Are you asking to buy one from someone, or are you looking to sell yours?

Whizbang

fcfanatic

He said he just picked one up. I am sure he is joking.

whoknowswhat

InMyWhiteTII

PO kept the original window sticker from the TII when he bought it o__o. Grand total comes to only $20,464.00 plus Inland Freight, so $20,739.00. For a Brand New 1987 TurboII.

SwiftTone

I have a '88 10th Anniversary. I think it was $25k+ i have the window sticker and i'll look at it later.

SwiftTone

$24,885 was the out the door price on the window sticker.

Mine was bought 1-05-87, and I have all the original warrenty info, but not the price paid. I do know it was sold for about 7,000 in mid '88. Of course, mine was a true base with only A/C and P/S as options.

As far as I can tell, I'm the 5th owner. Everyone kept up with all records, though.

neofreak

I have the original paperwork, 89 TurboII It was 28 something, almost $29k. I can check when I get home.

Whizbang

22k in the 80s was alot of money...

think about it this way, the new rx8s arent much more money....now.

Just to illustrate how expensive our cars were becoming, you can get an Rx-8 now for $29k.

According to this inflation calculator,

That's about as much as Corvette today. As for my car, an 88 GTU:

That's around the price of an Rx-8 today. All those people bitching that Rx-8s don't compare to T2's, well look at the price difference. I think what happened in the late 80s was that the Japanese yen strengthened majorly and that just made their goods really expensive. Hence Mazda instituted some of those cost cutting measures for the s5, like the sway bar end links.
