I tried to find out what number out of 1500 mine was. I called mazda..they were real helpful..but unfortunately they said after 10 years they do not have that information any more. they did tell me it was definately a 10th AE though. What Josepi was saying...i dont know if that would work or not. It seems possible but like he was saying you woud have to know what the vin number for the 1st and the 1500th.
well
later
You probably have the best example of an original 10AE in existance. I think you are right in wanting to sell it. The RX-7 is not for every one and if you don't have interest in it, then it needs to go to someone who does. It needs to be taken very good care of and driven very little. I would pay a very good bit of money for that car if I where able too.
Please make sure you sell it to someone that knows what to do with this car.
You should at least go out and drive it a little before you sell it. Who knows, you may not be selling it after you drive it.

Put the car in the Dupont Registry (its a magazine) not sure if you are familiar...
You should be able to get a good amount of money on the car (personally I think its disrespectfull of you selling a car your father passed on to you) .... Then again im Italian, and speaking loudly to my dad is concidered "a major sin"
I bet the guy wants to sell the rx7 and purchase a Pontiac Firebird or a Mustang .....
i also own 88 anniv. ed. i truly love this car and i get looks everywhere i go... even the key is sweet... if you can afford to keep it, i would recommend that you do... and trust me, it will grow on you... but if you decide to sell it, i would ask 15k+.. i've seen a 10th anniv. ed. w/ 30k miles for 15K, so definitely more than that and the buyer would definitely appreciate it at that price... and i would also definitely look into advertizing in the dupont registery.. it is THE magazine for those with $$$$$(collectors).... you would get the top money in that mag. for your info, i bought mine with 110k mi with new motor(20k) for 5k... it's a really rare car... i wish mine was as new as yours....

Anyways I wanna abuse my car to a point
LOL!!!! THEN GIVE IT TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Again, I appreciate all the pertinent advice out there. But the bottom line is that the car has to be sold.
I have driven the car, first way back when I was in college and most recently as a husband/father (yikes). It is a sweet car. And some day, I may regret getting rid of it, but such is life.
Thanks to the advice here, I am going to really focus my efforts on somebody who is a collector or who can appreciate this car as a collector's item (I cannot believe how many $5K e-mail offers I have received).
If somebody out there is really serious and wants to consider this vehicle, send me a private message.
I will have a bunch of digital pics early next week, when I can get a hold of a camera.
4 years ago we bought one with 17k original miles on it for 10k. It had a few small dings. Now it has 45,000 and all the dings are fixed. I wouldn't sell mine for less then 8-9k with the rims.
Your father left it to you, as in he's no longer of this world? I would hold onto that and keep it in the family for as long as possible. Seriously. It's a great car. Drive it around in the summers, keep it well maintaned, and just make room for it. Seriously, don't sell it.
Zomg, I have been looking for a car like this. I just need your help transfering money from my Nigerian bank account. If you can halp me I would gladly pay double your asking price.
Do they not teach you to read at that school of yours?
Or spell?

Oh, I have several cars just like that for sale. I am the adopted son of John Bowers, who has just died and left an estate worth $411 million. Prior to his death, Mr. Bowers, a devout rotary engine enthusiast, had instructed me to sell his collection of RX-7's to members of this forum for $1,000 each, the price of taxes and licensing. However, they can't be delivered until the estate clears probate court, and the VIN numbers can't be released due to a gag order imposed by the probate judge. My sales staff is now taking orders for these miracle cars, so send in your money now before the cars are all gone!
Was thinking about selling mine but have no clue what to ask. Sorry to reply to such an old thread, but only one I seen that was applicable. Details below, TIA. Paul
1988 RX7 Turbo 2, 10th Anniversary edition. Rare car as there were only 1500 made. Ultra rare 2+2 edition. 82k original miles.
Found on the side of the road for sale a few years ago. Owner said it was his grand kids, and needed a new engine. Had the engine rebuild by Venom Racing in Fort Wayne, IN. Has under 1200 miles on the rebuild, just don’t have time/money/energy to put into her anymore. Good base that has a lot of potential.
Engine Externals: Turbo rebuilt to stock, some of the emissions removed such as air pump, converted to premix, full Borla downpipe & exhaust, larger radiator with electric fan/thermostat.
Brakes: All new OEM master, booster, calipers, pads & rotors.
Body: Paint peeling, some rust on rear wheel well, spoiler cracked.
Otherwise the car is really clean, fully stock, but could use a paint job. Lots of spares including brakes, FMIC, S5 alternator, gages/gage pod.
