Acid rain damage
On May 20, 1993, I paid $24,700 for a spanking new R1.
The MSRP was $34,845.00
The reason that I made such killer deal is because of "acid rain damage".
The dealer told me that the car had "acid rain damage" and gave me a substantial discount for the car(about $3000). I had to sign a paint warranty waiver.
The waiver states that "the vehicle suffered damage from acid rain that occurred in the Port Jersey, New Jersy area on or about November 1992 and such damage either is visible and has not been repaired by the selling Mazda dealer or has been repaired and disclosed to the undersigned by the selling Mazda dealer. The sales price of the vehicle was negotiated based on such damage and on the understanding that the damage or any repair thereof will not be covered by the Mazda New Vehicle Limited Warranty."
I did not notice any paint blemishes and made the deal. Over the years, the paint did lose its shininess, I think mostly because it was left in the sun. The car was recently re-painted.
Anybody else buy an "acid rain damaged" RX7 in the Northeast in early 1993? I am curious whether I am the only one who got such a substantial discount for it.
