RS America value?

[GSBC]

Could someone please help on a valuation of a 93' RSA, black, with all options, red belts/door pulls, and approx. 46K miles? Everything original that appears to have never been tracked (never at DE's at least)...no evidence of track equipment swap, etc.

The car is in great shape with some rock chips on the hood. Engine is strong with compression test done with great results.

Many thanks!

would start by looking at the rsa website. several for sale there.

RSA's seem to be in the $40k range right now. maybe $45k for a nice one?

[GSBC]

^^^ Thanks for the reply...I appreciate it!

They really seem to be all over the place. It does appear that a car without heavy track oriented modifications and/or high mileage command a pretty big premium.

I would think the ol RSA net site could help. $40ish sounds about right if as described.

Nobody appears to want to mention our current economic times, which is certainly a factor. Especially, for a car that is probably NOT going to be a daily driver. Most people aren't spending money, and banks are not quickly loaning money for a 17-18 yr old used car. With that in mind, I think $40K's may be a bit optimistic. and mid to high $30K's is more realiztic.

+1.

I have followed this market closely.

I would say 45k in todays climate.

What are "all options?" A/c and sunroof? Kinda defeats the purpose of the RSA if so. Mid-$30s feels right if I interpreted all options correctly.

Lower mileage cars with complete history will always command higher prices. Just because a car is priced at a certain level on RSA net, in Panorama, or in Excellence magazines, does not mean people are paying those prices. I know of one nice RSA that was priced in the mid 40s this summer and sold for mid 30s. The key is to find ways to track what cars are selling for when you are buying.

All and all, I believe RSAs are a good investment. I am looking for one now, and woukd buy a higher mileage car since I plan to drive it regularly and enjoy it.
