Years ago I heard of a 2000R in California that supposedly had over 60k on it.
There’s been a few 95’s with high 30’s to low 40’s over the years.
Not sure about 93’s.

From an investment standpoint, you probably could of done a lot better over the last 20 yrs, and been able to enjoy this car.
It would have been hard not to do better than investing in this car. Say it sells for $125k. Your return would have been 4% assuming that you did not have any insurance, storage, or maintenance expense. It would be negative assuming that you did. If you took that same $55k and put it in the market you would have had ~$225k.
Even the best cars are absolutely terrible investments. Unless you are making the case to your wife, then they are incredible investments.
Agree. Drive the damn things!!

A friend of mine just picked up one with 500+/- miles and such a cool car. He took it out today to stretch her legs a little.
I thought the 00r didn't have a VIN like on a cobra jet?

If I were to buy it the first thing I'd do is leave the sellers lot sideways........
That would be incorrect.
That would be incorrect.
Wouldn't it be only 2.5%?
Final price ($125k) + profit ($70k) / initial investment ($55k) - 1
I'm probably wrong though.
They had a VIN number but i think you had to have some sort of NASA or SCCA license to be able to purchase it?
No enjoyment of that car - owner should have invested those initial dollars in real estate - would have done MUCH better
They had a vin and were street legal in all 50 states. The 00' R didn't require any competition licenses to buy. In 95' they required a competition license to order the 95' R. We used my license but sold the car to a customer without one. The 95's were built for the Motorola Cup so several of those cars did see racing action. The 00' R's, not so much. Most of those that were driven were track cars or driven back and forth to car shows.
Loved the 00 R and almost bought one that had like 15,000 miles on it. At the time the price was around $38k. Kick myself for not buying it.
Does anyone know the specifics about selling a car on BAT? I'm going to be putting me 93' Cobra up for sale in spring. It's a second owner teal car with 15,000 miles. I've only watched a few cars on BAT but they seem to do pretty well money wise. Haven't had the time to research how their process works.
Couple miles down the road from me if any of you money bags want me to take a look for you.
My brother in law sold an FJ on BAT after Nick, of all people, talked him into it lol.
If you want any specifics I can ask him. It seemed fairly straight forward, although, they are rather picky about what they sell on there. As far as we knew it was an all original 77 with 26k miles on it but we had no way of knowing if it had actually rolled the odometer. Basically just the previous owners word and a google earth photo from like 17 years ago of it sitting in the same spot he bought it from.
If you wouldn't mind asking him I'd appreciate it. I don't know anyone who has sold a car through there and I'd like some first hand knowledge. The car is a bone stock (except for the battery) 93' Cobra. All clean history. I bought it from the original owner last year. Was going to keep it as an investment but changed my mind. As someone mentioned after I pay insurance on the car for 5 or 10 years my profit % may not be that great. Figure I'll just do it now. I drove it home when I bought it, pull it out of the garage and leave it run for a while then take it on about a mile ride before parking it. I'm afraid to take the car anywhere so nothing happens to it.
Sorry for the thread jack. Maybe PM me with what he has to say so I don't hijack this thread. thanks
I'll be watching this very closely. $80k is about what it would take for me to part with mine.
My next door neighbor drives his 2000R as transportation. Not daily but pretty often.
