Hey...I was wondering who else here owns an FD with similar mileage to one of mine...in November, I bought my MB Base FD with 5,142 original miles and a 12/95 build date...it wasn't sold new till April 1997 and I got it from the original owner. It still has the original tires (in great condition, no rot) and I just changed out the original plugs (very sentimental experience!). I'd like to talk to anyone else with a similar car about their experiences with it, including any snags from sitting for long periods of time, etc. and just out of curiosity too! Thanks!

 

I bought a 93 CYM R1 completley stock with only apex exhaust. It only has 16k original miles on it. It has the original wires on it, which just went out about an hour ago. I am waiting for them to get to mazda tomorrow. Iginition wires going out is not a fun experience.

 

my 93 has 27k miles on it

 

my 93 had 32k on it when i bought it last January (i know, that's not EXTREMELY low) but alas, its near to 50k now because its my DD and i love it

i know they are nice cars and all... but they are meant to be driven not just looked at... just my $.02

 

how much did you pay if you dont mind me asking

 

I have a friend who has an original 95 FD with only 220 miles on it. He is the first owner too

 

37k on mine.... guess it's not low mile

 

Compared to the 220 and 5000 mile FDs it's not extremely low but my daily driver is a 9/92 that I bought with 11,XXX original miles and currently has 18,XXX. It had all the reliability mods done including a vented hood and heat wrapped downpipe so I expect 100,XXX miles even with my type of abuse. My best friend also had a 12/95 with 50,XXX original but it was sold to him stolen so he returned it to the original owner. There is also a 93 AT MB similar to mine for sale at Marlin Mazda with 1,XXX original miles and never been sold or titled. $50,000.........
I like this thread. Let's post pics.

 

Ash you showoff you

 

haha my FD has 142000 miles, is that low?

 

i rarely drive my fd now, i think ill never drive an fd if it had low miles..

thank god i dont have a low mileage fd, 700 miles shy of hitting 70k yay

 

What a waist of an awesome car.

 

In 20 years you'll say "wow, that's awesome I'm glad somebody saved one"

LOL. Damn son. My FB has less miles than that!! (82K ORIGINAL miles!!). Oh wait, my FB has less miles than my FD, and it's 10 years younger!! Go figure...

 

Bought my CYM with 32.8k miles last April, has 36.9k miles now.

 

I bought My FD with 27,350 miles 3 years ago, it has 18,900 miles now...
I pushed back the odometer.......lol...... Just Kidding!

True story! I paid $22,500 Cash! The only problem I had were two recalls and the water pump gasket was leaking. I guess from sitting for 8+ years in a heated garage. Oh, and shes still a virgin!

I know this orthopiedic Doctor that has an all original 1993 VRTouring with 5,900 miles
Original bra, original car cover, Thick sheepskin seatcovers to protect the seats from the elements and always garaged.

He drives it in to town every Sunday to buy the Paper and back. Three miles every Sunday.
Oh, and Remember he wont like to brake his bones so he doesn't drive too wild! First hand experience I guess being he's an orthopiedic surgen and all

 

Mines a 95 Base, with a built date of 12/95 as well. I wish mine had 5000 some mile coz mine is right at 90000 miles. Just had my motor rebuilt, and it has been taken care of (minus few things ) I love my FD, and it's good in a way that i don't have a low mileage, coz i don't have to worry about always keeping my miles in check. Hell, i am planning on driving the **** out of it this summer.

 

My Fd had 4500 miles on it when I purchased it about 6 years ago. It now has 22K miles on it and it still runs. lol

 

You guys are making me depressed. I just turned 29K the other day.

 

I was waiting for you to chime in...

 

Are you talking about the black FD parked in his living room? Last time I saw it, it had 300+ miles on it...

 

I hate this thread. I'm going out and buying a daily driver tomorrow!

 

You guys are obviously referring to Ivan, right?

 

I've got 32,xxx on my 94

 

Live a little man. If you really wanna keep that FD low mileage, go and buy ANOTHER FD to beat the crap outta it as was meant for it. I just turned over 87K on the original motor & twins, and I'm proud of it!

Who's Ivan btw?
