[...] which totals one pretty expensive BFMR when you think about it – but like I mentioned in my Starion post from last week, it would be the ideal car to own from a collector’s point of view compared to [...]

Indeed.

Unfortunately when it comes to putting money where mouths are, sadly, hardly anyone wants to jump. At this rate Mark has a fairly good chance of scoring that DR30 – there have been bigger offers than his, but no actual fronting up.

And if I had a say in who the car goes to, I’d prefer it went to him because he’d probably look after it.

Skylines aren’t worth much. DR30 Sedans can be had for a pittance!

Seriously.

the Starions to hold their value here are the NZ-new EX or truly rare ESiR models, or the very small handful of widebodies here in NZ (either Jap or UK import). Last widebody I saw for sale was for $16k in 2004 and I haven’t seen a complete one sell since, other than a rusty one in parts which was dereg which even that sold for over $3500. Most of the Starions on our roads are the lesser spec jap import GSR, GSR-II or GSR-IIIs so quite understandably they aren’t worth a great deal. It’s like comparing a four door L20 powered R30 to a DR30 coupe and saying Skylines aren’t worth much cause the four doors sell for peanuts.
