Oh, and the "been garaged for almost 14 years.... that always scares me when someone says a rotary has been garaged for more than 2 years.... did they ever start the engine up in that time span?

well, the fact that I have service records all the way back to the day the car left the showroom, and all drivetrain numbers still match on the car, really, really helps.
And with all the mods I still have the original parts that came off the car, plus both sunroofs with the factory vinyl bag, all the electrics work, the car came with the factory owners' and repair manual, there's zero rust (a west coast car for the past 17 years), not a single rip or scuff in the interior, factory floormats, new paint & clearcoat matching Mazda's factory black metallic, etc. etc.
The appraisal is in canuck bucks, but that's still about $14,000 USD

Well I think you'd be VERY hard-pressed to get $14,000 USD for it on the open market. Hmmm..... but.... you could wreck it and buy a small fleet of other 'very fine' 1st Gens with the proceeds.

looks just like one i saw around here last week, except that one had 75k miles on it. and the guy was asking $5000! WTF!? not even a single mod on it. sheesh! maybe i should sell mine for $10000. i mean it's modded and everything! then i could buy 4 or 5 nice 1st gens and do it all over! yay! who needs a day job when you can rip people off on 1st gens all the time?
