93 rx7 still high priced?
So last Saturday I was driving through a town near my house when I saw this black 93 rx7 sitting at a dealer. It had a license plate on it so I assumed it belonged to someone who worked there, or perhaps it was a customers car. I went in and asked anyway cause the car was the sharpest looking black 93 I have ever seen. The dealer told me it was being sold for a friend on consignment and it was priced just under book value...the price was $15000. I was like, "$15,000? Still? The car is seventeen years old...". Oh yeah, it also was automatic, but it was a 1 owner car with 62,000 original miles on it and it was all stock.
So why do these cars still remain high priced? I mean, I can get an ls1 vette for that kind of money... |
Supply/demand, go take economics again. MK IV Supra is the same deal.

I just got back from st Lucia and while I was there I saw 2 Supras like you speak of, but no rx7's. I just find it funny that a lot of people claim many problems with a rotary engine, and they really don't get that great of fuel economy, but they still are 15 grand after 17 years.

I had enough money to buy a MK IV 6-speed a couple years back. Had been saving for a couple years. After it sat waiting in my checking account for about 4 months while I tried to find the right car, I decided it was WAY too much money to spend on a car that was 10 years old, and would likely have 100k or more miles on it. |

i think total production here in the US was 13xxx FDs produced 9xxx MKIV Supras produced i was surprised to hear that more FDs were created than Supras. ide probably purchase the Supra, even though its a fat pig.. overall a stronger car. although i prefer the looks of the FD, the motor is a big no no. |
LS1 swapped cars are available for the same 15k-24k. 30k will get you a HIGHLY sorted out CLEAN one.

This thread is yet another example of why it's still better to own a miata. Instead of 15 grand for a stock automatic 93 RX-7, anybody can have an insanely fast Miata for that kind of money. Hell, I'm seein 01-ups for around 8,000 in 1 owner stock form...

I completely agree that the price the FD's go for is over the top. There was a mint condition green FD on consignment in Stock Island a few months back. The owner bought the car brand new in 93' and used it as a grocery getter and weekend car instead of putting miles on his Ferrari.
35,000 miles, 6 speed, wood interior trim, Bose stero, 100% stock and always serviced at the same dealership it was bought from. Asking price 28 grand.....sold for 23 grand to a high school kid as a gift from his parents :crx: The car was found wrecked in Key West 2 months later :cry: Personally i'd take a MA70 Supra over a MKIV any day. Love for the 7M! |

Sounds like the old school fox body Mustang. overpriced all day long.
Rx7 for 4 grand - click or......... Rx7 for 19.... Between the 93 Supra or the FD RX7, Supra wins IMO. |

eww... ugly exterior looks and an interior that makes me want to slit my wrists. the mkiii is antiquated and mkiv is a million times better vehicle.
MKIV's are a million times better? Pshh..please. Go home newb. Damn 2010 crowd. |
FD's are still high priced for sure. Never seen one in any form of decent shape for under $10-$12k, a good condition one is like stated, $15K+

I sure do miss the 90s.
3000GT TT 300ZX TT RX7 TT Supra TT What happened to all the Japanese factory twin-turbos? 90s = best car decade ever. |
They all were priced too high for Americans toward the end of their era.
The Supra was slow when stock, but had great potential- crap 80's interior The RX7 was great, but the engines are far from reliable- good interior The 300ZX never caught on, but it really was a nice car with great potential. The 3GT TT- a freakin PIG, eats transmissions, turbo's, and everything else..... Typical Mitsu "quality". |

If your going to drop 30k into a 90's sports car.. why not this one. |
