Whatever the current market wants to spend. He listed the details. Let him sell the car. Just look at the fricken real estate market !
Don't need to add any features to your home and value in Cali goes up just living in it.

I sold my RS 10 years ago. If I had kept it and did nothing to it I can't imagine how much I could ask for it now a days.

Good condition Evo's are more and more a rarity.

 

If this price upsets you, I won’t imagine how you will get in about 3 years....

 

Yup. I would have offered you 60k. I love the Evo RS!!

 

It doesn’t upset me but when you’re comparing it to the pricing of the prior owner, it’s hard not to ask these questions.

And just to be clear, I’m down to pay the premium on these cars. It’s not a problem and I totally get how these are becoming rare and collectors cars.

I just wanted to see if there’s something that we’re missing here ($26K vs $38K).

What did the prior owner see that made him price it like that knowing that he could get more with the mileage and clean title?

I think most here would agree that it’s a fair and valid question.

 

Well your inquiries were more accusatorial and judgmental then just asking a simple question about the price. I guarantee most that read it would agree as well.

 

Wow i didnt look at this for a long time, sorry. Yes the previous buyer was asking somewhere around $26k. I put probably $15K+ into this car immediately after buying it. I think i've driven it 200 miles since owning it. I took it from a project that was not safe to something I am proud of. Where it should be for such an awesome and rare car. I'm disappointed to see the negative comments on here. Car is still available for the *RIGHT* buyer. Everyone has their own opinion. My opinion is this car is $100k+ car in 20 years and if no one buys it i can afford to hold it. I have diamond hands

 

Tons of idiots think this is still 2010 or 2015 that you can find lot cheap deals. It’s 2021, and it’s a 9 MR in low miles in these days, thing’s are changing, comparing with those Honda ITR and S2K ask double the price, Evo should have it’s value, or somebody help me to find a 30k miles Evo in a good deal?No one could, because the market are being so small. Evo are gaining its value, the best 4 cylinder car in the world should get some respect. If they are looking for cheap deal, why not just go to your FacEBOoK or EbAy trying to find some “ good deal”?

 

This is a nice car! GLWS

 

This FS post got controversial for good reason. If you're gonna swing for the fences on your price, you might get challenged. The better forums i've experienced are/were good because the members care. This may include asking questions or helping to clear up a mis-representation (specifically the production numbers, although I doubt OP said that to be intentionally disingenuous). This place seems to do so in a much more constructive and respective way than Facebook, for example. People who don't want public feedback regarding their post are free to use Auto Trader, Craigs List etc. To me, this is valuable because it promotes accountability.

That being said, GLWS to OP and any potential buyers. I appreciate the transparency regarding collision history, corrosion, underbody dent from jackstand, needs a tune etc.
Maybe edit the ad to reflect the correct production numbers, or leave that part out? Also, the tail lights are listed as being JDM versions, but the ones in the pictures are USDM IX versions. Maybe the JDM units are being included separately?

 

The mileage shouldn't really be a factor to its value though, no? It's just a benchmark to figure out wear among each part. Prices are going up, you are correct, but it's only because out of the xxxxx number of USDM cars released only a very few actually reflect that first year ownership model, or "30k miles". There are bodies with less than 50k on the dash, but when a transfer case, transmission, block, and a hood has been replaced, you're better off buying the car with 100k on the dash for the savings. Ideally, you'd want the vehicle with the least amount of owners and almost untouched so whether its 30k miles or 100k miles that should be your mindset going into it, no?

Finally, NOT the best 4 cylinder car in the world. awd turbo's are becoming a standard. Newer Bimmers and Honda's use that same platform, and are much more efficient for the environment and for their performance. With the decline in OEM parts supply and increases in cars produced it appears the market is shifting away from auto repair and more into short-term ownership, and with that in mind unless you got the "diamond 30k" mile i believe the prices will settle out to around 20,000, because realistically why would you want an evo when you can lease a new gla35 w/ a warranty for almost the same price as an evo without the headache of replacing a chrysler idle control valve

in short, if you want an evo: buy a roller

 

I’m going to have to strongly disagree with the second half of your response. The potential buyers for these cars are seeking them out for a reason, they are the last of a real Manual sports sedan. There isn’t a disconnect with the vehicle like driving a new GLA35 with warranty. This is a drivers car with a real driving experience. And prices settling out at 20k, man you have lost your mind. I see idiots buyer clapped out R32s for 40k plus all day, now that’s a bad purchase on the basis of no replacement parts available, at least here in the states.

There’s a buyer for everything and the right buyer will come along at some point. Good luck with sale, these cars are extreamly undervalued for the very clean examples.

 

I should've been more clearer. I think the average would be around 20k with the very very very few examples being around 30-60k. The thing is that the number of potential buyers will decline, as if there was any reason other than that you wouldnt see wheel hubs being almost twice as much as the previous generation of a model. Things like electronic steering arent becoming a standard just because of efficiency, and EV vehicles are soon becoming a reality. With that in mind, R32's were never sold here, and these cars do share parts along other skyline/nissan models, and they did make RWD R32's so less of a worry bleeding a transfer case after every clutch swap or even dealing with one. The evo may have been one of the most reliable iron block 4 banger turbo's, but there are tons of other "classics" to choose from, and i don't think there's a whole lot separating the evo from the pack

 

and to be clear: if you own an Evo because it is the car that's gonna make it past 5 years or even your death bed, hats off to you. if you are trying flip them, completely different story.

 

Agreed... I dont know what a GLA35 is, nor do I care. People buy an evo because its an evo. Same goes for supra, NSX, 300zx turbo, MR2 and several US sold Japanese sports cars. People dont buy an evo for a warranty nowadays. Dont think much people had warranty on the top of the list anyway.

To the OP, it goes without saying but ill say it anyway, ask what you'd like. If it doesnt sell like you said it wont be a problem, you'll still own an evo

 

Thanks Apex. I agree with everything you said. Will edit my post too based on your advice.
