How much did you pay for your 2G DSM?

[d1abolic]

I'm trying to get a feel for prices of 2G DSMs, particularly those with turbo engines. The car i'm thinking of getting is a 97-99 Spyder GS-T with under 60K miles. Edmunds' True Value for a 98 is 10.5K dealer / 9K private, but that doesn't tell me much, since i have no idea what the average mileage on a 98 is like. Please use the following template when replying (copy blank one below, i filled the first one in with examples):

FYI,
Kbb and other guides on prices mean nothing to the GSX and the GSTs. GSXs and GSTs guarentee you will find them for MUCH more than KBB is asking. Mainly because of demand and rarity. Same goes with the 93 Supra. KBB with like 60k miles says its worth like 11k, yea right. One with 120k miles 93 NON turbo is worth on resale around 18k. So KBB isnt really good to follow with these types of cars.

Purchased: 2 weeks ago (9/03)
Year / Model: 1997 GST
Mileage: 89,xxx
Dealer / Private: Small local dealer
Mods: Tanabe cat-back, Velox 17's, B&M short shifter, Alpine stereo system, GReddy BOV, Nameless sway bars
Price asked / Paid: asked 10,500... paid 8,500 tax/lisc included.
Note: Dealership I purchased from gets their cars from local repo auctions, so they could not tell me anything about what was on it or what condition it was in. Considering the price I jumped on it... but the car was not without flaw. There are the usual small scratches, but other than that, flawless internally sand externally cosmetically. The only thing I have had to do to it so far, is replace the master/slave cyl for the clutch, hopefully nothing much will need to be done, but I wanna work out the kinks before i get to tuning.

**edit** grammar

P.S. Searched for about 3 months, wasnt much in my area. Was about to go to a dealership and put a down payment on a 3G when i stopped by this little dealership otw. Saw the car sitting in the back and fell in love with it. (thank god.. on 3Gs) Good luck with your search bro
