    I think classics are based on rarity divided by age. (how man units exist/ how old the model is)

    The closer to 0, the classicer the classicification.

    Example:

    Fiat punto:5,000,000/20 = 250,000
    Ferrari F50: (350, but lets say 20 have been destroyed) 330/18 = 18.3
    1968 Charger 500: (estimate left) 70/45 = 1.55

    :D











    P.S. I'm talking out my rear.

    That's a pretty solid way to work it out all the same!

    I suppose part of what makes a classic is the relative rarity. Given how mass produced that Corolla was and how many of them were on the road back in its day, will there end up being few enough of them around for it ever to be considered a classic down the line?

    By that logic the Ford Model T, VW Beetle and Golf should never have become classics.
    Millions of the made and nothing special about them, they where common as muck.

    But having said that, the Corolla will never have the kind of scene like any of the above, but there will always be fans of them, no matter how boring the car.
    And I would not want one myself, just making the argument, no matter how ugly you are, somebody loves you!:cool:

    I think if you just copied all there ads in here it would win the thread they ask mad money for used stuff, allthough a friend of mine purchased a new Passat of them this year and they were over a grand cheaper than Newcastle west or Newmarket motors..

    You can buy a lot of flights for the €3k that that Mazda is overpriced by.

    That car has come up in this thread before, has it not? Im fairly sure the consensus at the time was that the price isnt too far off the mark.

    Another 22b for sale here for £22k Sterling. http://bbs.scoobynet.com/subaru-444/961250-subaru-impreza-22b-sti-377-a.html

    Well to be fair if it's genuine and that milage is right then it's a collector's item as there was only 400 ever made.

    Probably won't sell here but if that was up on Pistonheads it would be gone fairly quickly.

    And the car linked above has 55k more miles than it so it's not exactly crazy money to ask for.

    The one that has appeared here before was a different car, it was a spec C Sti. If the 22B mileage and condition is genuine he could very well get his €30k. It's a very limited market for the car though.

    Just realised it only has 6k miles on it! Bloody hell.

    Didnt realise so few were made. Only 16 made for UKDM also.

    That said, for €30k he could have made more of an effort; a few pictures would have gone astray! Maybe include a description of exactly what it is that he is selling...

    Judging by those fences in the pic, he's a collector of Subaru's.

    Think i saw one of his advertised for €50k not long ago :pac:

    The spec C!

    I'd love both of the scoobies, if only I had the €80,000 to buy them. :p

    I'd probably just buy a GTR though.

    €4000 is pricey enough for an RX-7, especially when you consider it needs a rebuild! :eek:

    Get that done and he can sell it for that much, a bit more even but it's well over priced as it is.

    What's the average price of a rebuild?


    Two nicer ones(IMO) on DD going for 6.5k.
    I get the feeling, as was said in the chat yesterday, to budget for a rebuild unless you've proof of one done already.

    edit -
    It would cost around 2900 for a rebuild in ireland thats what i paid for my rx7 but if i had the chance again i would go to the uk for rebuild
    http://www.backroads.ie/forums/showthread.php?10504-Mazda-RX-8-engine-rebuilds
    I think I'd rather find an rx that I liked with a knackered engine and rebuild it, than drive around in the unknown costing the same money.

    That a fair point to make, I still wouldn't pay €4000 for that one though, closer to €2500, €3000 at a push.

    I wouldn't bother going to the UK, that just seems like the typical self defeating Irish attitude to be honest. There are plenty of great rotary heads in Ireland, Eddie Doyle is second to none.

    May not be a wind up, you see a lot of these "with tax book" adds for sale. Ideal
    car to buy if you are planning on robbing one a sticking the plates on to match this log book
