How old were you when you got your FD?
 

Like the title states. How old were you when you got your FD? Sorry if this has been started already, someone please give me a link to it!

Thanks.

just went 18 when i got my fd. was in 2007:icon_tup:

bought it bone stock at age 16 in 2003

bought mine march 27th 2008

at the age of 17

Insane. You are my hero. At 16? Wow. Unless your parent bought it for you... not that there's anything wrong with that right?? :scratch:


It would be nice if you answered even vaguely, for the under 18 owners, how you afforded a FD.


Thank you

first FD bone stock at 19 in 1998

current FD almost bone stock at 26 in 2005

Bought mine at the age of 20 back in 2000. All my money. Still got it.

2 years ago @ 30.FB when I was 14 to tear it apart(engine)and see how everything worked..........stuck on rotary since then

Still waitin' on someone to comment on how they afforded on while being under 18... I would really like to know! :)

save up have your parents help you out then pay them back thats what i did. and it works good dont have to worry bout repos or late fees.

Thanks for a new idea

23, Oct-November 2006. Paid cash for mine courtesy of a deployment to the Gulf =)

Bought it at the age of 19 last year.. Funded it through the business i have ran since i was 16. Three years of operating my own business to save up for the FD, Now 20 years old and business is booming.

i am 18 and got mine a month ago.
i have had a job since i was 15 and i am smart with money.
Hence i could afford it without any help.

Got mine a little over a year ago I think. I was 17 and had been searching for the right one for 3 years. Decided I had to have one at 15. Had my dad pay for it in whole so we avoided paying interest. The interest we would have paid was slightly reduced and pasted on to me, I have to pay my dad back in monthly payments with some interest. Either way, I'm one of the few people I know that has one of my dream cars already. Actually the only people I know that already have their dream car are all rotary owners.:lol:

was 19, two years ago.

I was 21 when I bought mine bone stock back on December 31st of 1998 :)

50

20 when I bought mine in April 06

I was 21 when i got mine, have had it since the start of this year

I see Red95FD are in the same boat or at least floating close from the Titanic. Got mine at 45. Took me more than half my life to be able to afford a sports car. Bought used with 4000 miles in 93 or 94. Too old to remember and too tired to check the title.

93 Touring

26 1998

hmm may I ask what business you are running?


Also, anyone regret their purchase? If so, for what reason?

Porn shop

Lol kidding

19, got mine two months ago.

I was 23 years old when I got mine on April 8, 2005.

50% of the time. I look at how much different my life would be if I hadn't bought this car.
two more months until it gets stolen like your FC, eh?

Was almost 17.
Also recieved it bone stock in Sept 96 with 50 dealer miles.
Its a 95 PEP Chaste white Auto.
Still have the girl and she's only got 50K on it
but far from bone stock many years and $$$ later, but well worth it.

I was 19 when I bought mine back in February 1999. :)

i anit got one yet help me

Wow almost 80% of you FD owners are under 30.

I was 20 when i got mine in April of 2007 for cheap from auction almost done with bodywork, preparing to take it to the paint shop and its going to be on a road soon.

Also up to day I have never drove an RX-7 in my life before. don't even know how i end-up getting it. But i like it so is almost all of my friends.

bought it at 18 in 2003 and ever penny (40k+) has come out of my pocket and it was money well spent thus far... at least i think so my fiance might have different thoughts.....

Bought mine in 1995 when I was 30.

So this thread does indeed back up the theory that the FD is getting into the hands of younger drivers nowadays.
I know a few people that have had their FD longer than I have - waiting on them to post if they are even on here still.
Gene, the car's looking great btw.

I was 23 when I bought mine, back in 99'

21

16 April 2001

I was 16 when i bought my first one in august of 2003. I saved up 8000 from working since i was 14 and got a loan for 4k from the bank. It was fully paid off when i sold it, and i now have an m3(which is for sale if anyone is interested :) ) so i can build an ls1 fd :)

Hey thanks Tim, we're one of the old school fd owners. :) remember being on the rx-7 mailing digest back in '98 or so? hahah

I had been 24 for a month when I got mine last fall -- it was supposed to be my birthday present to myself. Paid for it in full -- after lots of savings, living thrifty, etc.

A couple months later I paid for a rebuild and street port, too. I'm sure after break in is done, there will be lots more money into it, too. :icon_no2:

I am fortunate enough to have wealthy parents. They bought the fd, i have put over $25,000 of my own money into aftermarket items. Funding was sourced through working at a very high end restaurant making $400+ a night. I also whore my self-out occasionally.

Your dad charges you interest?https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/lol.gif
