But this thing is used, and unfortunately most domestics don’t hold their value. I’m sure it cost a ton to build, but it’s still a used car, ya know?

Yea, but a lot of people also want to build vehicles their own way with their unique touches to it. Look at what happens when local people buy other locals’ cars. Everyone always says “oh that’s \_\_\_\_\_\_\_'s old car!”

As this is true with MOST domestics certain ones are going up in value or holding their own … Since the TBSS was discontinued the value has acctually been going up… just sayin…

Really? Were you in your truck? If so I’m shocked I didn’t notice you. If it was around 9:30ish I was just leaving class at Siena.

I could go down the street and pick up a Trailblazer SS…Can’t say the same about an R34 where there are what, ~24 in total in the United States? I’d take a $68,000 R34 Skyline over some overpriced Chevrolet Blazer.
Also considering his R34 is actually under priced for what they tend to go for…

I didn’t say the R34 wasn’t worth $68K. You miss my point…
…there are less 8-9 second TBSS’ in the world than there are R34’s in the U.S.

Then what was your point? You could’ve just said his R34 is a used car as well…which I really wouldn’t say it was a used car, more of a collector’s item. Mentioning his asking price made it sound like you were calling him out on his R34 being an “over priced used car”.
Also, yes, there may be less 8-9 second TBSS’ in the world than R34’s in the U.S…That’s because there’s only a select few owners willing to put forth the effort. The rest of the owners are grandpa’s and soccer moms who wanted the top of the line…

My point was that being a used car shouldn’t always be a reason to discount a vehicle’s value. Like you said yourself, rarity, market and appeal also play a strong part in a vehicle’s selling price.
No need to get your panties in a bunch. I said in his FS thread that the car was beautiful and a great deal. There should be no reason for you to get defensive for him.
Also; I agree, grandpas and soccer moms can have nice cars too…
