I think this thread is just trolling people who now want to buy an FD when they are $30,000

RX-7 Bad Ass
iTrader: (55)
OK, I'll bite.
Purchased: October 2004
Price: $14,700
Year: 1994
Model: R2
Color: Brilliant Black
Engine/Miles: 68k miles, just had a Mazda reman installed
Reman blew up about 20,000 miles later due to my dumb *** . I rebuilt the engine better, been going strong ever since. Car has about 137,000 on it now and damn near all the mods.

Frequent Tool Misplacer
iTrader: (1)
Bought mine through the forum back in late 2017 I believe it was. I was hoping to find the original 'for sale' posting but it looks like the old classified section is finally gone, guess they couldn't keep it around forever.
Purchased: Late 2017
Price: $17,000 ~ $19,000 (can't quite remember)
Year: 1993
Model: Base
Color: Brilliant Black
Engine/Miles: 80 some thousand mile Atkins 3mm engine and around 120k on the chassis
Was Jacob Cartmill's project, he documented it nicely so I chanced buying it (which is why I think keeping a build thread can help a sale by quite a bit, takes a lot of the mystery out of buying). Chassis had seen a few owners over the years; as Aplscrambles said later "Car was sold to a doctor or lawyer or something in Charlotte, sold to a young guy in Birmingham, I bought it, then sold it to LS Swap here on the forum in Charleston, SC, he immediately sold it to I think Tomsn16, who soon, sold it to Cartmill". It was a great running and driving car with '99 twins tuned by Chris Ludwig and pulled like a champ 'till the oil pump let go two years later. I dropped in a new engine, single turbo, and now it's even more of a blast to drive. This car has taken a lot of my money (so far and will continue to do so), but the return-on-fun investment is so high, I think it's some of the best I've spent.

Purchased: November 2018
Price: 24,000 USD
Year: 1995
Model: PEP (Touring)
Color: Montego Blue
Engine/Miles: 101k Chassis, 5X,000 on the motor, 3 previous owners
Came with '99spec turbos, turbo timer (unplugged now), water injection, greddy SMIC, PowerFC, Aluminum AST and all the spare stock parts taken off of it
I definitely overpaid for mine, but I was a bit star-struck having rarely seen an FD in person before this.
Despite the good PPI, I did everything they tell you not to do when looking at used cars - I saw it and instantly got attached to it, overlooked some small niggles here and there, and didn't use a lot of factors to lower the price.
It's only by luck that all 3 PO's took such good care of the car that it's been so dead on reliable. I rely heavily on the forums to do my part as the current owner.

I may have one of the highest prices on her but I have my dream car… Wanted an FD since I was kid growing up playing Gran Turismo. So obviously I have adult money now and can buy said dream car 😂 car bought through RHD Specialties too so that may reflect the price a bit. (Another overpriced jdm importer)

Loved the car when it came out, love it now. And now that the prices are high... I'm keeping it! Some greed involved as well, I guess.

She currently has 68000. It's been sitting in my garage untouched for 5 years in need of a lot of TLC. Watching all of Rob's stuff on Youtube has made me want to resurrect her. So that project will start soonish, God willing.

Purchased 1999
Price: $17k USD (in 1999).
Year: 1993
Color: Montego Blue Touring
Mileage: 6k miles. Now sitting at around 60k miles.
It was a weekend toy for a collector that had about a dozen cars and traded the RX-7 in for an Infiniti SUV for his 16 yr old kid.
Like the above poster @RX-8 it sat for 6 years in a friend's garage. I brought it home this summer, bought a lift to store it. And am slowly getting it going. Runs fine, and puts a smile on my face every time I take it out. Still a project car though.
