I was sure they all had FD3S for some reason. Just checked mine and it does not either.

19K I believe.

Pics:






I have a question though. In the event that the car was crashed/hit how would insurance handle it. It's not like the car can be repainted to spec or anything...I don't think. And would insurance just value it as a regular 94....because that would SUCKKKKKKKK if it were the case.

If you have regular insurance, yes that is what would happen. You can get collector car insurance on our cars though, and if that was the case you could have it insured for the appropriate value.

Someone with a Chaste White FD needs to park next to him and shoot pictures. I'm curious if there's much of a difference. I can't tell from pictures.

I would do it, but I'd have my tow my car over there.

I think that everyone who wants to know what the color really looks like should look at this pic. If you have seen a chaste white you know what it looks like up close. This color is pretty crazy looking...from far it looks white but up close it's like silverish metallic pearl.



that clearly shows the true color

Since it was listed at $19k for several weeks before selling, $17k is probably a good guess.

I considered buying this myself but the mileage was higher than I'd prefer.

Looking forward to the pictures.
