AllRotor93, a huge help in the FD community.

I recently purchased my first RX7, and my first "car" although not my first vehicle. Months and months of searching to find the right one, with all the things most of us want: Great compression testing, near stock interior, a paint job that turns heads, tastefully modified, low mileage, an owner who actually changed the oil on time or even sooner, and something that still makes some braaaap while being reliable, plus, I even have access to a list of maintenance and parts upgrades all documented and listed down to the cent value lol. And of course, I wouldn't take anything else but an R1, for the title alone.

So after months of back and forth emails, questions, idea's, setting up shipping, mailing documents, forwarding them to where they needed to go, I was able ship my new wallet devouring toy 1000+ miles all thanks to Allrotor93. He always replied very quick, everything was there with the car plus some extra things here and there in the glove box and trunk. So again, thanks to him and everyone here, I hope to join the build threads soon and get involved in a great community. Plus this guy always has the good parts for sale lol. Here is just a teaser

93' BB R1

there's still plenty of low mileage FD's around, you just have to be ready to shell out the $$$ for them.

Nice pick up! Post some more pictures when you get a chance. Good choice going with an R package.

Gordon, I agree with you on the current price point for low mileage FDs. I can't help but notice the large disparity in price between higher mileage "midrange" cars and the cleaner, lower mileage examples. Nowadays, it seems like you can just find a random FD for 10-12k. Are the "nicer" cars getting more expensive and the rest getting cheaper?

Just saw a '93 touring with 15,200 miles go for 18K even on the auction site. Original owner, too. If it had been an R1 (the car was red) do you think it would have gone for more?

Also, 18K today is around 11K in 1992. Helluva buy, assuming car is mint.
