FC Market in Colorado

Doesnt seem to be much of an FC3S market in Colorado. Ive been looking for 4 years, still haven't found one.

I must say, however; the Mile High Rotary club has got it going on. You guys do well to epliment what it means to be a car club. Good leadership and participation. Makes me want an RX7 even more!

Useless post #9828

This one is for sale in colorado springs for 1500$, If I had the extra cash I'd buy it . If you're not a member of coloradoracing.net register and look in the for sale forum. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2212519

This is where "finding one worth buying" comes in. I have a feeling my offer would be seen as a low ball for that car. I have been really looking at it though, im a sucker for FC3S's in the rain. Its almost meant to be when a FC has water beads on its hood and glass. Mmmm.

Im looking for an N/A daily driver. So in the price range of the aforementioned, but in good condition. Can you tell why Ive been looking for 4 years?

A vert would be totally awesome. Dont really have to worry about cold climate with those cause RX7's dont start in the cold anyway. :P

Actually I brought this car today. The body is in very good condition, the interior needs some work but thats ok. It really needs an exhaust but I think that may have been taken care of, other than that I believe its a good car.

Cool, I metioned it cause i saw it in person a while ago and it was a pretty clean car. Finding 14+ year old cars in perfect shape is impossible, they are all going to need work. Hope to see you at some meets.

Can you guys give me a ballpark price on quality S4 FC's that go for sale in the CO area? By quality I mean not peiced together from 10 other S4/S5 FC's. I mean all original, with around 100k miles on the clock. Give or take a few. Do people usually want trades? Have you noticed? Id be willing to swap DD's with them. Convertables are sweet, are those generally more expensive?

shhhh keep that on the DL I'm looking for a garage to put the fd in then I'm gonna buy it and build it up.... and if you can find a good condition convertable in colorado... you're a VERY lucky person... 2 things that don't go good in colorado... convertables and rear wheel drive... it's gonna be alot for one of those around here... I picked up my t2 for 2k with 105000 miles on it... but the rear quarter has a dent, but I've never had problems starting either of my rx7's in the cold... they just smoke a bit for some odd reason.. but it only lasts like 2 minutes... and it only happens under 20 degrees f. ... the real problem is traction when it snows... I have nice winter tires and I'm all over the road.

I just saw two of them in CO Springs on Autotrader when searching for a friend. Both are in good condition, both are convertible and one is like $4k and the other $5k - a black one and a white one. Search Autotrader in CO Springs or just like 100 miles from Denver. Good luck!
