When i sell my FB (in the next week), i'll be looking to buy a FD RX-7. But honnestly, is it possible to find a running FD and good condition for 10 to 11 000$. I don't care about the milleage, but i want to buy one from the states because they are in better shape in general than our canada's one.

That's pretty what i'm looking for :
93-95
Colours: silver, black, red, montego blue.
Milleage : I don't care until compression is good on the engine
I am looking as possible for a stock car ... or just reliability mods.
Paint in okay shape.

car MUST be a 5 speed. Touring or R1 or Base model, i don't care.

What do you guys think?

Thanks in advance

No.

 

I would say that what you want will be very hard to find for the price you want to pay. You could find a running FD for 10K but its very unlikely that it will be running well or be in very good/stock condition.

 

but... humm it can be easily modified ... i don't stick on the Bone stock condition. Turbos could need a replacement...

Unless you get lucky you will find cars within that price range that need alot of TLC.

 

Let me think about it... **** No!

Keep you car till you can afford an FD or look for a nice FC TII with some work

 

um yes! i got mine not too long ago
117 on the whole car but less then 600 on the streetported motor, set of jspec turbos, DP.
Black with red interior (good condition overall too)
$9.5....= me :-)

 

I think it would be tough to find anything but an AUTO for that price.

 

DAMN! you got a nice deal ... can you show me pics of it please

 

oops didn't saw it is a automatic ..

 

theres a 93 fd in the classifieds today for $10,500, but i live in northern va

 

yes you can, in fact...I found a 94 w/ 63k on it for $10,500

it has a rebuilt title, but ask Demetrios what he thinks about the validity of that title

 

I bought my 93 Fd for $10500 a little over a year ago. 74k miles a little wear on the drivers side leather and a few very small paint chips on the hood. Everything else was good. It lasted a year before i blew an apex seal from overheating.

it was a 5speed touring model

 

you got good deals ... At that price, they sell quickly... I hope to find one even if it's in the winter, when is it the best time to buy an FD ?

 

You can get one running for that price. It'll probably come with some goodies like a Salvage title, and questionable - yet "running" - mechanical condition.

Or if you run into someone that doesnt know what the car is worth... maybe u can get lucky that way, but I doubt it.

 

i think the best for me, is to find a clean titled FD with a blown motor. I heard they sell for around 7 to 11K normally.

I got my manual 93 R1 for $10.8k with 65k mile on chassis and only 500 miles on a rebuild street port motor 2 yrs ago. It still pulls strong and had few common problems(door handle, 5th gear synchro, etc) to date. You just have to keep looking.

 

i bought mine for $10,900 a little over a year ago. the paint was a little rough and the pill from the wastegate and pre-control lines were missing, which means it had been worked on before. it was totally stock, but wasn't a bad deal. i didn't wanna spend 16k-20k on a pristine one only to totally re-do everything on the car. i was going more for the ground-up type of build. but yes, you can find a decent 5 speed for around $10k

 

last year i bought my 93 r1 for $9000 w/72k mi. and a jdm motor w /jdm turbos. it also had dp, catback, pfs pms, rear toelinks, greddy smic, aluminum radiator, and greddy turbo timer.

just be patient and keep your i out.

 

I paid 7k for mine.

 

i bought my fd, red, base 5 speed with 60k on it two years ago for 12K. took me 6 months to find it, mint condition, bone stock. if you look long enough you will be able to get the deal u want.

 

I bought mine about 10 months ago rebuilt motor turbos pettit ecu,ss3inch down and mid pipe 56K on chassis for $10.5k

I got my Fd with 30k on the engine and turbos for $10,000. It had some small dings and needed new tires, but all and all a good deal.

 

How long do you want it to run
