Maybe 1200-1300 depends on the time of year. This is the wrong time of year by the way.

We both know that but in the end..............

FC owners and potential buyers know that they can get a shell for like 500 and then get a rotary resuurection engine for like 2500 thats top nothc. It'll put em at 3k that they know is warrantied............



But what can ya do........I feel ya pain. I have sold a few "monster" trucks in my time. And each time I got nowhere near the value for it just because.......

Asking on this forum will be of little help to you.
The selling prices in BC are much higher than they are in the US.

$4000-$4500 Cdn is a better estimate for your car.
I sold a similar car about 1.5 years ago for $5000.

I'd say around $3k would be a decent asking price.

Typically 'forum people' would give you less, but a kid off the street might give you more...

Shoot, we're 'numb' to Rx7's... We see 'em everyday--on the forum that is. But to an outsider, they are pretty unique and attractive cars.

If you sold it here in Alberta you wouldn't get less than 5-6k for it.

Honestly, if I saw this, I would assume the car is hacked and offer a price based on the condition of the body only. Likely it will also throw "non RX-7 people" for a loop as well, and make any good mechanic give the purchaser a warning when having the car inspected.
