what bothers me the most:
in 2018, the 25 year rule for 93 FDs kicks in which means you can import a 93 RX7 and customs won't touch is because the car is 25 years old and they don't care anymore. I'm just predicting a massive influx of RHD cars into the US ultimately depreciating the value of our cars
just my .02 and that primarily is the reason why I turned down a 93 BB R1 with 15k on it for $27.5k
in an American market, imports have never been a source of real appreciation value....I have my FDs for fun and not an investment

Rollers can be in the $3k area and some that are in decent condition that require and engine rebuild go in the 8-9k range. I was lucky enough to get mine for that price and it just got an engine rebuild. The guy just needed to get rido it and I was the first to show him some cash.

I'll never sell my FD so it really doesn't matter to me *but* just because something hasn't happened yet it doesn't mean it will never happen. Oh wait that's wrong because that toyota 2000GT sold for crazy amount of money... Anyway my point still stands.

The good ones or the mostly stock well cared for TT cars are now selling for 20k plus if in good shape. Take a look at autotrader, cars.com etc...
In 5 years the prices for cars with less than 40 to 50k miles in good shape will be 30k plus. The values are going higher and higher everyday
So take care of your car and fix things as needed etc... and it will pay for itself in 10 years time. You certainly won't make money but you shouldn't loose too much and in the interim you have the pleasure of driving one of the greatest cars of all time
PS Don't expect your single turbo car or your V8 to go up in value much SORRY

Definitely one of the greatest car designs of all time.

I've got a red, one owner 1995 FD touring with less than 35,000 miles, 100% stock except for an aftermarket CD player and speakers (have the essentially never-used original cassette player and speakers in a the box). If I were to convince myself that I could part with it, what kind of asking price should I start with?

Typically at the 25 year mark cars are considered antiques and this car is already a classic so I predict a big increase in value/pricing over the next 5 years. You've owned it for 20 years don't let it go cheap just when the potential for a marked value increase is around the corner
I just picked up a VR 95 R2 (13k miles) and won't let it go for anything south of 28k and I consider that price a bargain If I was smart I'd store it for 10 years and auction it off because the FD is the next Toyota GT http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2011...r-650000/?_r=0

If you don't need to sell it and it's a very nice one owner car which is what it sounds like to me don't give it away or you will regret it. I'd say no less than 25k

When it comes to an antique collector there's nothing practical about owning it so reliability, build quality etc....etc..... goes out the window it's all about those immeasurable little things that the FD has in spades.

1993 Mazda RX-7 Consumer Reviews
Even if the supra was as light/fun to drive and handled as well as an FD I still wouldn't take it over the FD. Other than build quality, brute power and reliability it gets hammered by the FD from every direction.
The door is too tall, from door to top of roof is too short, the front is too long, the nose is too then/90s etc...etc...
I think the supra is a cool car and when it 1st came out I thought it's appearance ALMOST rivaled the FD but at this stage it's not even a close race. In 20 years when a supra and FD show up together at a car show I know where the crowd will be standing. OR NOT...........I'm a little biased with rose colored classes but I can't hold my tongue when it's a subject this important

The supra certainly has a value head start but one car has the magic and the other doesn't.

I own both, so for me its a tough call. And you and I are on opposite ends of the racing spectrum, i drag race, you road race... So from where I stand the Supra is the car to beat in racing.
I still think the Supra will always bring more value. A low mileage (under 80k miles), 6-speed car will bring upper 40's RIGHT NOW. under 60k miles is mid 50's. I can only imagine how crazy it will be in 10-15 years...
I got the FD fuel tank cleaned and coated btw, should be back up and running tomorrow. thanks again Fritz

I wish I agreed with you on this one but I can't. While I personally would chose the FD over the Supra any day, most collectors look at production numbers. The TT supra is far more rare in the states with about half as many being produced/sold compared to the FD. TT supra a production numbers are somewhere around 6,000 with only around 2400 6 speeds sold in the US. While I've driven plenty of both over the years, and the FD is on another level as far as driver's experience, the Supra will be the big collector car of the 90s imports. I wish I was wrong but highly doubt I will be.

Seriously though it's not always about the #s think mustang, corvette etc....
