Unhappy Help Me Find A Cheap Fd3s For Sale

hey guys, damn i really wanna FD3S sooooo bad, i have an 86 Rx-7 right now , the only thing i do not like about that is the body, other than that it is a GREAT car... i am currently looking for a cheap *** FD3S like the most i would have is $6500 this summer before school. Do any of you guys know where i could find one around that area that cheap, i wouldnt car if it had much body damage but not too much, wouldnt really care how many miles either, cuz i would do a motor swap and new body kit! Thanks!!!

ebay prices for FDs are much lower than you can sell them for off ebay.

keep the fc and save for a fd. if you only have 6500 to spend you cannot afford a fd no matter what anyone tells you.

You need about twice that to really get an FD. 10 minimum to get the car then a few grand "just in case"

$6500 will buy you a headache. Another $6500 might be enough to get that headache running.

Stick with your FC. Ebay prices are cheaper than hell in comparison.

you can get a burned and/or crashed fd for that much. im acutally selling one for 6k just about but it is hit in the rear (i fixed it though) as well as in the front (which i also have fixed). im only selling this low becuase i need the cash (volunteering does not get you cash unfortnatly and cars are expensive hobbies). in anycase, im selling for the price of the car+price to put it back to where it is now. oh well, good luck on your search.

hey i was born in 1985....dont hate...j/k

anyway, if you really want a fd just wait. trust me, if you only have 6500 you dont have enough. I've had my FD for 2 months and already put over $1000 into it. Insurance alone is going to cost an you 3000+ per year. Its not cheap. It sucks to be broke dude, but the FD makes it worth it. Keep saving and one day you'll get there.
