Sure are a lot of FD's on Ebay

Just about every week I check Ebay to see what kind of cars are going....and damn!

Seems like in the past few months a LOT of FD are showing up there... There's like 22 FD up for sale on there now...

What gives? I guess everyone is cleaning out the garage for a new Rx-8

I think what's happening is the people who bought them after watching "the movie", are figuring out that maybe they should have gotten "teh CiBiC".

nah summers over and no one probably wants to store the car for the winter. Just my 2 cents. Another reason may be the sluggish economy people need the cash instead of a car they only use once and a while.

Yeah the economy is crap right now... Just wish I could build a flux capacitor and get my butt back about two years ago and sell all my damn stock... Usually the first things to go when money is short are the toy cars...

you know you just answered your own question , right? other bills my friend and as much as i love my fd, it is not whats keeping me alive. and because i do love rotaries and the dream of building a car, i am in search of a 2nd gen, that i don't have to insure right away and that i don't have to make monthly payments on. its the grand sceme in life: bils.

alot of the cars on ebay aren't very good. Most of them are automatic and many of them need extensive bodywork. The one that caught my attention was the one with 7k Original miles. Seems too good to be true...but then again =)

Blaa the economy. I got mine sitting in the garage and I have no $$$ since I am working part time to finish school. But she IS paid off. I suppose there ARE people that are better worse off than others and have no choice but to sell it. I don't even have any car payments so that helps a great deal.

I can't wait till the RX-8 comes out so we finally decide who is the better car and who is not.
