The way it is trending right now, it will be a very high mileage RCF in the next few years to get into the 30s CAD. The ISF prices are certainly like that where 100+K KM ISFs only dip into the 20s CAD or in the teens.
According to my market research, used 2015 - 2016 RCFs with low mileages (below 20K KM) are going in the 60s CAD. The 2017+ asking prices are higher with low mileage. The ones that have 40K to 50K KM are going for around miid to high 50s CAD on the average. There are couple I saw with higher mileage ones in Ontario that are in the high-40s, but they have much higher than 50K KM. This also does not take into account their condition, maintenance, wear and tear etc. that also affects pricing.
There are some available in the east so there is better pricing, but here in Alberta, there are none for sale simply because of the rarity.

Yeah. I was only talking about the local market as it is the one I can understand the best. It was response to him talking in CAD. In the US, everything is completely different. We have a fraction of the inventory you have in the US. Also, where I live, I have never seen another RCF on the road. I see an ISF every once in a while, but never seen another RCF.

Have you considered the ISFs? it is a great car with everything going for it. It has held up very well and proven itself. Around 100K KM ISFs are in the high-20s to low-30s. Like this clean example in Burnaby. RCF is really a conceptual evolution of ISF with 10 - 12% incremental improvements rather than a revolution. Certainly the price gap is bigger than the difference between the cars.

True, but the ISF has something going for it the RCF doesn't, there are only 2-10 for sale period in the entire US at any given time, kind of a rareity akin to an NSX, RCF used market is getting a fresh pump of off lease cars now from 2016, that will happen next year for off-lease 2017, etc. etc. etc. There is a big gap in rare-ity on the used car market between and ISF and RCF. Not sure if they manufactured more of the RCF now than ISF or people just hoard the ISF, but I am sure someone here can answer the manufacturing question.
Edit: here are the numbers for your curiosity

Also, to mention, generally cars like GSF, ISF or RCF are only spring/summer driven here so they don't have salt, rust etc. issues as they get into high mileage. Also, they have lower than usual mileage for their age. That is why cars especially from the west are sought after where there are rust issues due to dry weather.
