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...

 

there are a lot for sale locally too, mostly beat up ones though, sucks, cant find a nice one thats non-red or non-cym. with no sunroof

 

people buy an FD and later realize they cant afford it later.

ahem,
remember this, ebay is an international site.
those 22 fd's are 22 for the entire USofA...

still think thats alot?

 

if you get it working, let me know! send me a PM and i will give you half. you could probobly buy 2 decent fd's with half...

 

yep we buy and realize we can't afford it. case in point, me. i did not post on ebay but i am considering selling mine. and to be honest with you i'll probably price to sell quick, because the longer i have i tthe more it cost.

how do you not afford it*? i make about 600 bucks a month and i afford it easy...lol well i only work 15 hrs a week and have no payments

 

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.

ill sell ya mine

 

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.

 

yeah good point and also consider also that more and more people discover listing on ebay every day.

 

yes, bvecause normally there are only maybe 5 of them.

there are tons listed on local sites and autotrader and such
