I dunno where they went to..But now a days when I search the Want ads,etc I am finding that the price of a S5 TII, a TII swapped or S4 TII is getting ridiculous.
No way in hell I am spending 6-10K for a 30 year old car!

These cars have moved past the bottom of the depreciation curve. While there still may be some deals to had, those will be fewer and farther between. I'm sure it will eventually plateau again, but the days of cheap FCs in good shape are ending.
As far as S5 TIIs go, it's simply a matter of numbers. They didn't have the same production the S4s did, so it's a battle of attrition.

This brings up an interesting point. My suggestion to folks looking for an RX-7 is to have a reasonable budget. This would include adding the price of travel and shipping to your budget and find one local for that price. The other option is to wait and looking everywhere till one pops up. Be ready to look at a lot of junk. And when you find the one jump at it.

Many are ok paying $20-30k for a vintage Mercedes, Ford, Chevy, Jag, etc. Sure, our cars are not a Pagoda, but the fact that there are less and less really good 2nd. gens. will cause the price to go up.

We got used to seeing so many RX-7's in terrible condition (which mostly have been crushed by now) for cheap, we started undervaluing all of them (even the good ones).
You will see what these cars will go for in 10 years lol.

I have an 89 I got over 2 years ago for 4200. I got lucky considering the motor has around 7k on a large streetported motor and some other goodies. It's also sat for over 1.5 years on jackstands waiting on my lazy *** to swap out the interior that I got for it and to fix all the little bullshit under the hood (I also had a kid and I go to school and work too).
I thought of selling it, but seeing how hard they are to find now, I refuse to do it.

I recently just picked up an S4 TII for just over 5k. But, during my search I found a red S5 TII with a Jspec in Norcal for 4k. BUT it had 200k+ miles on the chassis.
Even NAs are almost twice the price of what they were 10 years ago.

Well after 2 years of working on a bare shell I got my car on the road.
I had my share of Turbo engines and went V8..(mind you I should have stayed in Taco Land)
Ironic though because I forgot a lot of V8 and Piston info since I went Rotary about 11 years ago...so it's like "How do you time this thing","what's a carburetor"..head gasket?..?
