Default I guess they are thinking the racing history has value.

I hope they get their price, but IMO that is "all the money" for a cut up car (arguments please). Personally, I would think a stock original '85 would be worth more. But that's just me I guess...

Default Race history is fickle

If it was raced by a really big name person, it can jack the price up considerably. But if it is a no-name racer, then it can actually lower the value.

Whether it's one or the other is a big matter of opinion.

That car's perpetually for sale. It's not sold at all because they want so much money for it.

Default I agree. So WHO drove it anyway? If it were Paul Newman or Gene Hackman, maybe that would help.

To me, that is just a cut up '85 track car that looks nice. I would think market value would be $10-$13k, if you could find someone to spend that much on a track car.

Default As a matter of fact, there was a PLN car on ebay a few weeks ago...

It was a Newman/Sharp Datsun 510, that he had won a championship with. The seller had complete documentatin on the car (log books, etc.), and the price for the car was comensurate with that provenance. THAT would be a car worth paying big money for. This UrQ though, as you said, is nothing more than a used race car and one that can't even operate well on normal gas.

Default I'm not negative at all

I just made a point that the value of a used race car is VERY subjective.

Default I agree, I think its a pretty cool car.

Its still pretty much a street car.
And many people buy urquattros specifically for track events and DEs.
