What do you think this 1999 is worth

What is the mileage? Daytona seats and factory shields?

 

75K at retail if it is a prime example, although maybe a couple K less because the clutch is already more than half gone. I am a firm believer a well sorted red/tan car should command a premium. I am bias though

 

For a well sorted car, I'd say 80K assuming the belts are truly new. 300 miles could mean last month or 3 years ago.

 

I think that ^^^^ is a good target. I would say a great buy if the clutch wasn't so far gone. There have been some notes in here that the readings aren't always spot on either so are you really at 35% remaining? I do not know the validity of the error claims though. Do check and verify on the timing of the last belts/tensioners because that will set you back a bit if coming up on 3 years.

 

I think you are about on target. How are the tires? I think if you can get it around 70 you did pretty good. That's assuming everything is good.

I got my 00 yellow with black interior, shields, power daytona seats, F1 17,900 miles, new tires, new belt change and clutch at 65% remaining for $73,200. All campaigns were performed. Service history was good but not perfect.

 

Don't take this question as me trying to find a problem - I am also learning what to look for when shopping for these cars.

Do you need to worry about the variators on that year car, and be assured that they have been upgraded?

Also, I see this a lot. They do the "30K service" at a mileage interval far lower than 30K miles -- is this unusual or do owners simply cut the factory recommended interval in half out of caution?

 

Yes you need to verify variators are done.

 

I'd say based on mileage and clutch and brake wear around $70k $72k as a private sale. Dealer would likely charge upward of $77k. If you have verified all service history with the dealer they should have let you know that all recalls and campaigns had been carried out. IMO the 99 is more desirable because of no pre-cats to cause issues down the road. When you said "programming updates from post 2002 cars" did you mean the TCU as I'm not aware of any other updates. If the TCU then it would have had to be swapped out as the 1999 cannot be updated -- you need to confirm that. Also was the F1 pump replaced because of a sticking relay or some other issues? I would have thought that a 30k (or 3 year service) would have included transmission oil change, coolant change and power steering fluid change -- that was done at my last major service that included engine oil and filter as well as brake fluid flush.

That's probably nearer the mark. That's in the range of what I paid for mine but it did have the major (and I mean major) and a new clutch but higher mileage. A new clutch in a few years is going to be a big expense.

I sold a really nice yellow/black f1, 15k miles, new belts, needing a clutch for $65. The clutch runs around $7k

It's a bit of an odd market. The dealers usually hit sellers around the $50k mark and then they ask $75. Granted they generally have a high overhead, recondition the car, etc. Right in the middle is $6x,xxx

I've seen the red get a bit of premium over the yellow's. That's one reason I bought a yellow.

 

Congrats ! Love the seat piping -
Enjoy it now, summer is here, like you said, you could spend months looking,
and now you are enjoying, not looking....

 

Love that interior. I think you paid a premium but for the mileage, condition, optional extras such as red caliper and the Challenge grille, as well as the full history with all the keys, fobs, codes, and trunk items you got a great car.

Way to go!
