    89 Speedster: please explain this value........

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1989-...#ht_500wt_1182

    Love these cars but can not understand this value. Nonetheless, impressive usage.

    Only a little over 800 US Speedsters. Low numbers but this is a VERY high mileage example. IMHO not worth over $30K. Wish I still had mine. Recently saw it advertised at Victory for quite a bit more than I sold it for. Low mileage examples are a good solid investment.

    I've NEVER been a fan of these cars, just my particular taste, never liked 'em. So i REALLY don't see the value in this one....

    Nothing that unusual here. They have always been on the high side. Look for them to get even higher is the coming decade.

    Interesting...I just saw this car around the corner from my house with a sign on it for $62k about three weeks ago. I loved seeing it driven daliy for the last 15 years that I've known it, but wow 236k miles! Excellent to know they go the distance, this could hold the all time mileage record for one of these as the years go on.

    I just bought a nice one last week, $56k with 17k miles. But I gotta sell a couple cars now.

    I would have thought this car was worth less than $30. Good luck w/ new car.

    I'm not sure that I would call the 94 Speedster a superior car to the 89 3.2. Speedster. You've got to love the clean bubble look of the rear with the top down but I actually thought mine looked better with the top up. It had that low slung raked look. The M491 Cab. certainly represents a better value but hey, it's NOT a SPEEDSTER!
    Here is a Christmas photo of mine.
