I'd say the car is worth 30+ today to the right buyer....
Key words there...
Most folks who see this car will just be loooking for a new used RX with the intent on modding it... they are the ones that will try to hit ya at 18-20k. F those guys.
You have a unique car, hold on to it, keep it clean/new/protected/exercised.

In the short term, it probably will. Long term though, I believe that the FD's value will skyrocket. All of the early to mid 90's import sports cars will eventually be as valuable (or more) than the late 60's muscle cars.
I say 10 to 15 years from now, you wont be able to touch a 3rd gen for less than 30k. A low mileage, stock example, will probably go for a lot more.

i'd kinda agree to above post considering one of the most expensive japanse 50-60s car that i know of, the toyota 2000gt, goes for 200K in due to the james bond movie which, (IIRC) was the or one of the only non aston martin movies? <-- i'm probably wrong about taht part.

I would buy a clean 93-94 R1-R2 for around 30,000 if it had around 10,000-30,000 miles on it, and everything was clean and stock. For me, numbers matter but when i sit in a car, sometimes you have that feeling that THIS is the right car.

Actually, 60's muscle cars are going for so much because they were the boyhood fantasies of now 60 year old guys with gobs of money to throw away on toys.
It'll all depend on the fortunes of the generation of teenage guys who lusted after the RX7's, Supras and 300Zs of the early 90's. The cars are rare, so there's potential.

There is no way Japanese sports cars from the early to mid 90's will reach 60s muscle car prices (at least at auction). The reason those cars go for those prices is because they have been in the public eye in movies, TV, music for 30-40 years. People remember wanting one when they were a kid. While we love them, the early to mid 90s Japanese sports car segment is/was too small to have that kind of cultural impact to demand those prices. In 10-15 years, I just don't think you'll see a FD go for $200,000+ like a Hemicuda (or something like that) would.

My point exactly.
With only 13 thousand or so produced, the demand will be very high. There will be more than enough interest to raise the price to rediculous levels.

'90s Japanese sports cars have a tiny following and, apart from the deeply lame F&F series of films, are almost unknown outside gearhead circles. Even the incredibly cool and very rare Toyota 2000GT is only selling in the low $100k or so range today - whereas some very uncool and very common US tanks from the same era are selling in the same price range.

One more opinion. . .while I hate to see a beautiful car like that not driven regularly, from what you describe the car should probably go to a collector. I bet there are agents out there that deal in such things? Find a wealthy sheik who will give you $50k plus and ship it to Saudi Arabia! (Okay, only half joking) The world will need some flawless examples of the way these cars rolled off the factory lines before we got our hands on them!
Good luck!

I think rediculous would be 3x the original price or more. I realize that it is hard to imagine someone paying 100k for an FD, but I don't think its out of the question really.

We can all argue about this until the cows come home, but in the end, only time will tell. I will be keeping my FD for as long as I can, and as close to stock as possible just in case I am right.

100k is not rediculous to me at all but not a very good investment either. However just like you I'll try to keep a nice stock example in my possession along with a couple of nice track cars until I can afford something better which in my case will likely never happen. All three though will be driven HARD
