Also, I'm not sure about the 10AE, but my 88 SE had a sticker on the air box cover, and I don't see one on that car (it probably got removed with the massive steam cleaning job, lol). It is missing the battery cover, and from the picture it looks like the rubber part of the gas pedal is gone. The car looks excellent for the most part.
I wonder how it blew through a clutch in only 37K miles if the car was driven so well? My original clutch lasted over 96k miles, and that was with autocrossing! Also, it makes you wonder what happened to the original wheels.
I'd pay $15K for a MINT 10AE. That car is not mint. Where the hell are the wheels? 37k miles? that's kinda high for a collector car.
I'd probably pay $20K for one in brand new condition. Maybe even more..

Dealer retail for excellent condition for that car is only $5500 and without the OEM wheels and the damage to the leather, it really is only good condition.
Private party for excellent condition is only $4000
And that is with rasieing the value of the car an extra $1200 for low mileage.

I emailed them on the clutch and wheels... they replied:
i don't have the stock wheels, i've looked at a few sets here and there, and
will probably end up buying a set. i hate the look of them, myself, but i
agree that to be totally right, it needs the wheels. i'm not sure why the
clutch went out so early, but the car IS fifteen years old, regardless of
the mileage. i guess i am basing why i bought it on the fact that it is a
clean, no paintwork, no dings, no repairs needed car, rather than a high
mileage, dinged up, repainted and restored car.

For that kind of money it should have under 10 miles on it and never been registered and kept in a climate controled garage. He must really think he has soemthing and looks as though he's going to be able to hang onto it for a while.

I would say 7-8K only if you found an RX-7 fan. If it was not for us guys nobody would even want these things! We can't even get Japanese cars recognized as collectibles from most classic insurance companies. Maybe the 240Z that's about it.

so he bought it with the intention to sell? man, ol dude might as well hang onto the car and get his moneys worth. drive the bitch. put 20K miles on it in one year. collecting cars is a weird habit. i prefer the rush of driving, not the jay leno feel of just owning. actually he probably drives some of those cars. i'm talking out my ***.
