I can understand the fact that it has low miles. But if you were to buy it, would you keep it stock??? Hell no. Most of the original parts would be replaced by aftermarket ones.

Big waste of money to me.

Some of you youngin's are crazy. Bone stock and low milage? If I had extra cake I would be on that fd like white on rice.
I am always amazed when these low milage cars surface. I hope there are a few left so I can get one someday.

damn that car IS nice and clean. i agree with fd3boost on the thing he's talkin about. turbotagteam is right, but with all those parts stock it means that the engine wasn't pushed or anything too much and that it was taken care of. if i were him i would have at least changed the air intakes and radiator and downpipe with some other hoses and piping and then leave the rest to stock, but all-round this car is definitely worth it.....

i bought a cherry 1993MB with 32k on it and well, i've not had NEARLY the amount of issues and downtime that most of the people on here who preach the bennies of buying a car with 100k miles on it since you're just going to change everything anyways. everytime i take it to a tuner or mechanic for work (maintenance or otherwise) they're always amazed at how good of condition it in.

fwiw, my car had only been serviced by a dealer up to the point that i bought it and well, who cares, it wasn't my money that was paying for it and again... i've had less problems than most with my car up to this point.

(runs and knocks on everything wood i can find)

^ SO TRUE!!!!!!!

I brought my Fd to the dealership when I was evacuated for the hurricane becasue I needed a oil change and had no where to do it. (i was staying in a hotel) They managed to,

A) Break my driver side door handle. I wanst horribly upset about this because I got a new one, but still pissed.

B) Bend my back RIM to where the tire would ot hold air anymore. They had to send it off to get it fixed.

C) Crack my Map Sensor.

How the **** do you break all of this just from an oil change. The average joe auto shop wouldn't even have this much trouble changing the oil.

AHHHHHhhhhhh THOSE PEOPLE SUCK!!!!!!!!!

I just bought a stock 93 FD with only 15k miles on it. Car is new inside and out
has all the stickers etc etc. It does have a few mods like intake, fuel pump and Apexi ecu. Car is red with tan. I will try and post pics. I got it for $20k Looks like the ebay car will go a little higher?

The cleanest FD I've ever seen for sale on ebay, anywhere for the matter, was a red 95. Had less than 10k! Still had the window sticker on the car and was being sold by a lawyer. If I had the dough, definately a stocker over modified, especially a 95 with less than 10k!!! You can't go wrong.

i believe the one you're mentioning maurice is the one that was the very last fd made in the us. i don't know if that one ever got sold cause they were asking like 50 grand or somethin, but the person who ended up buying it was one lucky guy cause not only was it clean inside and out, and bone stock with all the stickers and everything, it was the last rx-7 produced in the us....

Was Keyless Entry an option on these cars? That would be a nice feature since I would rather give my tired door locks a rest.

That looks more like a key chain from the dealership. You know, the ones with their name on it.

I bought my 94 R2 a few years ago bone stock with 24k on it. It is Still bone stock with 26xxx on it. Just because you buy a performance car doesn't necessarily mean you have to modify it. I will keep mine stock because of the exact mindset that is behind your post. More people are amazed at the perfect and unmolested qualities of mine than by any modifications. If I ever decide I want to modify it I will just go buy a FD that is beat already and start from scratch on that one. It is not a waste of money in my mind to buy, cherish, and diligently maintain one of the few truely good ones that are left out there.
