$22-$35k for a used 1990s NSX, FD RX7 or Supra (even N/A)... no one bats an eye for an old car that needs work, even in stock and well kept form.
$16k for a car that is rarer than all 3 of those and people lose their damn minds and cry "drift tax".
its called "supply in demand". from the factory, only 1/3 of S14 koukis produced out of the 5200~ made were manual. i think the seller has every right to post the car for what hes asking. clean and unmolested examples of ALL 240s are damn near extinct. just because you cant afford it or you dont agree with the price or because your uncles sisters dogs golfishes owner knows a guy selling one up the street from his house for $2000 doesnt mean there isnt someone in their 30s or 40s whos established in life, can easily afford the price tag and would like a perfect example of a classic japanese sports car that is 100% legal, clean and reliable. if i was an S14 fan, i would heavily consider finding a way to purchase this car.... but S14s arent my thing. id happily shell out $10-$12k for a 100% stock S13 hatch in perfect condition simply because i would love to build a super nice hatch that doesnt require the usual amount of restoring everything and dealing with other peoples problems theyve caused!
whole point is... stop crying drift tax. mint condition S13s/S14s are now a RARE commodity that can fetch large sums of money simply due to their existence being almost extinct. not being a dick, just stating a simple fact of life.
