Truth. And maybe I'm overvaluating the potential for low-mileage 91-94 coupes, but I don't know...I feel the quest for "something different than the other collectors" will keep leading a path to our cars, especially once Joe DeepPockets sits in one for the first time after ignoring them for 25 years. I know I'd feel different about second-guessing that joyride on any given Sunday if I had bought TheDon67's 105k mile '92 back in 2011.

All I have to say is....Holy Cow. The value of our low mileage GPW's are going through the roof!!

 

[boca rat]

I win? 82-78/2=80. Now where's that powerball ticket?

The last big seller on BAT went for $69k I think and needed TB/WP, had double the miles and was not in as good condition as this.

$78-82k

Edit: I then went and looked at the latest comments, and the price, $75k with 6 days still to run. Maybe I should revise upwards.

 

[neuronbob]

Damn. So what's my 1999 with 60k miles worth on BAT? LOL! She's clean, someone give me $70k.

Just joking....

I only bought in November and prices are already appreciating beyond what I paid....

Its in your neck of the woods - do you know the car? Or is it just a rumor that all Brooklands owners know each other?

 

[robbiedawg]

we do all know each other,and we actually have a secret club where we sit around and gloat about having green cars.
seriously,i don't know this car, it's about 3 hours from me.it might explain,though, why someone saw a green nsx a while back at the airport parking garage,and asked if it was me. anyone who knows me well knows that the likelihood of me parking my nsx at the airport are about as great as the chances of me playing in the nfl.

 

[docjohn]

Is bat named because all the cars sold are concurs garage queens, or potential wrecks that may not run

 

[prym8]

The trailer is where you live after the divorce.

 

[docjohn]

lol good one!

I had to repost this brilliant bit for posterity:

Speed and Attention a car whores contention,

Owned too many cars, don’t need to mention


Acura Label. Already added it to my stable.
Auction Juice on hand with my IMAC on my table.


Scroll through… all shots. High Rez. Full View
Brooklands Green, Tan Leather Clean,

Takin’ off, with the Radio Off, … hiding that tall Antenna

So Say goodbye, to the Three Fifty Fives…
burned through more money than the last 2 wives
And Nine Elevens, Learned those lessons
Burning Cash, causin’ driving depressions


So word to the Wise to my Enthusiast Guys
Who have that Itch, …. that make them dealerships Rich
You know they’re gonna say – “Ricky Sixx Called it”


Buy the Exotic that won’t bleed your wallet

He's not a first timer rhymer.

 

[creeker]

The BAT car sold for $50k.

 

[vivanshah]

Looking forward to the first 00/01 on BAT. Probably unlikely given #s though.

 

[creeker]

Now there's a 1991 listed on BAT, currently at $15k with six days to go. Dealer listing.

 

[BamaFan]

This one will be interesting. Engine is not original. But looks good otherwise.

 

[blue_myriddn]

Bah - I am watching this one: http://bringatrailer.com/2016/03/24/one-of-500-34k-mile-1986-dodge-omni-glhs/

Big bucks for a little car though.

 

[Yinzer]

Sometime soon I may look for a non-truck summer commuter car under $7,500. One like this will be on my radar, though I'll likely regret it after getting spoiled with the NSX. The '91 300Z I owned for 2 years was constantly homesick for the repairshop.

[blue_myriddn]

I really like those old Zs, they have such great lines. I remember when they were new and I had a serious lust for them. I got to the point where I went to a dealership to look at a used one when I was shopping for a prelude. I was all ready for the test drive when we got in and the battery was dead. Boo! I have always heard they are rough on maintenance and prone to electrical problems.

 

[Yinzer]

I thought I really struck a deal when I bought a 10-year-old 1991 black non-turbo Z with only 75,000 miles for around $10,000 in 2000 from literally a little old lady in Westland, Michigan. What an impossibly good deal I thought: my 2nd favorite affordable dream car, half the price of a new car, and surely with Japanese quality. When all was said and done, over the 2 years it cost me around $375 a month, considering repairs and the difference in the buy/sell price. Regrets? Nope. Those are such beautiful cars.

Meanwhile in BaT land, here's something I had never seen before. The interior/cockpit looks astounding for the 60s.

Just love the simple styling that has some unique lines as well as a very unique beak but yet isn't trying too hard, cough cough Acura California design studio cough.

 

[blue_myriddn]

Pretty car.

BaT is a bad influence - this pretty 328 is now making me want a bigger garage: http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1986-ferrari-328-gts/

 

[uku]

The Red/black NSX with non-original engine sold for $41,750 ($43,837.50 with buyer's premium). Seems like NSX prices are strong on BaT.

+1 one on that, and a dozen other cars every month!

Bring a NSX - I mean, Bring a Trailer has another NSX up for sale:
