How to value your FD

Just need to spend sometime putting the BAT summaries into a spread sheet and run different classes. I think it will really show mileage as a large determinant.
I did that before with the info from the database that was being run on here. Definitely a dip at the mid-mileage range, but interestingly a tick up for some very high mileage cars that had heavy mods.
There were likely a lot more trashed cars in that database.

Acknowledging it is dangerous to make decisions based on a limited set of data, or the illusion that you have sufficient data. Nonetheless, the BAT data is probably the best and most immediate data we have to deal with.
In the following table ,the orange line (roughly) intersects the second best price in a relatively close period. The white line, the second worse. This would perhaps eliminate outliers on the upside and the downside.
It looks like there may indeed have been some irrational exuberance a few months back, but there looks to be decent support around $40,000.

$40k is what I found was a reasonble midpoint in my searches these past 6 months while looking to purchase. That was looking for something that wasn't crazy low miles, possible had some mods and the standard colors like red, MB or black. I found prices seriously swung when it came to CW cars (which was my first choice in color) confirmed low mileage and bone stock. You can find a really nice car between $40k-$50k if you don't mind red and some mods. I lost out on two cars by hours at a little over $40k so you have to be quick.

On cue:

$40k for a very decent-looking FD with 64k miles.
The heady days of a few months ago have definitely disappeared.

So if someone was to put together a program to corelate the, say 10, key factors in persons buying decisions what would they be?
Then the chore would be to go through the BAT postings and plug in data.
Buyers location, age, background, education,, wealth, hours playing video games, number of Initial D posters, married, with or without children, garage space, etc., would be difficult data to get, but likely important determinants.
There was a survey on here of age brackets of FD owners. It was very informative.
It would be interesting to do a "then and now" comparison.

Does somebody know how to a set one of these up again?

Says at the intro of that poll that a similar survey in 2001 put over half the owners as under 30.
I would suspect the "over 40" segment would be much higher now.
We need 50+ and 65+ categories.
Interesting that the 2001 poll had 1000 respondents. The 2017 poll had 260.
Would we get 100 responses today?

Not too large of a chore. I already have a tracking spreadsheet which pulls in data from all RX7 BAT listings. I'm looking to sell my 94 Montego Blue LHD 48k miles and have been trying to figure out a reasonable price. Lots of good web scraping formulas you can add to google sheets.

Ok, I guess if I'm gonna ask, might as well ask big:
A regression with Selling Price as the Dependent Variable and the Independent Variable:
A regression with Selling Price as the Dependent Variable and the Independent Variable:
- Year
- Mileage
- Manual / Auto
- RHD or LHD
- Compression listed or not
- Exterior color
- Interior color
- Special Trims (e.g. R1, R2, Type-R, RZ Bathhurst, Spirit-R, et)
