Right? This thread for me is the "cars not to buy" thread. Most things interesting have history, which inevitably gets unearthed here. Invaluable resource imo.

Coastr Posted 29March, 2022 Report Share Posted 29March, 2022 The 22B was a collectible the moment it was produced. I’m surprised any of them ever got driven. $400k is a lot but it’s money in the bank for the owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike-S Posted 30March, 2022 Report Share Posted 30March, 2022 Mate in HK had a 22B & R34 in the early 2000’s, back when they were relatively cheap (in the grand scheme of things as a single guy), loved them both. He’s a proper JDM boost head, R34 got modded to just under 1000bhp, with a ‘safe’ tune at 750bhp, but when he met his wife and moved out of the CBD, one car had to go. Yep, he’s still got the R34 🙄 Yep, kicks himself regularly that he sold the wrong car. MFX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luzzo Posted 30March, 2022 Report Share Posted 30March, 2022 I get the 22B is super rare. I'm sure it's a Hoot to drive. I'm sure its future collectible value is solid. But I ain't gonna be THAT guy parting with $400k for a Subaru WRX. Hell No. OBRUT, Joz, tomo and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sleazius Posted 30March, 2022 Report Share Posted 30March, 2022 I've got I guess you could say the spiritual successor to the 22B (sort of). It's one of the most fun road cars I've driven. Yep, the interior is a pile of junk, but so is the 993 interior in my opinion. Similar vintage cars. I can't see paying the money that gets paid for early 911s these days, but thankfully we all have different opinions as enthusiasts!

This car is for sale again through Richmonds Adelaide (and has been for some time) and they are asking $300k. It seems that's it not really a car that has the credentials for pure collectability (otherwise it would have been sold ages ago) but the price asked indicates that how they're pitching it. Is it a case of asking too much or not worth it at any price? My objective would be to have a car I love to look at, admire and drive (rarely, but not never) and not own simply as an investment, but I'm wary that it would be hard to sell in the future unless it's a dumpster fire sale. Any insight or advice would be much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's never a stupid question if you don't know mate 👍 Personally, I think it's a LOT of money for a converted car, and I don't think it's worth it...at all. $200k maybe, as they're a rare bird, but definitely not $300k Pearlydise and Philbee 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
