What does the board think a GTUs with a blown motor is worth went and looked at car yesterday is black with a roll bar in it guy wants 3000.00 but i think 2500.00 would get it since i understand it the rarest 2nd gen built ..

thanks rx7 10th anniv

Does the guy know how few were made? How is the rest of the car? I'm assuming he raced it since it has a rollbar, has it ever been wrecked?

IMHO, you can't complain too much for a $2500 car considering so few were made. If the rest of the car is in pretty fair shape for the mileage (and no wreck), offer him $2000 and go up if you have to.

I don't suppose it's in Wisconsin......is it??

Hello Greg

I didnt get to talk to the guy just went and checked the car out looks as if it all orig except for the rollbar paint even looks orginal i understand he paid 5000 a while back for the car and he does know how rare the car is but its been off of the road for alittle over a year i might see if i can trade him a mercedes 300turbo diesel i have . I just recently got me a 8810thanniv got it for a deal 900.00 so if i could get the gtus i would have two super cool and rare mazdas what do ya think .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am in N.C.

Well, to have a 10th and a GTUs.... That would be sweeeet! Hella Sweeet!!

I thought of one more thing, check the year also. I don't have the numbers handy, but I recall someone else posting that there were more 90s made than 89s or something like that. Either way, I think the numbers were only a few hundred total for both years.

I'd have to do some digging, I may have the answer. I know I've seen it mentioned here though...

Tell him the junkyard will take the car for $50 if he can tow it there himself, then offer him $500.

there were 1000 '89 GTUs and no '90 officially; although exactly 100 rolled off the line.

Sounds high to me.Blue book is barely more if it was running and in perfect condition.When I got rear ended a year ago the ins. co. totalled mine because of estimated cost of repairs.All they would give me for it was $3200(or book value) or I keep the car and $2300.I choose the latter and a friend with a bodyshopgave me a good deal on fixxing it.Anyway my point is even with the rarity of the car I think $2500 is a bit too much.$1000 is probably the most I would pay 'cause you're looking at $1500 to $2500 for another motor to get it running.All this is just my opinion though.

Yeah, I've always thought the GTUs was collectible for its own sake; but its not like they demand way more money than the others. I can see a '90 in collectible condition bringing a good price, like a 10th Anniv.. Probably never will gain as much value as the 1st gens will. Mazda saturated the market with too many models of FC; kinda thinned the blood out.

Yo,



Well, I paid about 5900 for mine about 2 years ago, but it's in mint condition. About what to pay for a non-running one, $2500 seems somewhat steep. How many miles on the chassis? Condition of the seats, etc.

Not more than $1500-$2000 for a FC with a blown motor.

If it is not a AE or GTUs not more than $1200.
