Stumbled upon this on another forum. Looks cherry.

Glad to see the trend on pricing starting to value these cars properly.

1993 Mazda RX-7 -- 9,600 Original Miles - LotusTalk - The Lotus Cars Community

 

What were you doing on the Lotus forums..? nice find btw

 

If it was a base model I'd try to scoop that up

Nice, someone looking for a touring should grap it quick

 

Link from a non-Lotus forum to the Lotus forum.

Between the Spec Miata and the FD, my car spending is already more than I'd like.

 

If it was a non sunroof manual car of any other color we might be seeing who could close the deal the fastest lol.

That's some of the lowest mileage I've seen on these cars in a very long time.

Rich had a 13k mile black R1 that I should have bought 2 years ago. It was similar money as this one. Still smelled new.

Unmolested examples like this will be bringing more and more money in the next decade.

 

Save money keep the lotus

 

i rather have the sun roof, I use mine quite often. Just raise the boost a pound or two to move the extra weight lol.

 

You would think they would have better pictures. Haha Nice to see people still baby their cars.

 

These low mileage cars that are popping up are a pretty good value if someone wants a like-new FD, but they also show how the cars aren't a good investment as a collector. Consider that when new in 93-95 these cars had an msrp of 35-40k. In 2014 dollars, that's 57 - 62k. Add in the cost of insurance, storage, registration, etc. for 20 years and you can see how much owning/not driving/selling a low mileage example has really cost the seller and how good a deal they are if you're in the market for that sort of thing.

Now another thing to consider: in 3 more years it'll be legal to import the early overseas FDs into the states. In a few more years, it'll be legal to import 1996 models, and then 1999 models. What do you think that will do to our resale values?

My point is this: Go forth and buy/enjoy your FDs and don't worry about the value

 

It's mostly about head room.
