I have one.

 

wait a minute... a 96 CYM? Sounds more like sunburst yellow to me, that or its a respray.

BTW- Not being an elitist... Mine isn't CYM and its a respray VV

 

Hi guys,

I do have a 93 Base CYM from Canada. It has 79k miles right now on it's second motor.

Thanks

 

??

 

The CYM was made only as a '93 MY RX-7, of which, 350 were produced......all R1 models.

You should check the Mfg date of your car. FWIW, its impossible to have an original CYM that is not a '93 (your car must have been repainted, or its really a '93).

 

Here's the answer for that JDM FD:

 

There's one currently for sale near me, has 3,234 miles.

 

^ Looked at that one. Car's history isn't quite together and it's had some paint work.

 

Oh do I have some MAAAAD dirt on that car. I had it appraised and everything and still didn't end up buying it.....

PM me for more info.


BTW, if any of you guys want to sell me your CYM....I'm always looking.

 

Something that can't be shared in the open forum? Also interested in what you found.

 

Well....since the guy I was looking at buying it from isn't selling it anymore, I guess it doesn't really matter. But this is what I found out about that car.

Current owner bought it from a guy in Alabama (this kid is a piece of work BTW). I hired an appraisal company to go and look at the car while I was doing some investigative work on the VIN. Ran the VIN at my local Mazda dealership and the last recorded mileage was 50k. Interesting...so I called the dealership that ran that mileage in the system in Alabama (I think) and asked them what work they performed. They told me that the ODO wasn't working so by default they ran the mileage as 50k since it seemed logical for a 20 year old car. They recommended replacing the ODO.

Now, the dealership that recorded the mileage at that time, which I think was back in like 2009 or something. At that time, a loan shark company owned the car and repossessed it back as it was signed for collateral. I called that company but they weren't legally able to give me info on the previous owner due to the obvious legal issues. Naturally, red flag.

The next owner purchased it from the loan shark company and the ODO still wasn't working, had the car for a couple months, sold it to his buddy that pretty much did all the mods you see on it now.

Now we're up to the previous owner (the one before now). This is where the kid tried to fudge the system. He ordered a new cluster from Ray (I know because I called him), and slapped it in the car. When you buy a new cluster, Ray sends this sticker with it that for the dealer that installs it to put in the dealer code and the previous mileage. Well, this guy just slaps the sticker on with Ray's dealer code (which is in Woodbridge, VA) and a previous mileage sticker of 2000.

As seen here: That's Ray's dealer code FYI



This guy lives in Alabama so how could Ray's dealership have done the replacement?
That's because he didn't.

What bothered me about this whole mess, is the car *could* have been the lowest mileage CYM in the country but because this kid just swapped it out and doesn't have the old cluster anymore, all the history is gone. The only place mileage is recorded in the whole car is in the cluster.

And beyond the obvious mileage issues, the car was just really out of whack, frame wise from what my assessor told me. None of the gaps lined up, the paint was all sorts of different shades.

I have a whole folder on my comp dedicated to this car cuz I was sooo pumped when I found it.

Then, game over.

 

Nice detective work. I remember the Carfax showing quite a few owners and at least one title replacement across different states; GA and AL I think. The current dealer has the car priced at a premium and acknowledged the car "is not a time capsule" so I left it there.

 

what's the market value these days for a nicely sorted CYM? mine just sits under a cover collecting dust...

 

It depends on miles, mods, paint quality, history..etc

Moehler (I think I spelled that right) is selling his for $25k with 60k miles on it, putting down 450hp. It's a beautiful car and is definitely worth what he's asking. So, that should be your baseline to go off.

 

Interesting tt7hvn, I know you had an issue with one of the CYM you looked at, didn't know it made its way to Chicago lol.

 

350 USDM models, but how many JDM CYMs were produced?

 

CYM was only produced in 93 in the US. Every yellow one thereafter is sunburst yellow, not CYM.

 

I don't know much about JDM FD's but his VIN plate clearly shows his paint color to be J9 and that = CYM. One thing is for sure: his car is not a 96 like he believed it to be.

 

Yep, not a 96 like the title said.... and i was hoping for. I'm fine with 92, neither were available in the US at the time.

But yes, Color Code on vin plate does state J9,.

Can Someone from japan confirm there where CYM in japan/europe?

I get more lost the more questions i ask about this car haha

 

Lots.

 

hahahaahah thats less than 350

 

That picture looks like the Minion had a block party
