Hello from a non-RX7 owner... yet!

Hi, I've decided to join this forum to gather some information around RX7s. I fell in love with it since watching Initial D and a YT video from JDM Masters where they show a Type RZ.
I am about to start an extensive search for a Type RZ or Sprit R, which will probably take some time.
Btw, if you have any of these two models, please drop a picture or a link to pictures! I'd love to see your rides.

Welcome. The Spirit R was a 2002 model and will not be eligible for import to the USA for another ~7 years. They are already appreciating and will likely be very expensive at that time.

The RZ started in 1993 with limited numbers released each year, 150 some and 300 others. The ones I've seen don't seem to command largely higher prices than a normal trim import RX7, but mileage and condition are the bigger factor for most buyers.

Yeah, this is really tricky and it seems like there are not many options (none to be honest) besides buy and store. Trying to explore that with a broker.

That seems to have been the hangup for many years with the Japanese market cars coming into the U.S.
