How much do you think a true car buff will pay for a 20 year old Dubai used car? A price even higher than its original value. That’s right! CarSwitch.com unveils a surprising figure given for a car made almost two decades ago.
A 1997 Honda Integra Type-R with a mileage of 2,000 kms was in the highlights. It was able to gather a hefty amount of AED 234,000 ($63,800).
Another similar car with a mileage of almost 100,000 kms gathered AED 150,000 ($40,750) shortly afterwards. Surprising, right?
Another ride, a 1999 Honda S2000 with only 1,600 kms gathered a whopping AED 176,400 ($48,000).
A brand new car of this model would have costed less in Dubai, UAE almost 10 years ago.
This car was initially a property of a dealership in United States and for the first 13 years of its life did not get to be in use. In 2013, someone bought this gorgeous S2000 and then listed it for sale in the United States.
This is when it was sold for the amount given above. This little revving roadster is a competition for our current roadsters.
S2000 has retained its high value even though over 110,000 of this Japanese car were in production between the years 1999 to 2009. The more rare it becomes, the higher the price it gets.
Another reason that this ride was able to gather such a huge amount for itself is that it had an excellent condition. After all, it remained unused for almost 13 years.
The above prices depict the love for Japanese sports cars and their increasing popularity.
Also, it’s a desirable ride for those who like manual transmission compared to automatic transmission.
If this car costs that much in United States, it makes us wonder how much money will be the cost of this almost classic ride if it reaches Dubai used car.
This shows that the price for a car with immaculate condition is higher than the rest. This is why CarSwitch.com provides a full 200 point inspection report with every car, making the process more transparent.
