Those were quickly sold, but I think, in general, the prices are going down as people start to realise they are overpaying for these cars. That doesn't mean a well-built/tuned or a mint car can't fetch a premium. I'm referring to the far-from-perfect cars that were also insanely priced.

I agree, it's starting to get more "normal" as anyone should realize that a rustbucket is, almost, always too expensive. To turn a neglected AE86 into a good looking, solid car can easily cost you 15k in parts and labor.

The rusty black car on marktplaats was sold recently for ~4k instead of the 7,5k asking price. Basically the value in parts of the driveline. Which is reasonable in my opinion.

I think a mint LHD car can still do 20k, but it requires the right buyer. Anything that needs a lot of work should be <5k. If you're after big money you need to have a excellent RHD UK spec or the Inital D Trueno.
