I don't even know how to figure out what it's worth......I would have never thought of a CR as being worth less than $10k, but......
I keep getting lowballed on my car (or the extreme other where people don't believe the price and want to know what's wrong with it) and thought I had it priced pretty good for a quick sale. This is after considering the dealerships are offering 22-23,200 for trade in (after accounting for 7% taxes I save because of trade in). So what do you guys think, is my price too out of whack?

Hello i have to add my honest opinion
Im not here to argue or discourage anyone but as myself a former CR owner, many things factor into the value of the car
Yes i have talked to Th@n@tos i offered him similar to $23300
And why? Because fender and trunk have to be refinished and once any part of the body part on CR is refinished It will obviously react to paintmeter and there is decrease in value CR being collectors car this is critical that it was once refinished for any reasons, and alslo the owner mentioned that the it was once lowered, although it is now back to stock, the balance of the suspension system is probably not as good as the CR which was never lowered before
If you want nice bodywork and paint job which is must for these CRs
About $2000 is expected
$23300 +$2000 = $25300 I would not mind paying $2000-3000 additinal for a perfect CR which has no history of bodywork
It is still very nice car and the seller was very informative and honest
But sametime it is difficult to justify pay his asking price plus additional cost for bodywork which contributes in diminished value cuz of that

That said I think the price is ok with the low miles, but the bodywork issue is really going to limit you to a smaller subset of buyers that will be willing to be ok with that.

I keep getting lowballed on my car (or the extreme other where people don't believe the price and want to know what's wrong with it) and thought I had it priced pretty good for a quick sale. This is after considering the dealerships are offering 22-23,200 for trade in (after accounting for 7% taxes I save because of trade in). So what do you guys think, is my price too out of whack?

I think your price is quite fair. Mine has 12K less miles and no body issues and I wouldn't take a penny less than 30K, so 25ish seems reasonable especially since these thing are only appreciating (like most factory specials).
Seriously, can anyone name another factory built specialty car as raw or rare as the CR for less than 50,000USD?

Th@n@tos, I feel your pricing of your CR is fair, especially with your full disclosure within your ad. One feature that affects your sale is the color, we (the CR forum) are partially at fault for pushing some colors over others. Far more potential buyers would prefer ABP, Rio or even GPW. Berlina Black is a great color, but requires more work to detail and appeals to a typically smaller group of potential buyers.

I recognize the SN hehe. I was hoping you were going to make it out last night to the S2000 meet so I could talk you through what to expect when looking for a CR. Feel free to PM me with direct questions. To broadly answer your question, yes. I would say there are three groups of CR owners. Collector/garage queen owners, owners that buy to track/race the CR, and lastly the group of owners that this is just a car to them. The last group unfortunately treat this like any other vehicle and do not car for it. Every car group experiences this, its just tough with a limited production car because that means there are even fewer clean cars out there.
Question for you, what is your intent with the car?

Hi everyone,
I am speaking with a forum member who potentially might put up his 2008 ABP CR for sale and I was wondering what you guys thought would fair market value for the car. The CR has 68k miles, well maintained, mainly autocrossed, no accidents, and had a clear bra installed soon after original purchase. The car is set up for STR class in autocross and currently has the following mods: Moton shocks, Buddy club wheels 17x9, titanium exhaust, KN intake, PLM header, flashpro, and weighs about 2600 currently. If I was to purchase the vehicle, I told the owner that I would be interested in purchasing it stock.
Based on the history and previous modifications done to the car, what do you guys think would be a fair market value?
