^ what he said. I've seen a few classics sell for 5k bone stock with 80k on them but that is pretty much unheard of. Your normal going rate is 2k for a clean one now. I think they may just fade out unfortunately. The 510 was at collector status at 25yrs old. The b13 is still junk status at 23yrs old. It's pretty sad that it's almost impossible for most people to pay over 3k for an SE-R in any condition modded or stock. I mean, look at the classifieds section. There's one for sale now that's listed for 2750 and no one is biting because it's "too expensive" yet people pay over 3k for a stock civic with a d16 motor just because the civic "has more potential". Pathetic argument since you need to do an engine swap to even get close to SE-R capability. Absolutely blows my mind how cheap our community is and that will be the factor preventing value increase. A car is only worth what people pay for it. Not what KBB says, not what NADA says, not what MSN Auto says.

A major factor hurting value increase is the FWD platform. I know of only a few FWD cars that are valuable. Integra GS-R and Type-R, CRX Si, Shelby GLH. That's about it. Even the first and second generation GTIs aren't valued at much. Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's worth anything. The 510 wasn't that rare when it was made. The SE-R was, but that only hurts it I think.

I don't see an SE-R selling for more than $10,000 ever regardless of condition or modifications. The most valuable SE-R I know of now is probably that one that was found at the dealership and the kid "fixed" it up. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2408736/1992-nissan-sentra/ . Tough to say what it's worth since there is nothing to compare it to really. Maybe we could ask him if he's got any offers on it.

I wonder who played around with the ECU in that Sentra since the cover plates are gone, lots of little bits and pieces are missing. If that is true, it's kinda neat. But surely not original paint anymore!

has anyone looked up book value from NADA lately, i think they have gone up, clean retail is 5300 for an SE-R, which i would say is pretty good considering.

A depressing prospect. Sounds like I'll have to find a mint-condition, red B13 SE-R and keep in a barn at a country place that no one knows about. I'll keep it there for fifty-odd years, and I'll let my nephew come out on Sundays to drive it around.

Actually its tough to say b/c we only know 1 of 2 things:

1) The supply will extremely low by the year 2034. Barring the Gov't forcing cars that use petroleum based fuels off the road or something or to be crushed etc - who knows, cash for clunkers was a good start.. ridiculous

2) And that leads us to not knowing what the demand, if any at all, will be for them.

so roughly adjusting for Inflation, yep I could see them going for $20,000+ assuming, like you guys mentioned, if they are legal

I have seen that. NADA is always skyhigh though. And plus that's retail value. It says average retail is 3200 which is still high.

NA Miata's have always had great resale value *much better than the b13

The bottom line is there will be much less demand for a b13 vs an NA miata (even 20 years from now)

I suspect the oddball collector might pay $20k for a perfect unmolested, unrestored example but how many 100% bone stock SE-Rs are left out there (if any)?

Then again, if inflation continues to skyrocket, $20k 20 years from now might be like $2000 today (hahahahaha)

^ technically still not 'bone stock' I've watched plenty of shows that talk about 'stock and it all matters (down to the darn tires in some cases like with an old Ferrari)
