    For whatever it's worth, I had my stock 97 vr4 with 60k miles listed at $14.9k and it took nearly 6 months to sell. I didn't even get my asking price. Market for these cars are just horrible.

    Imagine if they had been in the first fast and the furious movie as planned, then every nutcracker out there would have wanted one:

    All that I know is that I'm in mine for the long haul...The receipts just keep piling up & my bank account continues to dwindle down slowly.

    Yup, they are now one of the best bang for the buck cars.

    But to make you feel better, back in 1997 my cousin picked up his Roadrunner for $5,600, he sold it in 1999 for around $6K. That same car is worth almost six figures now. HAHAHA

    Our cars are bottoming out, they are considered old right now, they are hitting their low before they come back up. All collector cars do it. When my generation hits 50-60's expect the '90's cars to come up to auction. So, in 20-30 years. haha

    Yea, we're sitting on lots of inventory for long periods of time. Even cheap non-turbos aren't selling. We listed a 95 non-turbo that was very well maintained for $5k. Sold it for $3k after over 6 months of sitting on the market. 1st gen twin turbos seem to be going for next to nothing. Just saw a guy on facebook sell his 1st gen vr4 for $4900 with something like 96k miles on it. So sad.

    The 97 and up cars don't seem to pull the premium they once did.

    I was actually looking around at prices to see what I might be able to get for mine if I wanted to buy another car - not worth selling it at all, especially once modified.

    Ugh, that sucks.

    What freaks me out, is with prices getting so low and the buy in for these cars getting so low, that people who spend money are going to be rare. I don't want people like you guys jumping for a different platform. Actually, i take that back, I do so y'all can make money, just continue to support us too.

    Y'all's Spyder is a perfect example, I can't believe that it hasn't sold yet, for over asking.
