not that im a hater, i quite like them, and there are some very nice examples around. i guess its the same as people who spend 15-20k on an old rotary with shiny paint and a backyard engine just coz its goes brap brap brap.


I think its the fact that they were desirable as an old "read cheap" rwd with a decent engine and decent handling, unfortunatly demand has blown up the price. Then again I would say that this car in question would have to owe richie at least 7 k, if not in actual money then definatly in time.

Not quite, the early RX's are reasonably rare now, and always have been a classic. The AE8x phenomenon was really blown up by Initial D and drifting. Still cool cars nonetheless, but more of a cult classic than the early RX's.
1988 KE70 Wagon - Slowly rusting
1990 NA6 MX-5 - because reasons
2018 Ranger - Because workcar
1997 FD3S RX-7 Type R - all brap, all the time
OMG so shiny!

Man ild ask more than $7000.00.
if you put it on trademe i reckon it will fetch close to 9 or 10 max.

Be a shame to see this car go.

And to any potential buyers It Drifts real good. Real scary fun great car.
