The Holy Grail....well almost
 

Other than the automatic I'll let this speak for itself

show queen :-D

I forgot what bone stock looks like . Very nice

I got a 93' R1 with 24,000 miles for sale pm me its red

For the life of me, I can't understand why ppl would try and "collect" the absolute WORST combinations: green, tan interior, auto. Dear God...

I'd gut that thing, lol....

Is it just me or are there a LOT of very low mileage MINT RX-7's popping up for sale nowadays? It might just be me noticing more, but it seems a lot of people just had these cars sitting in their garage.

i wish I got 24 on the freeway

It's a freaking automatic. It's makes about as much sense as Kolby paying 60k for them to put an auto in his wife murcielago. I'll never understand it.

if this was 3 weeks from now i would buy it :(

no pic with the whole cluster showing the miles, looks like a base or pep not r2. the kicker would be if it needs tires because of dry rotting etc lol

I say not Holy Grail, Holy rip off

lol....do you think this auction will end at around $20ish?

ITS BLUE BLUE BLUE I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE CALL MY CAR GREEN
:Kill1:

those dont get driven cause its ugly, do you want to be seen in an ugly car?

HaHa... I'm with you. IT'S MONTEGO BLUE!!!!!!!!

This car is on EBAY every couple weeks. It never gets sold. I think the reserve is really high.

hm....but with low milage, i'm sure that middle age that does not know how to drive manual is interested in buying that for their collection.

yo vegas fd, how's the racing scene over there?

the last time when i was there, i saw tons of illegal racers racing with their mini van and SUV. that's really hillarious.

It's also on autotrader for 29K

ok, $29K is way too expensive.

You guys keep worshipping the 95 year. But anyone who has done any form of serious homework will already have worked out any issues a 93 or 94 ever had. There's nothing particularly better about a 95.

I've got a Original '93 CYM with 19K on it for sale(Bone Stock/never touched). Climate controlled stored. Still smells new. An auto isn't going to fetch squat no matter how many miles or what year.

There are a lot of pretty gay "racers" in this city with their fart-can civics. There are quite a bit of legitimate and nicely modified cars in Vegas. You just have know where to find them. The illegals (and legals for that matter) are not the nicest cars here.

I saw a greenish FD in dec of last year, is that urs?

^No, my FD is Silver. There are only roughly a dozen FDs in Vegas that I'm aware of. It's kinda fun to see a new one- every few months..

For the buyer...I've got all the parts needed for a 5-speed swap (except shifter cover and 5-speed ECU).

That will at least solve one of the problems.

I like the color guys, and tan spells out expensive. You want a dark colored car when you have tan inside simple as that. Looks great. The only issue is auto but I mean just look at the carpeting and the seats and the paintwork and wow............. it's new. Barely ever sat in, the headlight motors are good, the gas cap opens without fuss, the hatch shocks still work the door handles won't break, the headlight cover won't fly off. I mean you guys keep dissne but you can't say all that about your cars. No wear and tear = a nearly perfect example of FD just needs a manual tranny.

I think that rx7 is a joke...why the hell would someone hold on to something that is meant tobe DRIVEN for 10-11 years and it only have 185 miles...friggin waste of a great car...

i really hope sombody buys that car and puts it to good use. its depressing to think its never been pushed to the limit the way 7's are meant to be pushed. wish i had some money, id buy that shit in a second (not for 29k tho, thats for damn sure haha)

I find it funny the attitudes of you Rx-7 owners -- that your cars should be beaten to shit and scarred beyond recognition with unsightly body kits and engine life reducing modifications. There's nothing wrong with auto, and there's nothing wrong with a pristine car.

that car is right near my house haha ive seen it they actually park it outside the dealership sometimes when its nice out! hahah it really is flawless hmmmmmm!

Considering the silver/black/MT Texas car with 5K miles went for around 28K a couple of weeks ago its funny how a color combo and transmission choice kills a speculative investment. Taking the 35K the car cost and putting it in the stock market would probably got the guy over 100K by now. ESPECIALLY since the car was never driven?!

First off I am in NO way saying that the Rx-7 should be beaten to hell, but 185 miles is a JOKE. You mean to tell me that you think this AUTO car is a good deal at 29k. Lets be real here...we all know that car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay...but I promise you that car is not worth anywhere close to 29k. I would pick the CYM (actual rare color) with 19k miles ernie T's friend is selling for 25k 1 million times over before I purchased that car for 29k! Not everyone on this forum owns "unsightly body kits" and I would say that the majority of fd's on this forum are not "scarred beyond recognition" and there are many pristine single turbo fd's that are just as reliable if not MORE reliable than the stock sequential setup which is prone to cause headaches. I am in no way a bashing a pristine low mileage STOCK Rx-7 by any means, but the 185 mile FD seriously is a waste :)

Absolutely Nick. The car was meant to be driven. Period. Oh and did I mention green on tan in an auto is NASTY?! :p:

wonder what the story is..

left over stock that got lost in the back of a warehouse?

I am high bidder right now, call me an idiot if you must, but I think that this is the best way to avoid an abused, crappy car(even if it looks nice)...especially considering I would even have to finish the break in.

Car was a dealer demo, and looks as though it has changed hands many times over the years...supposedly it was never titled Im trying to get the carfax right now but no ones helping me out :( . If it was never titled and sold as new, does that mean Id have a warranty, lol?

What do you think putting a manual in would do for the price? Or, hey, an LS1/2?
Whats a fair price to buy it at? (obviously no more than 25 I would assume)

I paid between $28-$30 for my FDs on $40K stickers. If they aren't hiding anything, there is no question in my mind that this is worth close to what I paid.

I wouldn't buy an auto FD but lot's of folks did. I would NOT buy this car to convert it. Wait a bit and buy one of mine that I'll be selling.

Whenever anyone bashes Montego Blue I have to remember the groans of ecstacy from the peanut gallery over the pics of GodzillaT-78's car. Now THAT is truly vile while the blue is nicely conservative.

^ Your cars arent "new" like this one, I much rather know exactly how the car was used than buy one of your cars that could have possibly been abused even if you deny it...thats the one thing not even "low mileage" cars can claim...call me crazy, but thats what sets this apart. Sorry if your cars are new though, in that case you'll have to be messaging me.

That's incorrect. There are PLENTY of low mileage pristine, and MAINTAINED FD's to go around if you have a budget of $20K and up. A car like this, however, that's sat around for YEARS, will prob have a LOT of problems. It's safe to assume it wasn't driften often. You're looking at all sorts of buildup, rotting, deterioration, cracking, etc etc. Just because a car is low mileage doesn't mean it's been taken care of properly.

ErnieT, a very respected member of the forum, mentioned earlier that he has a 93 R1 CYM for sale...IIRC it has like 20K on it. I've seen that car, and it's freakin MINT. It's been driven and thus taken care of, not left to dry rot in a garage. And I obviously know it runs like a champ. Who knows if the seals (in the motor) of this Ebay FD are good...

Yes. Manufacturer warranty begins from the date of purchase, and since the car has never been titled, it's never been "owned," and hence the warranty is still valid. Someone a few months ago emailed Mazda about this, and they confirmed this. Again, w/ a car that's BARELY been driven for over a decade, you're gonna NEED that warranty...

No offense, but if you're looking to gut the car or do any modifications to it, IMO, you'd be an idiot to pay that much for it. You can buy a rolling chassis for $6K or so, and drop an LS1 in it (not that I like that). And you can swap a manual into ANY FD. I don't know WHY you'd pay so much for a car that obviously isn't all that to begin with.

Just my $0.02

This post makes you look like an ignorant buffoon.

ok, last year when i'm in vegas, manage to see a greenish RX7 and the red CYM on the road.

I'd love Ernies CYM, but at what is probably going to be the same price I see no reason to not just buy this car when it is new regardless of the auto.

If his car was 20-22k, then this would be a different story because I probably would have already bought Ernies car.

Lol. I had about a 3-year argument with my brother-in-law because he used to swear that they made fd's in green. I finally realized that it was the MB he was referring to.

Have to laugh that a warranty would be a selling point as it would have to be taken to the dealer to use it (and that's not the smartest thing to do or the best thing going for you)

Sorry, I'm short of patience today, but LEARN TO READ. Did you not understand what I wrote about the problems w/ cars that have sat for extended periods of time w/o being driven? Ernie's car has been driven...just not much. But it has been moved on a consistant basis. So if you see no reason, you need to read better.

Not necessarily Jack. Many warranties allow the work to be done at *any* licensed repair facility, but since you're going w/ a different location than the "preferred one" (here being the stealership), the difference is, you may have to front the cost, and wait on them to reimburse you in a week or two. Sometimes, however, that's not even the case, and they'll pay the repair facility of your choice over the phone via their corporate credit card.

I got a 93 vr 5 speed with only 15k on it for $20k. Near showroom condition. The deals are out there!
