clean car..but damn on the price....so clean!

 

I couldn't find the 2007 ad, but I did find an old posting of mine discussing that car, and the seller at the time claimed it had 6700 miles. I wonder if it ever sold, and for how much.

 

I'd pay upwards of $12,000 for it, but $30,000 is way out of the park. Maybe in 20 more years.

 

As a 10AE owner, I love seeing this, makes me feel that one day my car will be a rare sought after car even though in reality it is just a T2 with white wheels, and some special badging.

I recently looked at an 87 t2 with 9600 original miles, one owner and he was asking 15000. I was really tempted to pick it up, but found my 10AE instead.

Good luck to the seller, if I had 30000, I would be interested in it!

 

i think that the car is worth a good deal of money. i also think that if a serious buyer were to come with cash in hand, some negotiating could be done. i wouldn't expect any more than 5K off of the price. this is a true collector's car. the car is a survivor of 22 years and the mileage is nearly equal than that of the 2010 Toyota Sienna i bought for my wife. the car is amazing and deserves to go to an RX-7 collector. the reason i feel that this car is worth more than 20K is because there probably isn't another 10AE out ther with that low of mileage and in that nice of condition. never again will you be able to buy a nearly new 10AE..this is about as close as it gets and if i had the cash and i felt my 10AE needed another 10AE companion, i'd buy the car in a heartbeat.

 

I sort of agree with you on this, except that for as rare as this car is in this condition, I don't know how many buyers today appreciate the car enough to part with $25K or more. I do hope the seller finds the right buyer.

 

I agree with both mazdaverx713b and daviddeeps statements.

It may not be worth 30K now and I would negotiate a price.

It will be worth more than 30K at some time if it is kept in this condition.

A buyer will come along. I am in no hurry to sell it and I may try to win more awards with it whenever I can.

 

I wonder if you wouldn't do better consigning this car to a high profile collector auction. Or what about running ads in a collector car publication like "Hemmings Motor News?" I'd love to see the FC start to be recognized as a significant collector car of the 1980s. I'm sure that day is not far off at all.

 

Rick, i wish i could buy that car from you...its been a dream car of mine since Johny owned it and i hate to see you sell it.

 

I'm sure I'll have it for awhile, so it's here if you ever want to make an offer. I can't see it not being at a high value in the future. It's a work of art. Not too much compares to its beauty. The original paint is flawless. Not one rock chip or ding. Actually the whole car is flawless. except for the cassette player doesn't work or the one tape I tried was bad.

 

May just need a belt replacement; after all these years they've probably hardened and/or broken. The biggest risk would be cracking the radio bezel taking apart the dash to get it out. Probably best to just let it be.

 

I'm guessing this car is white w/ red interior and is currently living in Washington?

 

makes me not want to sell either of my 10ae's and makes me want to restore my other one when my mint one is perfect lol

 

might not have much collector value to someone outside of the FC crowd.

 

Awesome condition for sure.

As for the price. Its more for the collector.

30 k is a lot . But there some crazies out there

 

Honestly... if I had the money I would buy it. But then I would regrettably only park it somewhere. What a shame to have such a nice car that has been well preserved, but not have the oppurtunity to enjoy driving it with fear of destroying it's untouched beauty.

 

Somebody get Jay Leno on the phone!!!

Seriously though, anyone buying it is doing it as an investment so it's not so much about how much the car is worth now.

 

hella clean

 

i think its worth it....your not going to see something like that all the time and super clean like show room floor clean with only 8 thousand miles thats a collector

 

I dont ever remember even trying a tape. it was too much fun just being in her..... who knows maybe Ill get her back from you.... I know she is well cared for.

Concours winner, nuff said.

Original msrp for our cars was over 18,000 in the late 80's and early 90s. You are pretty much buying a new car, so I can see the high price, not to mention the collectors value.

I agree that there probably won't be a buyer soon and the price might not completely reflect the market, but I think it will be worth this much soon. Most who would shell out this much cash would purchase as an investment anyways.

Ever had some good photos taken of the car? I'm located in Cinci and willing to lend my services.

 

I should add obo

 

18,000? Tha A.E. have now "princess" cost 28,000 new. that was in cali.

 

Lets do math, and factor in inflation. Here we go...

1988 MSRP Prices vs 2010 Inflation Prices

1. SE $16,150 / $28,912
2. SE 2+2 $16,650 / $29,808
3. GTU $18,150 / $32,493
4. GXL $20,050 / $35,895
5. GXL 2+2 $20,550 / $36,790
6. Turbo $22,750 / $40,728
7. Vert $24,050 / $43,056

The asking price doesn’t seam that outrageous when you think about it and do the math.

Me personally, I would never pay $30,000 for it, but if it were $20k I'd have it in my car collection.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

 

^ Exactly

It was just a general number. I knew that was the price of my SE in 1988 so I figured I'd start there.
