FK8 Production Nearing End

[wildbilly32]

There will be plenty of low mileage excellent condition R's in the next few years. Hell, probably even mine. Bought it Feb 2019 today it has 2,800 miles. In a couple of years I'll be tired of it or too old to get in or out of it so I'll let it go and since it is just a toy it won't have many miles. Patience. "The waiting is the hardest part."

You make a good point NapalmEnema, certainly. I'll be looking for whoever drove Miss Daisy when the time comes LOL

Well said.

As others have said, there will always be more cars. Man did I want an S2000 back in the mid/lates 2000's, but at the time I knew it wasn't smart to put half my income towards a used car payment. Fast forward 10 years, and I was able to get a brand new CTR and love it. Car's aren't cheap, and buying a new car is one of the easiest ways to waste a ton of money, so making sure you can afford that loss should be you're priority over any other "but it's soo cool".

Mine is no garage queen. I don't work, therefore, don't have the daily commute. I just use the R to run errands around town and for some playtime. I have another toy that I have to share time with so neither get a lot of miles. I drive both like I stole them within reason, of course.

Drive on in good health.

I agree With everyone else. I don’t think you need to worry. It’s not like people are buying these cars and then never going to sell them.

People buy these cars and then they find some thing else that flips their cookie a little bit better and then they trade in. There are used ones out there. The good thing is that the demographic that can afford these cars tend to take care of these cars very well. These aren’t cars that cost like $20,000 and then people beat the daylights out of them and mod the daylights out of them. People tend to take care of these cars and also keep in mind that these are pretty well designed engines so they can take some abuse. If you’re looking for one I would just be wary of any that have been modified.
I’m keeping mine all stock stock because I’m perfectly happy with its performance right now. I don’t think I’m the only one in this category so I think you’ll have some to choose from.

Just judging from all the other collector cars the values will tend to dip a little bit in the first several years and then they will rise so you have a window off time in which you’ll find some that aren’t very expensive. Happens with most cars be it an NSX, Ferrari 308 or a Hemi ‘Cuda, imo.

The nice thing about buying a CTR new is that the total cost of ownership is so low. During ownership, of course you need to pay the monthly payment, etc. (unless you buy outright) which may be a bit steep, but after you go to sell it, it looks like people are only losing $3-5K after 3 years which is pretty ridiculous, so you will recoup a ton of that money. In theory it should be one of the cheapest cars you can own own by the time you get rid of it.

I also bought a “used” 19 CTR AMB with 57 miles. I feel my car even thou used, i felt it was a “new”car, and it was my top color choice.. The CRT has not depreciated very little since it came out 4 years ago therefore making it one of the “cheapest new car “ to own as DEPRECIATION is the biggest cost of owning a new car period. I am an old guy, over 70, and I would much rather look out at my pretty blue CRT In my driveway vs my boring balance of my IRA monthly statements. As I have said in other posts, life is too short to drive boring cars!!

Back in December 2017 when i bought my 2018 CTR, i paid $6,000 over MSRP, and that was considered a "good deal" back then. As the popularity of the platform fades (and it will, eventually), prices will begin to drop. Of course, by then, something else might capture your interest. It is the way in life.

In a similar boat - saving to buy our first house once our lease ends next July. CTR will have to wait until this time next year. I've already been stocking up some small parts, just hope I can find a good deal on a clean, used example. I am absolutely determined to get one, and will rock my FA5 until then.

OP can wait. I think the Nissan 400z comes out next year.

My best advice: get over the 'has to be new" idea and joy awaits. Sooner.
My '18 CTR had 13K miles on it. Perfect condition. CPO with 120,000 mile/8 year full warranty.
$ 35K. In my preferred AB color. Plus a test drive!
Or pay $ 43,000+ for a new '20 CW or SGP. With no test drive. No thank you..
Very happy with my '18. Pretty sure even a $55-65,000 (with markup)Phoenix Yellow LE would not be any more fun for me to live with daily. Maybe even less.
Getting a preowned 10th gen CTR is not settling. Hope you make it happen one of these days.
