does anyone know the retail for one of those? LOL!!! gay *** fast and furious, anyways i just had an argument with my friend about how a 1993 rx-7 was cheaper and faster than any other car in the market back in 1993. Then him being a NON believer in rotary power was saying how an fd was 50k bucks. is this even close?i was thinking more liek 35k at most

 

A little more than your sister: around 20 dollars...Lemme tell you, she was worth EVERY penny man.

 

LoL

 

I like the way you can take a joke man-everyone is so uptight around here....I think they were like 35k...

 

35k US??

 

Im pretty sure. They might have even been more expensive

 

I think they went up every year a substantial amount. Until 95 they were too expensive. Weak dollar and strong yen made no sense to keep it going.

 

nah, just as bored as you are. . .

 

u need to get laid rotorbrain-
have some fun man

 

got one on the way. . . thats why im at work right now. . . having kids isnt cheap

 

Hmm, about 45k in today's dollars.

 

OOOOOOOOOOOOOO- rotorbrain aint a youngster-well then, my bad bro.......just try to have some fun and laugh a little

 

im pretty sure the were 30-32k.

i just remember seeing the price hike on the 91 verts to 27k at the autshow, then realizing that with the new FD bodystyle I'd never be able to afford one through college.

 

Base started at about $30k and Fully loaded touring with lojack and whatnot was about $42.5k

 

My window sticker says MSRP was $31,300 with an extra $70 for floor mats and $1000 for R1 package.

 

I bought my 1993 RX-7 base model, no Bose, no sunroof, leather seats, brand new for around $24,000 in 1993, maybe less.

 

my sticker said...$38,995...thats alot of cheese...touring model

 

^That's about what I remember too. IIRC, there wasn't alot of difference in total 'sticker' price between the R1 and Touring... over Base.

 

Window sticker on my 1994 PEP indicates:
MSRP: $36,500
Floor mats: $80
CA/NY Emmissions Equip.: $150
Pop. Equip. Group: $1800 (leather, sunroof, cargo cover)
Inland Freight: $425
Total Vehicle Price: $38955

Add whatever ~8% tax was in effect at the time...pushing $42000 off the lot, assuming the original owner paid sticker price.

 

THey generally sold for below sticker. I got mine for $24,000 in 1993. A review of the car in Sports Car International

said sticker of $34,000 for a base 94 but dealers were selling 94s $27,000 to $30,000.

 

Here ya go~~~ You can see the price below~~~

 

you have to admit that was a lucky deal, Tom

 

I believe at the time, there was a luxury tax on all vehicles over 30K...so that was a big barrier and along with new model markups, increased the cost even more. My memory says it was a 10% excise tax on the amount over 30K.

 

If he's using the Supra for leverage, remind him that, FWIK, the Supra's were always around $40k, ~$50k by 98. They were, are, and will always be more expensive, for very similiar performance #'s stock to stock.

 

When instituted in 1990 it was 10% on anything over $30k. In 1993, the level was raised to $32k, and in 1996, it was raised again to $34k.

Clinton signed the Small Business Job Protection Act in August 1996 which called for phasing out the luxury tax. After January 1st, 1997, the level was raised to $36k, and the tax rate was lowered to 8%. On the first day of each successive year, the rate was lowered 1% until 2003, the last year for luxury tax.

I paid luxury tax on my '95, bought new in April of '97, but at $37,500, it was only 8% of $1,500 or approximately $120. I got hit harder by Washington State's (then) lame licensing/tab fees, which were over $900.
