Yeah the color and the fact that it was a plain 12a first gen got me. But, low mileage eh?
Someone on FB pointed out that some guy has been buying a ton of cars like that recently, overpaying on some of them.

Yea supply seems to have dropped off substantially. It does appear a lot of folks "offloaded" over the last 18 months. Things may pick up again in the spring.. we'll see.

In the mean time how about a 1958 250GT Ferrari instead? Current bid is $10K:

that thing would be a HUGE project, you can always slip a corvette under it or something, but where are you going to get the windshield?

Anyone have thoughts on the 92 on Bring a Trailer?
6k miles and RHD. Could bring a huge amount but it seems like the JDM cars don’t have as much appeal.

I had some Japanese colleagues visit me at work a couple years ago who are at least somewhat into cars. I told them I had a '95 Rx-7. They had a blank look on their face. It was like telling someone here you had a '95 Firebird or something. RHD Rx-7's, at least the higher volume model years, are just used plain old used cars in that market. Meanwhile those colleagues find F-150's (complete dime a dozen vehicle in the US) cool. That's certainly anecdotal but it illustrates that you get used to certain things and don't find so much value in them.

Yea I'm watching that low mileage RHD. It seems they are picking up steam here in the states as low mileage LHD are becoming increasingly scarce. I'm guessing 15% less than what a LHD will bring. Just never know with auctions, going to be fun to watch.

Excellent. If the Japanese don't think a stock FD is anything special, I might be able to get a Spirit R or Bathurst...

Admittedly I never was all that up on the different packages available in Japan, but I've never heard of this one: 1992 JDM Type-X (BB/red)
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1992-mazda-rx-7-36/
I'll be curious to see where this one ends up!

I think the Type-X was basically the US Touring. Leather, cruise, sunroof, Bose hose.
Also strange the car has the 96+ whale tail spoiler. Someone added that in Japan. Rest of the car looks bone stock.
