Background:
For those who do not know, I am the owner of Rx7 Boutique and my reputation speaks for itself. I bought this car completely stock about 7 years ago with 48,000 miles. The car has transformed several times due to my indecisiveness until I was satisfied with its current state, anyone who has seen this car in person can testify to how gorgeous it is - I have yet to see a car with this level of attention to paint and body work. All pieces of the car were carefully planned and what resulted was a car that flows perfectly which can be attributed to the car shows it has won and is one of the most recognizable FD's on the internet.
This was my baby, I put hundred of hours into this car and what seems like an endless amount of money. Over 7 years I have put 27,000 miles on it or 3,800 miles a year putting the total mileage at 75,050 and only 8,000 miles on the Pettit streetported motor. I took meticulous care of this car, washed and polished at least once a month, never driven in rain nor snow (Florida car) and drove it like a little girl - had it above 100 only a handful of times. Oil was changed every 1500 to 2000 miles. Never street raced or abused. The car draws A SIGNIFICANT amount of attention, if you do not want to be constantly complimented or asked questions on the car, choose another FD. Below you will find a list of mods along with the re-sale value and if that isn't applicable how much I paid for the work. Someone could buy this car, part it out and make a small fortune. The pictures do not do the paint or car any justice, however I have photographed EVERY single issue with the car so the buyer knows exactly what he is getting with no surprises. Car has a clean title and no lean against it, title in hand. Here is the link to my build thread (over 70,000 views) that shows all the transformation and work that took place to get this car to where it is today: https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=811195.
The Basics:
Reason for Selling: Currently I work out of NYC where I have no need for a car and could use the capital for investment purposes. I know I will regret selling but from a financial perspective it doesn't make sense to keep the car stored away.
You can see below that I have over $36,000 into the car excluding the FD which ran me $17,000, resulting in a total cost of $53,000, I believe my price below is more than fair. Price: $22,000 Price 2: No wheels and I exchange the exhaust - $18,500

Pros:
Reliable - Car was my DD for a few years and it never gave me problems. It has the right amount of mods to safely increase power without sacrificing reliability.. The streetporteed motor is great for those who want to add a single turbo or extensive engine mods to the car later on.
Working Cold A/C
Smooth and comfortable ride for long trips
One of the most beautiful FDs you will ever lay eyes on, be prepared for a lot of attention
Great sound system
Light and nimble with good power - around 300WHP.
One of the best sounding FDs, does not have the notorious "lawnmower" exhaust note
Like new OEM tan seats that are comfortable and provide good support
Incredible paint & body work
Cons:
Tires will need to be replaced in the next 6,000 to 10,000 miles
Someone broke off an edge of the hood near the windshield
There is a crack on the driver door panel near the speaker grill where the bolt holds in the bottom portion, not noticeable but thought I would mention.
Several paint chips that were touched up
Automatic - While many consider this a downside, it is great for stop and go traffic, the hold button is fantastic for launches. I have seen several individuals do an auto to manual swap for $2500-$3000 (~$1500 after selling the a/t parts) and it is an easy job
Water dripped on top of the subwoofer where rust can now be see on the subwoofer face
The car is wired for a viper alarm, you just need to put in a solenoid in the door for the locking system, without the solenoid the car can not lock and remains unlocked.
