ON Somebody got a great deal on Ebay

RHD FD with new engine
Looks like somebody just got a great deal on Ebay, this thing is easily worth more then the 6k paid considering the work it has listed.
If this is the market for a RHD FD then it has certainly dropped from when i was looking.
Has the economy had this large of an impact on prices?

Now seen on auto trader

Yea, I thought the same thing - $6K seemed like a steal! - just saw the same car in autotrader using one of the same ebay pics - now its listed for $13K!!

I wonder if someones gonna make some cash or if the ebay deal fell through and the original owner woke up??

I've heard a rumour that insurers are, or are going to, only insure RHD vehicles as special-use. Limited KMs, too and from shows, etc. This could be affecting prices.

Anyone care to confirm/deny?

And BTW, I'm not attempting to inflate LHD prices. I've got a few RHDs on my want-to-buy list.

I'll go ahead and say that that is flat out B.S.

Insurance companies are not looking to do that. Another internet rumor.


$6400 for that FD is a deal and a half. Hell, any FD that runs should be able to fetch more than that. I'm amazed/impressed.

that's not how it works. if you are going to call bull **** on someone's question / comment, you have to provide some data or facts to back up your bullshit bullshit claim.

doesn't sounds like such a far fletched thing for insurance companies to do. they screw us around enough already....

it's likely a way of us to buy more merican cars!

48 bids and it got up to $6400?

WTF were they raising that a penny at a time? Chances are it didn't sell at that price....its on autotrader or was anyways.

RHD has never appealed to me, atleast for any car that is available as LHD. Why bother going through all the hassle with RHD when you can get a LHD FD?

The only car I could ever justify RHD is a Skyline. I would love to have a R33 GTR all black, with black wheels. Nightkids anyone?
