All the FDs with CD players have the same CD player, the Bose equipped cars use a non-amplified head unit while the others are amplified. The Bose cars have amps in the speakers.

No 1995 FD came with Bose anyway, Mazda dropped the Touring for 95 and with it the Bose option died. In 1995 there was PEG/PEP, Base and R2 models available.

one 1/4 mile at a time, now thats alot of track time

 

I'd hit it!

 

If it was a 93 R1 in CYM, that would be a lot more interesting... with the automatic in a common color... ehh... I'd rather buy a nice looking used one for around 15k and then have 10k for mods and another 10k left for a beater

 

Automatics suck! Sorry auto guys, but I had one for two years and regretted it every day. I sold it. Now I'm looking to get another FD, but I won't even concider an auto. Not to mention that $37,000 is way too much. I understand it's never been titled, but it is almost 10 years old. I'd rather buy a used one for 1/4 the price and not feel guilty about driving it. Why the hell did they make autos anyway? Sports cars should only have manual transmissions.

 

So using your method of shopping for vehicles...you'd only pay $8K for a '95 Ferrari? The RX-7 is NOT a bloody Honda for crying out loud. If you want a sports car then you'd better be willing to pay for one.

 

I am willing to pay for one... Just not $37,000. To keep it's value, you wouldn't be able to drive it or tune it. So what's the point in buying it unless you have a collection of cars you don't drive.

 

Its worth the money. Everything has its price. Just because many people complain that its not worth it doesn't mean its not. What it means is that they wouldn't pay for it. Yes, it is unfortunate it wasn't Silver or White with a stick. But if it was, it would be $60k? Maybe even more.

As for the tires, they are still considered new because the car hasn't really been driven buy 120 miles. Its probably the original tires on it still. I bought a '96 Spyder VR4 with 9k miles with the original tires on it. It wasn't dry rotted or anything. As long as the cars are garaged and covered it should be fine.

 

143 miles????

hmm u know that those miles are probably were from test drives

and u guys also know that when we test drive new car, in this case a sports car we rev the sh*t out of it, rebuild anyone?????

i wouldnt buy it for that reason (o and its cuz its auto)

I like to see someone pay $60,000 for a stock RX7. Don't get me wrong guys, I love FD's... But that doesn't make them worth any more $. Dude, I'm sure some jackass will buy it for $37,000 and boost the prices up for all of us. I'm sure the car will be a collectors item one day and be worth $60,000, but it isn't today. How the heck does an RX7 sit for 10 years and nobody drive it? They must be the jackasses.

 

A person is a jackass for not driving a car? Don't just throw in "jackass" when you don't know what you're talking about.

 

I have a picture of this at home. ive talked to shawn fanning a bit and he had a very mint 94 Silver R2 that had really low miles and I dont believe the CYM was his, it was a friend I think. But yes, he had it with window sticker and all in his living room!

Im at work right now, but I'll post the picture when i get home later

 

And what about every FD in the world? How do you know they werent test driven? what a stupid answer

 

The car must have been in a 10 year time capsule.

 

They stickered for ~$34K. They sold for much less.
And the reason that they were selling for much less?
The same reason why, I believe, this one was never sold - lack of demand for them.

They will have to sell this for much less than what they are asking for.

 

This is a sign of envy. Why does the buyer of the $37k RX7 have to be a Jackass?

 

OK NOW! Rebuild after 143 miles, sure ok. You must be one of those drivers that drive the **** out of the RX7. I don't think anyone with common sense and courtesy will drive the **** out of a car they don't own.

 

Not true! I sold several RX7s. Recently sold a 1995 RX7 for $25k with 40k miles, the owner decided he didn't want the car after one month. He resold the car for the same price. A lot of guys on here don't understand and appreciate the rarity of the FD now. Sure there wasn't a demand for a $40k car back 9-11 years ago, because the economy was down and everyone was demanding a economical Honda. But now the guys who always wanted an FD back 9-11 years ago has the money to buy one. Problem is that there isn't any more new FDs. So the next best thing is to buy a low mileage FD in mint condition. In this case they will pay the market demand. How many low mileage mint FDs are there out there? Not many. Not sure if many of you know about the MKIV Supras but some sell for more than new. The Supra is even rarer than the FD in turbocharged form. Why do Ferraris go for more than new? Take the 360 Modena as an example. Low production high demand. Unfortunately the demand for our cars wasn't back 9-11 years ago, but the demand is now and in the future. 20 years from now we will remember how raw of a sports car a FD is, and will pay a pretty penny for a very nice one. It will be sentimental for us true FD lovers. For those who don't care, the FD is probably just a regular fast car to you.

 

A car is meant to be driven. If you want to collect cars, fine. I wish I had the $ to do that. I was making a joke saying "How can you have an RX7 for 10 years and not dive it?" Meaning I wouldn't have the will power to not drive it.
Whatever. This is a stupid argument.
Oh, Diablone, I didn't know you were a professional car collector and appraiser. Is that what makes you so qualified to discuss what it's worth and why I don't know what I'm talking about?

 

i dunno, i'm not really that against autos. i think it's nice 'cuz it lets a lot of people (esp us stupid americans =P) to enjoy special cars like the FD. and if i were married or have a gf and she doesn't drive stick, then it's nice to let her be able to enjoy it as well. plus it's so convenient. when i'm stuck in traffic here in LA, lots of times i wish i had an auto. i mean, if i were really rich and had lots of money, i'd have 2 FD's, one i have now and a nice auto touring w/ all the goodies as my "commuter" car

but yeah 37k is a lot for this car. if it were an R2 or something special, then it's different. it's still nice tho

 

Maybe to you, it is. Once it's driven off the lot, however, it's just another used '95 automatic, and they're not worth a hell of a lot right now. The only distinction would be the low mileage, and like danmc77 said, that's only worth something to a collector.

Then why would the add make a point of mentioning new tires? They probably developed flat spots from sitting so long without moving.

STORING TIRES MOUNTED ON VEHICLES
It is best to store a vehicle on blocks to remove all weight from the tires. If the vehicle cannot be blocked up from the storage surface, completely unload it so minimum weight will rest on the tires. Keep tires inflated to recommended operating inflation pressure. The surface should be firm, reasonably level, well drained and clean. Do not store on blacktop or oil stabilized surfaces.

Move the vehicle at least every three months to prevent ozone cracking in the bulge area and also to prevent a "flat spot" from developing (due to strain from deflection).

 

Jim, a FD with only 1** miles is meant for a collector and not a driver. It is quite obvious. Thats why I say its worth it. Like I mentioned earlier, some people see the FD as a regular car. Some people see the FD as something special, I see the FD that way.

Who knows how the guy stored those tires, maybe he did do exactly like you said. Sure he wants to mention its new tires because literally they are new with 1** so miles on it. People may automatically think its dry rotted or has flat spots like you mentioned, due to age. Or maybe the car was driven 1 mile a week or something. Who knows unless you talk to the owner.

 

You seem to, unless you're just making a lot of assumptions on his behalf.

 

I'm making assumptions just like you are making assumptions that he didn't properly store the car.

 

Hah!!
(1 mile/week x52) x ~8 = 416
