Piece of history, 1 remaining brand new fd

Salesman told me, $80k. Figured they wouldn't take it, but he said if I was standing there with the cash they would sell it. Greedy for sure, that's history right there. This is so rare, there should be no price.

Yes it's automatic..... What a shame.

Car is located in chilliwack, bc, canada. At wolfe mazda.

Feast your eyes ladies and gentleman.











Here's the sticker. Hard to see price but 40,679 back in 95'. That's a fair bit of money back then.

It will end up in a shop, needing to be fixed because all the parts are still 15 years old and deteriated from sitting and not getting proper care.

the later tan interiors are fine, because most of it is actually black. it's just the seats and carpet that are tan

Guess this is the closest thing to seeing a RX-7 in a showroom. I was 2 when my car was sold.

A fellow in texas is selling a black on tan FD, 1993 i believe. Automatic with only 15,000 miles on it. it might still be up on e-bay if someone wants a super clean car. you could always convert it to manual for a fraction (he's asking 18,000$) of what these guys with their literally new cars want.

This car was on ebay forever for $35k up until like 6 months ago. They couldnt get $35k for it, they sure as hell wont get $80k. I think some salesman was just screwing with you.

That car is a Miami car from Marlin Mazda.
When i bought my car at the end of 1994, this car was in the showroom brand new.
The owner kept the car in the showroom for over ten years. He then sold his dealership and the new dealer (Lehman Mazda) sent it to the auction.

Ironically that car showed up in Wolfe Mazda in Langley last year.
It was sitting in the parking lot in the snow.
The sales manager didnt give two rats about my story and sent me on my way.
Ppl's atitude in Vancouver sux BTW. Glad I left that place

Interior is immaculate (looks new) and you could eat off the bottom of it
