Check out this guy trying to pass off a 94 as a 95:

BTW, check out the other 95 for sale, too bad it's an auto. (VR base w/auto, only 7 imported!).

 

Thats still a nice seven. How can you tell the difference between the years?

 

the red 95 has suede seats and looks like a manual? perhaps a 95 VR R2??? looks like it to me.

 

because Fd's only came with the 6-cyl in 94....

 

VIN: JM1FD3330R0301967

JM1 = Mazda Motors Japan
FD = RX-7 3rd generation
33 = Coupe
3 = 1994,1995, manual seat belts, 2 airbags
0 = Check digit
R = 1994 model year, 1995 is "S"
0 = Hiroshima assembly plant
301967 = 1994 started at 300001, 1995 is "4xxxxx"

 

I like the way he embelishes the items the car comes with. Very nice use of words and a fine rx7 and i still dont get how you can tell its a 94?????

 

Yup, its a 94! I ran a Carfax on it!

 

I contacted the seller on Sunday @ the year. He replied he made a mistake and would contact all bidders. I still don't see any update indicating it's a '94, but LA Motor Cars was high bidder @ 19,000. Notice the Jersey Tags.

 

I know the owner, met him during a business trip 2 weeks ago. I have a call into him to make the changes.

 

Interesting, I never knew what each one stood for. What other things can you learn about the car via the VIN? I am interested to know. Thanks JimLab.

 

If anybody wants me to check it out....i'm in champaign (and very knowledgeable).

Heh heh. It's for sale by the "original owner", who doesn't know what year it was, huh?

 

the red 95 is a manual.......its cheap too.

 

wierd its "located" in Champaign, IL

but has jersey (insurance ripoff capital of the world) plates on it...seems fishy

 

Couldn't have said it better... NJ rates ripoffs... legit robbery.

 

Its funny how he "made a mistake" 4 times in the ad. What a dumbass! I guess he think that only suckers buy from Ebay...

 

Not a very nice thing to do

 

I talked to the guy the other day about it. Here's the scoop... it's not HIS car! He's storing and maintaining it for a friend that got transferred overseas for work. Apparently his friend won't be coming back for a while and decided to sell the car.

When I initially saw that it was a 95 with so little miles I immediately called him to make an offer. We tried to work out a deal but it never panned out. When I talked to him the bid was over $19,000 (which is his reserve price). Apparently when some of the bidders found out it was truly a 94 they retracted they're bids.

It still a good price for a 94 with so little miles. My concern is the car is in storage all the time and only occasionally get's driven, he said a couple times a month. I think the car needs to be driven more than that. Did you look at the picture of the engine? It's filthy.
