im my personal opinion, I probably wouldent pay over $15k for it. Rotaries do not like to sit for long periods of time. I would rather buy a higher mileage car with a new engine. I would hate to see the carbon build up in that engine.
but that is my .02

xxxx miles, 80% highway miles. owned by wealthy elderly woman. only taken out on sundays. always garaged. never seen rain or snow. 0-60 in xxx seconds, turbos pull very hard, accelerates very well, but never raced.
LOL...yea. sure.

I actually just purchased an identical car (minus the touring package) and it had 32k miles on it. paid 19 for it, but considdering the condition and my desire to have one, i feel its worth ever last penny. just make sure you check everything out before you do the buying, the tiny little things can add up fast... remember if its only gone 25k in 10 years, that means it wasn't driven very often (2.5k a year), probably didn't have the oil changed but once a year, check for dirt in places it shouldn't be if it were garaged... yadda yadda... my 2 cents

20 bucks says that's a lie lol. Sounds like the typical add for an FD:

I bought my '94 w/ 23K original miles last year from just such a person - an older, wealthy woman with the car being everything you described above - literally! Car was pampered, garaged, and looked like new, inside and out. She had all documentation on it including the original sticker and invoice. These kind of cars are out there. Waiting for one to show up for sale (and locally) is the hard part. In my case, 8 months.
RX7UP: IMO, the car is worth $18K minimum. If you can get it for less, that would be a steal.

In comparison, I bought my bone stock 93 VR R-1 5spd with 35k miles on it almost 5 years ago and paid 21k for it. It was in immaculate condition inside and out. I got it from a dealership in the Chicago area. It was a local trade in, one owner older guy, and had almost all the paperwork with it.

KBB.com has it priced at 14,500...so here is how you figure its real value.
to start with a base add $4,000 to Kbb's price=18,500
Subtract $1,000 for montego puke paint =17,500
Add $500 for a black interior
subtract $500 for a tan interior
Add $1500 if its a 5 speed
subtract $1500 if its an auto.
when you do that, you will get the price.

I got my Stock VR 93 R-1 for $16,500 with 26k miles last year. The car looks and smell new inside and out with no mechanical problem since i owned it. The only thing it need to be changed is the shock absorber, the seal inside the shock are pretty much degraded after 11 years.

At least 18k if the car is really as you described. The thing is, most, like 95%, have major problems like oil leaks or boost problems that need addressing. Its not a big deal but it still costs money. At such a low mileage, with a new interior and paint, and free of such problems, you are in an elite group of RX-7s and that deserves a large premium, imho. Ironically, my car was also owned by a wealthy older lady too, although she didn't drive it like a granny. I remember her remarking how it was a wonderful "feature" having the redline buzzer. Only had 36k miles when I got it though, and very well cared for, but not as pristine as this one sounds.

i dont think you should buy it - what was her number?
I paid 14k for mine (93 with 31k original miles) from a lovely woman whose husband died (it was his car). If she is rich and in Beverly Hills she isnt in it for the dough. I would try forming a relationship with her - it may save you some cash. I even send this woman holiday cards and send her letters every now and again.
I would say 15-16k. The market for FD's seems to be shrinking also - the demand isnt as high now that the Fast and Furious stigma is wearing off.
If you form that relationship, maybe you could even get it for 14.

Speedking...dont get me wrong. If you caught one of those rare actual real deals... madd props 2 ya. I'm real happy for ya.
But most of the ads I see really get to me... you can tell they're pure bull. Check out ebay and autotrader for a few laughs...
But hey...good things come to those who wait. I'm sure you see the 8 months as well worth it =)
