need advice on 95R2
I have been offered $30,000 for my 95 R2... the guy said he will fly in and pick it up this weekend... do you think I should do it or hold out.... I was wanting closer to $32 for it do you think I can get it? the R2 is in freakin awsome shape ... inside looks and smells new, original motor and turbos... all miles original at 20,000+ ....no problems with the car it runs perfect and pulls between 19 - 20 vac at idle... no smoke..no wrecks and I do not ever drive it in the rain...built by pettit ... it is a very solid car probably the last of the 95 R2s in this condition...what do you think?

^^ How long have you been trying to sell it, and how motivated are you? It's up to you if you're willing to wait for the additional $2000. By my calculations, $2000 is about 6% of 32k. On the other hand, if know for sure that he'll pay $32k if you hold out for a month, you've just earned $2k for doing very little work.

Man, your car is amazing! I'm sure you have solid reasons for selling it, but damn I really don't think you'll find another one as clean as yours ever again. Beautiful machine .

If you want to sell it and the buyer is serious, I would jump at $30k. It is well above market value. And yes, I know, everybody thinks their FD is worth $20k+, $25k+, $30k+ but they are not.
Look at the time it took Fritz to sell a pristine car with 24k miles for $17k:

Is your car worth $15k more?
If you listed it on Autotrader or on this board, after many months of fighting with 'lowballers' you would probably get $20k or so for it.

If you need the $ do not negotiate over a couple k. Values seem to be holding very well particularly as it relates to 94-95 R2's Do not expect double digit price increases or big jumps in the near term. Repair costs tend to be high and that keeps it from moving up quick.

Wow, beautiful 7! $30k sounds really hard to turn down, especially if you could use the money. At the same time, it's obviously gonna be tough to let it go. And even if you do plan on gettin another one, that's just another opportunity to create another amazing work of art. Sorry you have to make this decision. Hope all turns out well.
