This car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay. Clearly no one in this thread is actually interested in the car, especially those saying things like "blue book" and "for the mileage" but even still, there will be someone for which this car is perfect, and they might have the personal knowledge that it would take a crap-ton more money to get another BugEye to where this car is.

For all the rest, go to CL and keep looking for those $5-$6k BugEyes, and just dream of one like this because that is as close as it will get. Myself, I bought a "pretty nice" BugEye with 54k miles in 2012, and then spent at least the purchase price of the car over the last two years correcting issues and making things a little nicer. Now, I have gone beyond that with more sensible mods done right (bracing, suspension, replacing wear items that are not worn out). Two years ago, this was a KBB car. Now it's not. Just the way it goes.

I am not saying that it "should be" worth more to you, but what I am saying is that telling me that my car is worth less because of other cars that do not compare to it, does not make a lot of sense. The same goes with this car.

People realize this the first time they actually spend some money on a car, and then try to sell it later. Most people have not had the experience of spending actual money on a car build, and that comes across in threads like this.

The way I look at it, if you are actually interested, make an offer that you feel is sensible. I really have no idea what one thinks to gain by coming in these threads and ignorantly saying that based on no info at all, this price is too high.

But hey, whatever. It happens a lot.

To the OP: GLWS, the car looks wicked.
