You maybe can replace a 40,000 mile kouki with two at 160,000 miles. But is a brand new 0 mile kouki worth three at 190,000 miles? I would rather have the one with 0 miles.
So my prices seem a bit low when you consider rarity.

While I agree with your thought process, because this is a rare situation for this car, by no means does this mean you should expect to see someone pay that much for it. Your values above make sense in theory, but in reality there's a cutoff. This car isn't a classic (in the sense that it's value grows exponentially) so really once you hit the $8500-9500 dollar value, you will pretty much lose all potential buyers. Would someone want three 190k mi koukis over one with 0 miles? the answer is yes, yes, yes. It's awesome that a car like this exists and in my opinion you should keep it because you'll treat the car with the respect and care it deserves. But your asking price is too high for 100% of buyers on this site and you are going to get that said to you over and over again.
All of that said, I have seen the zenki you have for sale and think you have that one moderately priced because you've replaced/repaired a majority of the parts on it. I just think you expect too much from people on this forum, because most of these kids aren't willing to pay $7k for a kouki that's in perfect condition, much less this one. Keep it, treasure it, and show it off every chance you get!
