Price history

Today $31,500 · modelled median at five years $43,279
Solid line: the value this library has carriedDashed from 2026: modelled · even money $37,912 to $49,707
The green band is the even-money range and the one to plan on: half of outcomes land inside it. The pale band behind it bounds eight in ten ($33,076 to $55,500). The path is this model's own: it starts along the momentum of its recorded history and bends toward its projected median as the horizon lengthens, so no two cars share a future curve.

The verdict

Strong within its price band. Scores 58/100, ranking 18 of 94 in the $30k to $100k band. Demand durability is the strongest input, liquidity the weakest.
Running it costs about $3,780 a year (12.0% of value), which is what the economics score measures. All in, including the projected value change, it is $1,876 a year.
The model's five year median is $43,279, a +37.4% move, with the tenth percentile at $33,076.

Scored against every recent Australian sale this library holds, half its values land within 11.2 per cent of the price paid and the rest miss by more, in either direction. Projections are therefore damped toward flat in proportion to how little is known, and the plausible band is never narrower than the error the model is known to make.

4 completed Australian sales of 4 rows. Rows marked asking, no sale, or context are shown for honesty but do not count toward the evidence grade: an ask is not a transaction, a pass-in is a refusal, and a provenance or overseas result does not price the ordinary local car. The badge on every row is computed by the same rule as the grade, so the two cannot drift apart.

No forecast is used to compute the hurdle. It is the purchase, the duty, any premium and 5 years of running cost, grossed up for the cost of selling and spread back over the hold. The projection it is measured against is the weakest number in this product and is drawn that way in the chart above. Transport, finance and any restoration spend sit outside it.

The case for and against

The case for

Regarded as the benchmark FWD driver's car and values have nearly doubled since 2016. The B18C is durable and cheap to maintain relative to turbo rivals, and Championship White cars in original spec are getting hard to find.

The case against

Half the recent Australian auction attempts on this model failed to sell, and one of the failures was a car below the distance this record expects. A high proportion of the surviving 1,350 cars have been modified or driven hard, so genuine unmolested examples are a small subset commanding a large premium over the average. The four transactions behind this figure are aggregator-sourced and unconfirmed against the auction house, which is the weakest evidence grade in this library.

Australian evidence, and the sample is smaller than it looks

The aggregator lists six Australian sold results for this model. Two of them do not belong in a DC2 average and removing them changes the picture.

Read the rest of the evidence notes (7 more)
The $15,338 car is a DB8,

Which is the four-door Type R - a different bodyshell, a different market and a materially cheaper car. It was dragging the bottom of the stated range.

And two of the remaining five are one car

A 1996 car at 114,331km in Melbourne sold at $35,000 on 25 February 2022 and again at $35,150 on 4 April 2022. Identical distance, identical city, six weeks apart. That is a relist or a duplicate record, not two transactions, and counting it twice double-weighted the highest result in the set.

The real DC2 sample is four

$35,000 at 114,331km, $34,750 at 107,447km, $33,000 at 164,600km in December 2025, and $28,250 at 237,100km in March 2026.

Those four price the odometer, which nothing else in this record did

They run monotonically against distance, and the two most recent - $33,000 at 164,600km and $28,250 at 237,100km, three months apart - imply about 2.0 per cent per 10,000 kilometres. This record already carried kmPct 1.9 as an assumption. It is now a measured figure, and it is the only entry in the Japanese section of this library where that is true.

The clearance rate is the bad news and it was missing entirely

Alongside those sales sit four Australian no-sales: a 2000 DC2 at 128,416km in Melbourne, May 2026; a 2001 DC2 at 214,870km in Queensland, February 2026; a 1999 DB8 at 93,495km, February 2026; and a 1996 car at 51,000km in Sydney, June 2023. Half the Australian attempts in this set failed, and the May 2026 no-sale was at BELOW the distance this record expects - a good car that found no buyer. This entry previously scored a liquidity credit for a 44-day time on market and claimed 94 per cent international clearance. The local market is not clearing at anything like that and the score now says so.

Sourcing, stated plainly

These are Collecting Cars lots surfaced through an aggregator. The prices have not been confirmed against the auction house directly, so they remain the weakest evidence grade in this library and any published Shannons, Lloyds or Collecting Cars figure should replace them.

International context

Sixteen lots, fifteen sold. Twelve British results run unconverted from GBP8,748 to GBP20,000 with a median near GBP12,156, while the two American results are US$50,400 and US$56,000 - roughly A$24,000 against A$81,000 for the same car. The Honda S2000 shows almost exactly the same split, so this is a difference between those two markets for Japanese performance cars of the era, not a fact about either model, and it is why a foreign price cannot set an Australian one. A 1996 base Integra at US$27,500 was set aside as not a Type R.
