BaT just had another six figure 00R sale yesterday. $106K for a 7K mile 00R. Not too shabby. I still think this car is way undervalued. I bet the people that were thinking of selling a couple years ago, but held off are over the moon with the new found love these cars are getting. I wouldn't be surprised if these brought Boss 429 money some day.
Another Six Figure 00R Sale

Always Evolving had nothing to do with Paul Walker… A lot of people think so but it’s not true. 00r #114 was fro AE as well. The black binder was suppose to come with the car when it was purchased at Russo and Steele. Rodas was the one I dealt with and shortly after him and Walker were killed in the accident.
I’m glad to see this car brought 106k. I also tend to agree that these cars will keep rising. They will bring more than boss 429 money… But inflation and so many more things go into that conversation. Hopefully the new owner has some good unmodified seats.

What
Paul Walker and Rodas (guy who was driving when he died) started the shop. Paul wore an AE shirt in FF
Says so right on their website lolol
Definitely strong money. I love watching these '00R auctions. I'll never own one, but I will forever love them.
My understanding, from buying a Mustang from Roger Rodas before their passing.... AE was a company that they set up to go racing and hold other assets like a car collection. Roger "owned" the mustangs, but they created a complicated web to, I assume, be as "tax friendly" as possible. The car I bought was titled in Montana. This complicated web took a long time, and court fights to figure out after their passing, and included reports that some cars mysteriously wound up with their manager.....
The seats were really interesting that someone would do that. I did not like that one bit. Otherwise looked like a nice car, the miles are nice, enables being able to drive it more, with out penalty.

That’s wrong. I talked to Rodas in length when I bought the car.
What is "wrong" with with @specracer said? You're being a bit vague with your reply.
Sorry, I wasn’t responding to specracer. I was responding to the guys name that started with a z. Rodas was partners with one other guy. Paul shared his passion with cars and stored some of his cars there but he was not a founder.
Considering some 00R’s were overflated by ridiculous Dealer ADM’s at the time of sale, quite a few “must haves” paid in excess of $75k+ back in 2000 - that’s fact.
So for those who were able to buy a 00R in 2000 for MSRP (or less) and are still the original owner today, they are the ones now making out very well.
IMO, if someone paid in excess of MSRP or the $75k+ for one in 2000, selling it for $106k isn’t really a home run - not nearly 23 years later.

Some owners paid a LOT less than MSRP when the market bottomed out and are rightfully excited where the market currently is for these cars. Sure, we could discuss inflation, the value of the dollar in 2000 vs. whenever a car was purchased and RIO, etc. However, I think the idea is that the 00Rs are now viewed as a desirable/collectible with values on the rise.
Not that I’ll ever sell mine, but having owned it for almost 22 years, and for what I paid to get it back in ‘01, I’m probably the owner with the most $ appreciation of all the cars.
I paid $21,550 back in 2001 and the car had 1500 miles.
Legally I’m the third owner.

I paid a bit more.
Yeah, these appreciated more than my mutual funds lol. Apple and Tesla- not so much
