Alright, im just curious how much all of you paid originally for your FC, not how much you paid in total mods and crap(cause damn, some of you have gone all out on these things)

I think i got a pretty good deal on mine, heres my 66 dollar dream. It runs and drives, but its gonna need a rebuild, smokes too damn much, but lets see some good deals.

 

Paid $1,800 for an 1989 GTUs w/ 97,000 miles. All it needed was a wiper switch, power antenna, and a good cleaning.

 

I got my 87 GXL for 525 at a police auction. I would have gotten it alot cheaper but the sister of the guy they used to own it was bidding against me. The inside was a little ruff and burgandy but I got it home and started it right up. Never had trouble with the motor. I did however tear up the tranny , well a girl i was seeing did. The body was in good shape as well. I think I got a good deal. I guess the cops are good for something.

 

$4k for a 91 Coupe w/ 96k miles on her. It needed new interor door handles and that was it.

 

Got my 88TII for $4000. I had to go out to Iowa City from Albuquerque NM to get it but it was a fun bus ride. The car had everything working, a/c too, new tires (whoopdeedoo), 91000 miles with a mazda factory remanufactured engine replacement done at 75000 miles new rear calipers and cheap but fresh paint job.

 

i payed 3800 for my 87TII with 61k miles in perfect condition. All it needed was a new antenna mast :-D. I was very fortunate to have an uncle who took very good care of the car. I dont think it EVER spent a night ouside before I got it, and rarely even saw rain.

 

Paid $800 for mine..All it needed was a new water pump..hehe..I ripped em off...

 

I got my GXL for $300 not running, perfect interior, but alittle paint missing on the exterior. The best deal I've ever made except for my $200 dolar 83 280zx. That car is fun as hell.

I got the best deal on mine. I started out with an 86 base model I picked up for $400 that had a bad water seal. I rebuilt the engine for about another $400 and then traded it even up for my TII which needed a clutch and a new exhaust gasket. I had it running in 3 days. Now I probally have about $20k in work done to it.

 

I got a 88 T2 for $500 with a blown engine. Replaced that with a J spec engine for $750. sold the car for $1600 cash

I also got a 87 GXL for $300 needed tires, owner thought engine was blown, but wasn't. Sold this one also for $2000.

I also got another 88 SE for $400 from a guy who kept it in garage for over 14 years, was crying when we came and got it. It was low on oil and won't start, didn't need anything and just had $2500 in suspension parts and all the mounts replaced 6 months before we got it from him. He also thought the engine was blown.
Gave this one to my good friend for the price I paid for it.

 

Paid $2200 for my 87 TII back in 96, month later motor blew....replaced it then drove it for a year and a half and sold it for $3500. Paid $1000 for my 86 GXL I just got, needs new paint ( still doing body work) needed new taillights (done) needed a major interior cleaning.

 

Paid $800 for my 86 N/A, great interior, pretty good exterior (needs paint and a little body work), Engine runs great (163k miles). Already had rims, exhaust, and CD player.

 

$2800

see pics in sig

edit: adding a sig would help..

 

650 for mine with bent frame, work at body shop so all work is free ( mwa. hahahaha ) painting soon will be on the road in a week or so! lot of work and grief, but makes it better in the end!

 

paid $1750 for mine, bought it from my brother. Its a Stock 88 TII with 40,000 on rebuilt motor. Little body damage. Great steal I think.

I upgraded Exhaust, Down Pipe, FCD, and SDS Fuel Management System So Far.

 

I bought my 91 vert for 6000. I got it from the original owner with everything on there still original. The tires were still from factory and everything else. Nothing was changed yet. Oh, yea forgot to mention that it had 36,000 miles on it.

 

dang, some of you guys got some good deals... on the ones that weren't owned by relatives, how did you come across your fc's? you just happen to see them for sale by some guy in his driveway? or...?

 

i want to get a 86-89 RX-7, but i wanted to know if it is easy to put in a new engine (13B-REV). or a Turbo II

 

couldn't you just get a 86-89 turbo II?

 

my car i found at a repair shop, it was just abandoned and i just paid for the repair bill... $66 and the car is mine

 

niiiiice.... i wanna find one like that... that'd be d0pe

 

i know where an '87 n/a is for $300, running, tranny is shot, but its got leather seats, and the rest of its in great shape, im gonna buy it and swap the seats

 

'87 T2 running for $500. Had some body damage (nothing big)....later the engine started dying...pulled it and got a jspec.

 

I STOLE THIS ONE!!!
