The BaT thread for the cars we won't buy, but kinda wish we would

Even by the standards of the day it was not quick, and I suspect it would feel lethargic by today's standards. But there really isn't anything like it for sale today.

I had an 84 Accord EX Hatchback with a stick. Great car. I drove it for 9 years before I went down the BMW rabbit hole (with short interlude at the beginning in the Volvo 850 sedan).

People are starting to figure these out. They are headed in the G8 GPX direction pricing wise. I think the time to buy has passed.

This one is even in boring colors and the interior is not detailed and the front plate is drilled and it still went for almost $50.

Man lots of fun stuff on BaT lately. I would take this over that Techno sedan that sold the other day for $5K more.

Mulberry is such a cool color and seems to hold up way better then dove. I bet with the SC’er this thing is a blast to drive.

Seems to be normal amongst Porsche owners. At least that is my observation. In this case the fifth owner is recently deceased and the estate is selling it.

Side note, I personally do not see pre-owned BMWs with nearly as many owners as a lot of P cars. Strange…

Pricing for them was comparable to the Camaro 2SS 1LE about a year ago (just before I bought my Camaro and in the valley between the summer peak in car values and them going up again as the semiconductor shortage started to hit). That pricing would suggest it's weaker than the Camaro right now especially when considering the BAT factor.

But, yeah, I think the SS will hold its value pretty well for a good while relative everything without a Porsche crest.

Any bets on this low mileage ZHP sedans final number?

I’ll say $30k in today’s crazy used dollars.

Wow. Best color and with a manual too.

That number might be right.
