EP3 Type R value

[SaggyOstrich]

I have just bought my first Type R and I was wondering, are they likely to start going up in value?

Now I am not looking to sell it at all and I never buy cars based on depreciation/appreciation but I saw something the other week someone saying they're only going up in value and it just made me curious.

Probably never tbh mate, unless it's a low mileage JDM premier edition.

Money is in EK9s, DC2s, DC5s, s2000s, and FN2s.

Yeah definitely the premier and the JDM are the ones and agree with the other models for holding their value except the FN2.

Ahh that makes much more sense now and yep totally agree the FN2 is the odd one out!

If you don't drive it and wait for everyone to write off or run the mass of existing ones into the ground then I reckon it will be worth a premium in 10 years+

But where's the fun in that! :P

Haha very true, I am never one to buy cars and then let them sit there anyway! Was just curiosity really.

Need the price of the Integras to come down so I can get one on the cheap but I think they're only going in one direction now.

I have definitely missed the boat to pick one up a reasonable price but that's not going to stop me, I will at some point be purchasing a DC2 or DC5 even if it means paying way over the odds.

Well worth it mate, i'm not going to part with my DC5 for some considerable time (until its worth enough to fund a flat deposit ahah, so a good few years yet). Brilliant cars.

That's it mate, when I can finally get one it will be a car I keep for life or like you say it gets to a point where you'd be crazy not to sell up!

It's weird that the Premiers are so sought after when they aren't much different at all.

[SaggyOstrich]

When I was looking I wasn't too fussed on whether I had a prem or not because of the minimal difference, I just wanted a facelift Cosmic Grey and that's what I got! Found it to be a fair chunk cheaper than the premier editions.

What I'd really want is a JDM version though, just for the LSD alone.

I'm not expecting to make money on it at all, but if it stays at the same value by the time I chop it in for a DC5 that would be perfect.
