How rare is this model third gen?

I know there were roughly 500 '95 models. Out of that probably less than 100 R2-s. Does anyone have an exact breakdown of how many of each color 95 R2-s there were originally, before abut 1/3 of them got destroyed by ********?
I think there are only like 10 silver 95 R2s on the States. Thanks.

Shh, the effectiveness of searches are a secret.

Besides, I'm killing time until the UPS man delivers my 1-5/8" crowfoot deep flare wrench so I can continue with my tranny rebuild. Try and find that at Autozone!

How much do these cars normally cost? I tried to look around on the internet but you never can really tell if those cars are real or not.

Depends on the year and the condition of course, but roughly speaking a '93 model will set you back anywhere from $10K to $17K, a '94 brings about $12K to $20K, and a '95 model will be anywhere from $15K to $30K. Naturally there are examples of each year that will be extremes, but this gives you a ball park figure.

Do a seach on AUTOTRADER or some similar site. AUTOWEEK also often has 3rd gens for sale, as does Hemmings and the DuPont Registry, but be prepared to see VERY high priced models there.
