I've owned my FD since the summer of '98, so about 6/7 years......and I'll prolly never sell my 7 unless I get a ridiculous amount offered for it.

 

Since October 22nd 2004.

Wanted one since I was about 16, couldnt afford it till 23. Workin hard at Uni to get a good job - totally worth it

No plans to sell, ever. I want to be driving this car when I'm an old old man.

 

2 Months and haven't even drivin it yet. Bought it with a blown motor. I plan on draining fluids tomorrow and pulling the engine sometime this month. Don't think I will ever be selling it.

 

I just bought a 94 rx7 4 days ago..... I am at school so i cant drive it untill I go home... there are about 200 miles on the motor ...

 

Almost 5 years now, man, time flies!

 

a little over a year, been through alot already

 

Had the white one 2 years and this silver one 4.

 

What is the REAL purpose or intent of this thread? We have people that are original owners of 7s here. Then again, we have 1st and 2nd gen owners who have bought their cars brand new too.

So what is the point of this thread?

 

6 months of which 5 1/2 months included the car under repair/repaint. It seems this process is never over as I want to further the restoration on a car with 40K original miles.

My first FD was sold in late 1994 when my 3rd child came along. Owning an FD now means something completely different: excape from two teenagers, a 10 year old, etc-for the few moments of a turbo charged rush.

 

Got mine December 3, 1992 from the Mazda Regional Office. It was supposed to be used by visiting Mazda bigwigs while they roamed through Houston. It was the car which carried the Houston Mayor in the 1992 Foley's Thanksgiving Day Parade in Houston.

We wanted a VR with black leather and touring package, and this was the only one Mazda could find for us in the US at that time.

I still have it and drive it every day, although it only has about 61,000 original miles on it.... and I'll drive it till I die or till I turn it over to my now 10 year old son when he is 16.

BTW... anyone have a passenger side headlight cover in VR that they want to sell...

 

Im 19 and i got a FD..im many of the few young ones

 

7 years this february.

 

Makes me wonder how many red cars are out there with black leather. Ive never seen one besides mine.. Im extremely glad that I have black leather, not tan...

 

Going on to 4 years! Put about $6K and lookin for a paint job next!

 

There is no real purpose. It was just me learning about the RX-7 community. It's nice to see how long people have sticked with their car through the rough and the tough

 

Almost 7 years...

 

Proud owner since 1993...

 

Original owner of 93 R1, bought august 1993.

12 years and unknown amount $$$$$
scared to know..

Currently SINGLE TURBO with alot of extras.
Get the same if not MORE jaw dropping as if it was 93 again.

WILL Keep for ever.. Can't wait for the NEW 7's to get as DD

 

I'll make it 3 in a row.
I have owned my R1 since May 1993.
It was the first time that I bought a car in its first year of production and it will probably be the last.

 

I wasn't the first owner, had 4,000 miles on it (93 Touring bought in late 93 or early 94). My wife at the time was out of town and I traded my Miata in. Cost then $24,500. I tend to agree with Mr. Stock, don't buy first year production. I will keep indefinately, it is too much fun to drive and it has classic lines.

 

I've had mine just over 3 1/2 years, and its not going anywhere. I was close to selling it about a year ago until I realized that would have been a big mistake. And slapped some sense into myself.

 

1 month here and already selling mine financial situations suck when they are not in your favor lol

 

Actually, my car was very reliable.
What I meant was that I don't think that I would ever be as excited about a car to buy it the very first year.

 

You are sooooooooo right........

 

Bought a '93 r1 in "99, but only kept it for three months because some guy offered me three grand more than I had just paid. Tried a BMW 850 (think the maintenance on an fd is bad, try owning one of these) and then an Acura NSX (zero maintenance, but really expensive to make faster). Had my newest '93 only since October and it has been in the shop since being made faster and hopefully more reliable. Plan to keep it for years.
