Hi everyone...

My Uncle has a 83 RX-7 manual transmission with only 40,000 original miles one the car. The car is always garage keep and he bearly drives. He is planning to sell the car since he don't really drives.

He is wondering how much can he sell the car for?? The car still has original motor and the paint are great because the car stay in the garage most of the time

Can anyone give me some idea..

Thanks!

A lot, but buyers will be rare. I'm thinking $4000+, what does everyone else think?

4k might be pushing it. It would really depend on the buyer and the situation. But it is possible, especially becase of the low miles.

If you can find the right buyer 4k is possible, but I would think 3.5k wouldn't be too hard to get out of it.

the question is..how much will someone pay for it.Its worth more than 4k to me but as we all know i wont pay that..id say ask him how much its worth to him and help a 7 lover out

The majority of the members here would hold that car in fairly high regard and would not let it go for cheap. If the car were mine I would want at least $4,000, if not more. On the other hand you should take Stepdaddy's advice and find out how much it is worth to you.

Good luck, post some pics.

Low mileage cars can be nightmares. We have talked about this numerous times.

Mine had 80K. It was babied too much (massive carbon lock). I got it for free and the engine was SHOT.

Yea, low mileage isn't always a good thing. I personally would never pay more than 2k for any first gen, and even that is pushing it. If you can find someone willing to pay a lot for it then take the money and run.

Thank you guys for all the comments. I just talk to my uncle and he will think about it because he might decide keep the car for a while but who knows... He already have too many car in the house.

I will post the picture when I get a chance!

Sorry to tell you this but... Finding a buyer to pay top dollar will be very hard. I have had hard time finding anyone willing to pay to dollar for my 1983 RX-7 with only 11,000 one owner miles. Had an offer at $4,800 and I should have jumped at it.

As far as fear of low milage cars goes.. of course this totally depends on how the car was taken car of and stored. Thy can be trouble. Mine was babied.

here we go again...I agree with what most have said...rotaries hate to sit and it is a good chance someone may have to put some bucks into it because it did sit...you just don't know until it is driven for a while...If I got it, first thing would be all fluids to be changes and MMO treatment...as for value?? does it have leather seats, paint condition should be real good...just too hard to say with info. you gave. Is it a gsl?? all these things matter...I would not venture a guess, but with that miles, the physical condition should be real nice...engine??? who knows....no guess on value here...all too vague...cjf
