Anyone know who's car that was by chance? He called me up as the car was being auctioned and it went for $8500 ! It was silver with Red int. R1 single turbo with a blown clutch. It also had a SMIC and big exhaust along with 18" rims. It sold in a matter of 3 minutes. He should've bought it instead of calling me up hehe !

 

Although it sounded like a good deal...it was sold under a "Red Light" perhaps bec. of the clutch which was the only thing announced as it was being sold. They did say the engine was running. However, it could've had a blown engine with an apex seal that could've fragged out and ate up the single turbo as well. No body damage listed and carfax report was clean. Oh well, I told him to buy the next one he sees.

 

wow...the FDs price has stooped down to the level of '95 Honda Civics! YAY!

 

no auctions dont count...you really have no idea what you are getting sometimes...

I wish Fd's would cost a min of $20K..keep the ricers away...

 

I'm going to agree with that since I already have one

 

I've had 2...had to buy the second one used ofcourse..when the first one went bye-bye.. I have no issues spending $20K plus for a FD ...still a bargain if in good shape

 

took the words right outta my mouth.

 

yea I'd be scared to bid on a "red light" FD with a "blow clutch" yea right, its prob got a bad motor. If the motor was good its a steal!!!

You really cant compare auction prices with street prices, espcially for a RX7. Dealers are scared to buy them because of the reliability issues so the auction prices are usually dirt. If you ever find a good clean on at a auction the dealer that get it usually makes a fortune on it!!!!

Daaayyymmm......
Are there any specific auctions that tend to have a lot of RX7's go through?
