10? 20? 35?

 

16k, new engine, tires, 5th gear syncro, boost/water temp gauges, turbo timer, etc. Near perfect exterior, paint is emaculant!

 

Damn.. I gotta find a good deal like that... I wonder what kind of 3rd gen i can get with 13-15 grand..

 

I got mine with 29k miles for $18k 4 years ago.
I literally stole it

 

Hey fly... You were looking around for the right deal for how long?.. Cause usually it takes a year for a deal like that to come around..

 

I got mine for 12k w/ 14k miles on a rebuilt. I have around 20k now.

 

I looked and looked and looked for 6 months. I finally got lucky and found my FD at a dealer. They got it as a trade in on a Friday, and I saw the FD parked in the back on a Sunday night. Monday I test drove her, Tuesday I took her home I got lucky in the sense that they didn't really have to do anything to it. So they sold it for a hair more than what they payed for it.

The guy that traded it in was a young doctor that just got married. He needed a Grand Cherokee. That poor bastard

 

14,075 Total for a 93 R1 w/ 14500 miles. and 13500 for my other 93 R1 with 43000 miles. the first one was a great find and worth the flight to SD. to buy.

I paid $16K on '93 VR Touring w/52K miles. Bone stock. New tires, new front control arms and bushings. Price included a bumper to bumper warranty for 2 more years. I was the 3rd owner. 2nd owner had it for 12 months but needed a bigger car to go to college! It had some minor paintless dent removal done.

I immediately changed the fluids, the plugs, the plug wires, O2 sensor, battery and fuel filter. I also repaired the 5th gear synchro, replaced the clutch, put in A/F meter, boost guage, PFS intake, new floor mats, tinted glass, Sparco shift ****, fan mod, Aluminum AST, and 99 tail light conversion.

Downpipe is next this summer. A RB dual cat-back next year. M2 ECU waiting to be put in.

 

15.5K for a '93 R1 53K miles. Had an Apex N1 CB and an ACT clutch. good condition.

 

got my VR R1 for 12k from an older lady with 60k miles on it in perfect running condition. needed some paint but thats all back in 99

 

20k 94r2 50k miles bone stock, never seen rain and always garaged. I also haev never had anythign fail on me. no repairs basically in almost 2 years.

then I blew engine

 

I think I got the Best Deal..

Back in 1993, There was a ship full of FD3's
on the way to the USA. But ran into a acid rain
storm, which left the paint kinda dull with acid spots.
The STicker price of the CAR was 33K brand new.
BUT since it was a acid rain car there was a 10K off the sticker.. And dealerships acros the country only got 1.

So I got my Brand NEW RX7 VR with 6 miles on it.
For 23K.

Traded in my 87 Buick regal grand national ( which was falling apart) got 7k for trade in.

So I basically got the brand new 93 R1 for 17K with 6 miles. Since then, has been painted Bright White,
With CB, DP, INtake, SMIC with 123K miles and still running great, with original motor and turbos...

Anyone else get a acid rain FD3?

 

93 vr 55k original miles belonging to an old dentist =)

 

oh yeah for 14,800

 

I got my '94 White FD Touring for 13k with 55k miles on the original engine. Leather is a little worn in a couple spots, but no tears, and only a couple small rock chips in the hood that I can touch up myself. No abnormal smoke, turbos still pull strong.

 

I LOVE this thread. Someone please remember it when we get one of those "$28,000 isn't too high for an FD" and "C'mon, we can talk up the price of our cars" threads in which people get all emotional and pissed off because they see the natural depreciation of their cars.
BTW, I believe absolutely the purchase prices people are reporting here. It's some claims of unusually high sales prices that I'm skeptical of.

I guess I have to pay to play here. Bought my '95 with the PEP option new in Aug. '95. List was $40, 380.00
Through my better than average shopping and bargaining techniques, I paid $34,843.00. RX-7 sales were extremely slow at the time and there was even a leftover stock of '94's, which meant supply was way higher than demand.

*just to add a little qualification. The list price on the purchase agreement was $39,980, but by the time the car actually arrived on the dealer's lot, the list price on RX-7's had increased, and the window sticker that came with the car listed the total vehicle price as $40, 380.
This price did not include tax and license, which were additional.

 

I paid $3k, car was demolished but looks as good as new, had no frame damage, only sheet metal and interior work needed. 32k on engine and tranny original!

 

I paid 12,500 for mine Jan 2000 was bone stock w/ 83k miles and new tires installed at the time of purchase.

Now 38,000mi and $11,000 later it is a:

93 Touring / Auto / Silverstone / Red Leather / Hayes rbld w/street-port / Efini 'Y' pipe / M2 SS DP (w/ThermoTec) / SR Power Pulley / RB Dual Tip / Red Ft. Calipers / SS lines / HPS (f) EBC Green (r) / AutoMeter Boost & AF Ratio mtrs. / K&N Drop-In in Mod Stock Air Box / GooseProd Alum. AST / R-2 Fr Strut Bar / Pirelli P7000
