Wish upon a star - new Rx-7
How many of you would go out to a dealer and buy a new FD these days if you could get them for what they sold for back in 93-94? What was it about $32k?

I would do it again.
I purchased my FD 12 years ago. MSRP was $41,355.00 for the touring model. Discounted, I paid $36.5K plus tax & license.
Also, I got my FC in 1988 for $13.5K with the SC package.

Even thoug i remember back on 93 when I walked into a Mazda dealer and saw my first FD. It was siitng there inside the showroom floor with an aura around it. It was a White one, touring model. I fell in love that day.
But I would take a CYM.
that would be like buying a 911 turbo and putting a EVO engine in it.

Presicely. The premise of the thread starter question is flawed. It would be like asking would you have bought a brand new FD in '93 for $25,000 ?
The truth is, due to exchange rates and other factors, the cars were overpriced for their market segment when new, which is a major reason why they failed.
As to the $40,000 mark, it's true. Mine listed for over $40,000 in 1995, but RX-7's weren't selling, so anyone who bought one without a deep discount was a fool. I got $5,000 off on mine. I see another poster did the same. Now you know the true market value of the car back in '94 - '95.

Ummmm.....as much as we all love the FD....I seriously doubt any of us would buy it for that money.

http://www.westegg.com/inflation <---- uses the Consumer Price Index to calculate inflation.
That's with the discounts. It's about the cost of a C6 today. The sticker price posted on the first page, in today's dollars, is $52758. So in today's terms, an FD cost somewhere between a C6 and maybe a fully loaded Boxster S.
What cost $36500 in 1994 would cost $46592.91 in 2005.
Also, if you were to buy exactly the same products in 2005 and 1994,
they would cost you $36500 and $28593.40 respectively.
