I Looked to see how much KBB said my car was worth a few years ago and it said 9,000 somthing. I looked again today. With more miles it says my car is worth 11,000 somthing. I put about 10,000 miles on it and it worth more now than it was then.

Maybe the price of our cars is finally going up. God know supras have more than doubled. When I was searching for my FD (about 5 years ago)I was also looking for supras. Back then I found a lot of nice turboed supras for around 16-18k I even found a black 95 with 30,000 miles for 14,5k in palm springs that really tempted me to drive down there and pic it up. God I wish I had bought it now.

 

sucks for me thoug. By the time I get a job to afford an FD the price will be way too high T-T. Oh well I stick with my FC =P. DAMN MY ILL FATED LUCK!!

 

Alright well then that means my FD is now officially for sale! Can't afford it!

 

Yeah, I noticed this too. On auto trader half of the fd's for sale is in the $24-28k range. I say this is a really good thing, hope it keeps steady or go up even more.

 

that'll also make OEM FD replacement or even perhaps aftermarket products rise up. it's a complement.

 

The prices have been going up over the last year or so. That's why I was so happy that we got my wife's FD for so cheap.

 

It's all those spoiled Bay Area kids's parents buying them their 1st car. Then they crash it: Fd's are getting rarer and rarer each day.

 

Well I will be selling my '95 fd next week in auto trader and probably ebay. Quick details are:

43,000 miles on body
Brand new engine and turbos installed by Mazda (only 2,000 miles on it)
5 speed red with tan leather
All STOCK- Touring model. always garaged.


No price yet.........

 

Amen to that!!!!!!!

 

That price sounds way Jacked up. I think it needs to go down. If the price goes up I never be able to buy one

 

i dont know other state, but in CA specially in Bayarea the FD price are raising same as the house. People can afford it

 

I've also noticed taht Turbo FC's are now a dime a dozen in the forsale section here but still cost alot.

 

Holy motha of god! I checked mine and it did go up. haha. It used to say 9k and now its 13,290 in "good" condition w/ 86k miles. Man, this just made my day

 

Did NA FCs also go up in price?

It says a GXL, with 71,000 original miles in "good" condition under Private Party Value is $4,055.
I could have sworn when I searched about a year ago they were in the low 3K range. I may be wrong though.

 

thats awsome.

 

that sucks ***, i've been saving up for an FD for a longass time, still have a long way to go.

 

That sucks. 6 years ago I sold mine with 69k for like 4k. I know today I could have gotten more.

 

You think that "road and Track" issue that named the FD as one of the 10 most collectable cars had anything to do with it? That issue was on the Newstands around Christmas time. So a reaction in the market would just now be noticed. Remember, KBB is a REPORT of the average price that cars sold for Last Month

 

Jhammons, I'd be willing to bet that you are right. That very well might have influenced the price increase. In any rate, I'm glad that it's happening.

 

wow. I'm glad it is going up. for a min. there I thought our cars are just going down. lol...

 

damn........and I'm planning on buying one in the next few month........gotta buy one before F&F

 

I wish that they'd stop making those movies. The only thing that those movies do is convince idiots like Dirky Dirka to go out and buy RX-7's. Then they'll be even more rare because the idiots will just wrap them around a tree!!

 

Have you guys seen the previews for F&F tokyo drift. It dosent actually look that bad. It looks a lot better than the last one. Just look it up on yahoo.

Samual hubinett and rhys millen are both doing a lot of the drifting in it.

 

F & F, i'm never gonna watch another one!! Sick of that ****. anyway, i think that r and t did something to that and also them becoming rare like you all said. I believe that also the rx8 had something to do with it. The popularity of rotaries are rising because of the 8. And also, the 8 isn't turbo'd so it makes people that want or own an 8 look back at the 7's for those needs and want to buy them. Supply and demand, once the supply is limited, demands goes higher and also when demand is higher, price becomes higher. Basic economics right there. Saving up for a rx7 too... this sucks in my part but at the same time, the respect and value of the rx7 is more aperant now. The rx7 deserves higher prices, more than the supra because its a rare engine (rotary with twin turbo), handling is freaking awesome, looks are great and because they are more limited than supras. makes me wonder, what the hell did i ever see in a supra, rx7's are way better.

 

This is good news.
