don't remember if somebody posted this already...during my search on autotrader found one owner asking $38K for a 10K mileage FD.

JoeD

Damn...I'd be the first one to pick that up if it was close to the bay and the price was dropped to ~$32K...

neofreak

heh, imagine how much the mint <100 mile one would go for.. damn!

Remind me if I'm wrong, isn't that more than that car sold for. I have a 94 with 24 orginal miles, maybe I can get 40k for it

Goober

I happen to know the guy selling that car. Very nice car for sure. Worth the price he is asking? Not to me, but to someone that really wants a low mileage FD that bad and has a good amount of money to throw around would.

JoeD...you are quite the hypocrite...

RonKMiller

Somebody will buy it. I think everyone should keep a copy of that ad so that when it comes time to talk to the insurance adjuster or decide to sell.......

Wasn't there just a thread talking about how low miles is sometimes as bad as high miles (for the engine anyways).

These things need to be driven! So you can pop the motor and build a monster!

Well i understand that the fuel system can corrode if you never drive the car. I remember seeing someone post something about their porsche sitting & they ended up having to replace just about everything in the fuel system.

That's ridiculous. I paid 18K for my R1 last year and it only had 17,800 miles. The paint and interior was in pretty good condition, came with a bunch of upgrades and with all the service records. That guy is smoking something...

hahaha, yoiu did get raped
i payed 18.5 for my 95 MBM PEG 5spd with 42k miles

crazysuprakid

Lol I consider myself raped after seeing some of the prices cars are going for and seeing how much I payed for mine. A lot of those high price cars have been in auto trader since octoberish when I got my car, The economy's not good enough for people to have taht much money laying around for something like that...You'lll probably never get any kind of return on the investment, especially if you enjoy it.

I think that 38k could be spent better. Crap, imagine the monster you'd have if you go a 93 with blown motor for round 6k, that give you 32k to fix up the car.

half past twelve

I got my 93 r1 with 40k original miles for $16500.

Spoolin7N

i traded my 97 Z71 that i owed right at 10K on for my chaste white 94 FD with 62K miles. told the dealer i wasn't paying anything more- i come in and we trade keys and you swap my financing for me to pay the balance for the car. it was a 1 owner - doctor- dealer serviced every interval.......even when the ast and upper radiator hose were replaced b/c they blew up!!! now i have a paperweight holding down my garage floor awaiting a rebuild since nov 2K1.

cavellm

I paid 20k for my cym with 72k miles. I think price is what you determine what you think the car is worth. Yeah, I would like to have paid less, but I love my car, and think every penny is worth it. It was in excellent condition, inside and out. Showroom.

I love her every single day I get in her. Plus I also get 30k mile warranty, will replace my engine, turbos, etc, etc...

For a car like this, blue book means nothing, it's all about what you *think* it's worth.

Mine was worth every penny.

There's a guy in Michigan selling a 93 CYM R1 with 19K miles for $29000.

I paid 16.2 for my 94 white PEG with 41k. Pristine condition with a $2500 stereo & $800 alarm.

17K for 93 black base at a dealership 5 years ago...

36K miles.

PVerdieck

29K, last May, for 94 R2 with 7497 miles.

Some FDs did go for almost 40K new....

redrotorR1

Kinda false advertising there. First off, it's more like 700-800 of the '95s that made it here. Second off, there's plenty more '95s outside the US ... in other words, it's not a collector car ... at least, not yet.

This guy must be awful optimistic. Even hardcore enthusiasts might have trouble paying almost sticker price for that car.

DavidDeco

No way in hell I'd pay for that.

I paid $25k cash for a '93 back in '94 (plus another $1200 for the 7 year extended warranty THANK GOD!) for a Touring model (which was pricier) with about 19k miles on it.

More power to him though if he gets it. Just not worth it in my opinion.

greg schroeder

Given a 93, 94 or 95 in near perfect condition with 10,000 miles or less I don't see any reason why it shouldn't be worth as much as some of the new cars that are available on the market.

For those that got a good deal on low mile cars, that's cool, but as time passes fewer and fewer of the nice ones are around. It's only a mater of time before the stock low mile cars are worth more than they were new.

RonKMiller

I paid $31K for a 93 Touring with 7 miles.

Of course that was in 1993. I still own it. I still love it.

The dealer wanted almost $37K.

I showed the sales manager an article in the Wall Street Journal that said that Mazda had hundreds of them sitting on the harbor in LA that dealers would not take since everyone wanted ****ing mini vans and SUV's. It took me a week but we worked out a deal.

Mazda ****ed up. If they produced the same amount today (with the improvement you would expect in 10 years) they would sell every one and have a long waiting list, even with the economy in the dumper.

Market timing is EVERYTHING!
