Not to mention harder rotors and lower compression.

1991 Mazda RX-7 Coupe 2D
Engine: 1.3 Liter Rotary
Trans: 5 Speed Manual
Drive: Rear Wheel Drive
Mileage: 70,000
Private Party Value $3,875

again I feel that Edmunds has a more realistic price:

Dealer Trade-In: What Others Are Getting $2,571
Private Party: What Others Are Getting/Paying $3,360
Dealer Retail: What Others Are Paying $4,675

I have been watching 7's on E-Bay go for both cheap and too much. I think if you placed a detailed ad, you wouldn't have a problem getting $3000+. 70,000 on a 91...I would bite if I wanted another 7 and had the money. I am about to just go ahead and put my 90 up with a reserve...

I just wanted to add that everytime I drive my 90 or 91, I am so happy with the RX-7! What could one better spend $2300 on? Surely not a Probe, 240SX, Eclipse, or Beretta. And 90 Rustang GT's, 300ZX's, and Corvettes surely cost a lot more than what you are getting, no?

Actually...the 240SX (s13 or s14) handle damn well stock and downright freaky with eibachs and the cast-iron 300Z 4POT brakes. The 2.4L has a healthy dose of torque as well. With factory LSD diffs available at salvage for a hundred and a half and the transmission on the 240 is quite sturdy and can handle the torque of a boosted KA24 with great reliability.

If this RX hadn't just fallen into my lap, I might just be driving another one. :P The RX's and the 240SX are a couple of inexpensive IRS/RWD gems in a landfill of FWD snoozer cars. imho
