the ad says its an 89, its NA, if its an 89 then the GTU designation was the base model. sure, its only got 36k on it, but thats no reason to pay $10,000 for an NA 2nd gen. hell, i wouldnt even pay that for a turbo in the same condition. whoever is selling that car is looking for rich kids with no knowledge of cars

 

where did you get '92 from? lol

even if it only has 35k miles on the clock and in perfect condition it still would be hardly worth a penny over $6k if you ask me.

 

i think its about 6500 over priced.
and there was no 92.

 

P T Barnum said there was a sucker born every day. All the seller has to do is find one to prove it and the belief there are some absolutely stupid suckers.

 

KBB excellent condition price listing on the car is $5700 which to me even seems high.

 

It's not a 92, there was no 92.

It's a non turbo. They go for 3-5 grand all day long, usually less.

It's an AUTOMATIC. They suck. They are slow, poorly geared, shift funny, and the transmissions do not last very long.

Automatic nonturbos usually go for about half their manual counterparts.

That is a 3-4 thousand dollar car on a good day...only because it is so clean. Great candidate for a modded NA manual swap, or a turbo swap.

 

No 92? wasnt there a limited 92 vert?

 

There were rumored to be a few 92's sold in the US. They were titled as 92's, though they were actually 91 models left over that had not yet sold.

 

Some left over 1991 vert stock was supposedly sold as 1992 models.
This is via the Jack Yamaguchi book.

There were 92 verts made, however they were full leather with tan and black interiors.

Remember the verts were not made on the regular FC/FD/323 production line. but rather the same line that the Mellinnia and eunos 900 were later built on.

The leftover 91s had single color interiors such as solid blue, and solid black.

The coupes of course stopped production in May of 91, while convertibles didn't stop until 08/92.

 

Odd, that I have never seen one of these 92 US verts with tan interior. Never seen or heard tell of one, in person or on the internet.

 

Maybe they were only sold in CA. I have seen two.

Either way, the car in the originators post is a 89 not a 92

Here is a pic of the Jspec 92 so you can get an idea of the colors:


Tan seats, tan door inserts, tan carpet, black everything else

 

Accrding to the mazda comp site, there was a 92.
I quote:
"1991-92 Parts Catalog

(yes, there was a '92)"

As for the car, I don't there's such thing as a stock or mildly modded FC that is worth even close to 10k. For that price you could buy a shell, get a j-spec, rebuild it, put on a nice turbo with standalone and maybe a full race suspention.

 

I have seen the pics of the jdm tan/black verts, but NEVER one in north america. I'd love to see it. Who here owns one?

 

There was one at 7 stock last year, if it is there again, i'll get the guys name

 

Not sure if it's different stateside, but we have several 92 cars over in the UK all turbo coupes and turbo conv. Here we have letters which designate the year of registration and I have seen a number of J plated FCs which means late 91-92 cars (many FDs are J plated) there are a few K plated cars (late 92-93) over here too. The JDM run out model was the Infini IV started production in 91 had more power, less weight, better suspension and less luxurys. Damn nice if you can lay your hands on one though!

 

i bought a mint 1987 tii with 46,000 on it for $6000

i believe i paid too much, you definately should pay more than 5k for that car

 

^ should not* pay more than 5k for that car

definately not worth it

 

wow....what kind of crack is that guy on????? you can get an ok FD for 4K more........don't bother with this car unless you have another tranny to swap in.........2500 and not a penny more.

 

you guys get screwed on prices in the US! I paid £1400 (about $2200) for my 89 Turbo II 3 years ago, with a recent rebuild and that was expensive! I saw a MINT 91 Turbo II cab with 89k on the clock and a rebuilt block 4000 miles ago change hands over here recently for less tha £1200 ($2k)! Old cars have no value in the UK unless they are considered genuine classics

 

you probably have less idiot ricers that jack up the prices because INITIAL D i mad l33t yo.

 

less ricers on the FC front, but there are some shocking FDs over here that were bought cheap from the auctions in Japan! Still, a lot of ricers in the UK have no money (that's why they buy bad Jap auction crap that the trade don't want!) so they buy sheds, glue cheap shitty bad fitting aero parts to them and bring the prices down further!

 

The left over stock must have been in the factory. Once the cars are assigned a VIN, you can't sell them as anything other than the assigned year designation. The tenth digit in the VIN is the year code. So a 91 was M and a 92 would be N.

I would be curious to see what the VINs are on these 92 Verts...

That is incorrect. The poor selling GTUs model is a classic example.

The left over 89 models, were re-stamped with the 90 model year VIN in the 10th digit and the 89 model year VIN was stamped out.

The two I have seen had N as the model year designator.
