I live in Denver, would anyone be interested in trading a rx7 3rd gen for a 2003 gti 20th anniversary edition with 34k miles on it? Let me know

 

What would you sell the 3rd gen for? You have pic's? You should also list your info for 3rd gen owners in Colorado....it's a sticky here on the Mountain section.

 

I guess I didn't make any sense. I have a 2003 gti 20th anniversary edition and i want to trade it for a rx7 3rd gen. I had a '90 but it was stolen and i got a insurance check for way less than it was worth, so my uncle let me have his gti and now im trying to trade the gti for a 3rd gen rx7

 

Just FYI - I had both a 2003 GTI and my RX-7 at one time. I bought the GTI so I could drive to Longmont from Golden every day (90 jmiles round trip). Got rid of it when we moved our offices closer. That 2003 GTI is a great car, good power, nice little turbo, great gas mileage and nicely appointed for a relatively inexpensive car. Just FYI I got about 15k for mine when I sold it, it had about 37k miles on it.

With that being said, I am not sure there are that many 3rd gen RX-7's out there in CO, and the chances you'll find someone with one that wants to trade for a GTI might be slim, however you never know!

I would probably try to sell the GTI first and then look around (in & outside of CO) for a nice 3rd gen. You might have a better chance of getting what you want....just my $0.02 - Good luck!

 

I feel sorry for people who only own a 3rd gen RX-7 for their only transportation. I think it needs to be more of a weekend car.

 

Yeah I know what you mean, when I was 22 and bought my first one (ouch 10 years ago) it went with me everywhere but racked up miles like hell. The GTI I had up until about 8 months ago was a third car at the time....the RX-7 was too precious to put the miles on and with the Jeep gas mileage @ 14mpg, a 90 mile ride each day just could not be done without something that was comfy & had good gas mileage. I really did like that GTI, new for around $22 grand you get a really great car, but three cars is a bit too much.

 

I have 3 cars and im 22, but my 84 rx-7 is the only one that is running right now, my 87 rx-7 is awaiting its 20b conversion (winter project) and my 48 jeep is still not running right, I think it needs a new gas tank... also if anyone in the springs is looking to score a 93 rx-7 there is one at the powers auto park Mazda dealership, I haven’t seen it yet but I was contacted by one of the sales representatives about it, it is an automatic though, that is why I did not jump on it

 

Um, good for you?

 

I hope you know what your getting into on a 20B conversion! It's a lot harder than you may think.....plus fin!ding someone to tune it is a whole problem in itself. BDC won't even do it

 

There are a few for sale around CO, a couple nice one's on the list here as well. I would keep the GTI, get rid of the second Gen and upgrade the 3rd gen IMO. It is nice to have a least one completely reliable car around like the GTI!

Best of luck...
