Will DSMs Ever Be Valuable?

[MustGoFaster]

My thoughts exactly. I think if I get rid of mine I'll regret it a few years down the road. This is the first car that I've actually cared about keeping nice, I want to keep it for quite some time. Sometimes the issues piss me off, but they're mostly caused by me anyway.

Some people fail to see that. They get :violin:

I don't think they will be worth a ton, but if your car is clean and done right you could def. make some money on it.
I hope i don't sell mine.

My buddy picked up late last year, a 92 Talon TSi AWD, FULLY stock from the original owner w/ 96k miles on it. From the south so it's CLEAN, for only $2700!

I think they will retain value to those who know what they are. I know of a guy who had a 1989 Turbo Trans Am in a shed that was completely MINT, like 1000 miles on it, and he sold it for $4K. If you know what they are its alot better in deciding there value.

[Jakey]

They will. There have been (2) 1Gs sold by NABR members in the last couple of years that fetched the $7.5-$10K mark. One of which was just up the road from me in Waterloo.

I think they might be in some time. I'm sure there are a lot of DSMers out there who will one day actually want another, kinda like what was said earlier.

Well just like I have a guy down the street from me that is like 55 years old and is completley obsessed with his 91 talon that he bought brand new in 91 and has TONS of money invested into it and IS the cleanest 1g that I have EVER seen.

He will never part with it and if he can hold on to it for 17 years and still be in love with it then all of us dsmer's have something to look forward to so suck it up and have no regrets...

I've had mine for over 15 years so far, and if possible, will keep it until I die or until it is stupid valuable for some reason.

The guy I bought it from(retired old guy) bought it new, owned it for two years, put 9k miles on it, and when I saw it the first time, it was stored on jack stands. It had never seen rain, snow or salt at all. He believed the car would be a collectors item because it was the first collaboration between Mitsu(Jap company) and Chrysler(US company). His wife said F that I want a Caddy that she would actually drive..

So it's a salt free, winter free car that I've modded the sh*t out of.
