Maybe you can get a DC2R for $13K, but you'd have to bargain hard. A lot of people here in Brisbane are still demanding hefty prices (and have failed to sell, but they remain delusional). Depends how many are on the market really. For $13K, you'd be getting an example with higher Ks.
Biggest killer with a DC2R is the insurance. I've looked into it. They quoted me more than twice what I'm paying for my EM1.
Including insurance, you are looking at 15K +, much more than the buyer's budget.

Well if you look into it that way. You'd probably need to fix the dc2r when you get it. Common problems gearbox, clutch, dizzy. So you've gotta fork out moneys.
Depends on what insurance you get. I just had 3rd party was like 400$ but full comp was 3k?
If you are on Ps still you'd be expecting to pay around 2k for full comp and that goes for any of the cars above pretty much.

when i was considering purchasing a dc2r insurance was one of the biggest killers..(2.5k I think it was) I also quickly discovered that with the nature of the dc2r most of them had been molested/modified and not maintained yet the majority of owners seemed to think they could demand top dollar for trashed cars..dreamers. They are getting up in the kms now and most of them have been through a few owners. Dont get me wrong theres clean well maintained examples out there, its just a mission to find them...
Anyways I ended up with an EM1 and havent regretted it since

Don't agree with you chauster. Getting just 3rd party is madness. DC2r is a theif magnet. Just imagine how much theives can get when they strip and part out a car llike that.
Also, DC2 and EM1 insurance is, like I said before, less than half of that of a DC2r.
