I'd pay an average of $13K with this current market anything could happen with itrs
I paid $11K for mine. Single owner, female, in Canberra. K's were OK given it is a 2000 model, 160,000+ kms...mainly driven around Canberra anyway! Had full service records from Honda.
The only problem is the faded red paint (top surfaces), of course the drivers side bolster on the Recaro which I've had repaired, and some marks on the carpet.
Do people sit on these bolsters while leaning out the car or what?
Pretty sure normal getting in and out of the car doesnt collapse them long as you dont put your full weight on it
It would appear so! Apart from just the wear of getting in and out over 12-13 years, the previous owner is a keen mountain biker so I guess she sat across the bolster whenever she was changing shoes.
Wow
I mist be the fussiest ****
Refusing to put my weight on it
Its a struggle to get out
Well, I bought a used car that's 12 years old for $11K for track days...though I have been tidying it up!
Trying hard not to be anal about it. My MX5 started off with the same idea but after retrimmed seats, respray...not so keen to drive on track! :p
As and FYI, an immaculate 00 DC2R NHB with 90K on the clock sold for $17.5K.
This one had immaculate paint, and a motor you could eat off though.
Well...it's will probably sell for a bit less than that, so it's worth it. I've got to respray my car which brings it to about $15K and it's got 170K kms!
is 17k for a 99 dc2r with 130k on the clock, has had a respray and been well taken care of, worth it or is it priced a bit high??
its completely stock btw
Too much. And I would be finding out why its had a respray.
just checked it out, reason from spray was due to it being scraped on the front passenger bumper and a little scuf on the rear bumber. so the side had to be sprayed, he then decided to do a whole respray to bring the car back to showroom condition so he paid 5k for a full respray. its genuine k's, original stock as a rock. maybe thats y its priced that high? wat u recon?
Only you can answer that. You have seen the car personally and will know what it's worth to you.
As a guide (and this obviously all just my opinion) seeing as that's top dollar for a dc2r, I would be expecting lower ks and only 1 or 2 owners. I also don't know why you would need to respray the side just for bumper damage. 5k is a big commitment so maybe the whole exterior was a bit rough before the respray.
in my opinion, looks like the owner has priced it high to recoup respray costs. i personally wouldn't want to spend some good coin on a resprayed car, hard to tell how it was treated prior. as for being stock as rock, might be now but could of been heavily modified before, hard to tell if things are taken off and put back on properly.
What i reckon? 17k is too much for what your describing.
Very rearly does after market paint out last original paint. If you leave it out doors, the new paint could be stuffed in 5 or 6 years. That would be in my mind.
But if its a clean car and looks legit it wouldn't be a bad purchase, offer abit under asking and see what happens if you're prepared to hedge your bets.
i payed 14.5 2 years ago. Bone stock with just haspot mounts JDM Teg R 16" rims and JDM front with stock hids
bump.
I'd still pay 20k for a stock as bone DC2R.
Must be immaculate and still a virgin.
I guess it depends on the car ur trying to buy, there're ones for sale that are in terrible condition, there're ones that have been modified to because race car, and there are stock ones that have low ks and have been left unmodified. I spent 14.5k on mine just yesterday, its got no rust one owner car and no modifications and has run around 130k. although dont forget it was a limited edition car only available in limited numbers for 3 years. although there are people selling and buying em for 16-20k. they are still not worth anywhere near that at this present time. u got two choices buy a shit one for a lot of money, or buy a less shit one for even more money, because of the situation of the car you could probably treat it as in investment. that's the big difference of the dc2 compared to a s2000, dc5s,ep3s.
around 19k for a decent one
What would a tidy stock one be worth with 320,000 klms.Runs perfectly.
I purchased a reasonable condition (front bumper has a few dings, left quarter panel signs of a respray, 170k) in WA for 8.5.
Thats bearing in mind rego was due and the engine needed a service and some new engine mounts.
Maybe 10ish would be a good starting point at that mileage Fraser? Unless it was really immaculate. Plenty on carsales at about 11 asking price
14k for decent
