Well practiacally did in my opinion, boosts like a champ!!! Whoops 5.0s left and right! $1400 87TII 160K miles on frame, $30K on rebuilt engine, aftermarket exhaust, everything else works, rear wiper, cruise, power windows, sunroof, minor paint blemishes.

I just marked free because my dad *gave* it to me (I turned 16 and kinda aquired it), but my dad bought it brand new back in 1991. She is a white 1991 convertible, and currently has 66,300 miles.

paid $1500 for my '90 TurboII non-running with a blown rear rotor. In really great shape overall. Total, out the door with a replaced motor, $3000 if I count the miscellaneous nuts & bolts, for a '90 TurboII with a "fresh" j-spec engine, PLUS an extra transmission sitting around.

I am pretty sure i got the best deal.
800 bucks for my 87 n/a with 25000 on the rebuilt engine. only problem was she wouldn't idle. problem solved soon after buying her. 115 total miles on the car. awesome condition and only a little rust on the rear wheel wells. and now she has the true dual setup from mazdatrix for exhaust :-D

Paid $200.00 for it with a "bad tranny". Put a new slave cylinder on it and it was fine. Sold it to a friend for $1000.00 on payments with $500.00 down.
Never got another payment and had to go get it with a bad clutch. Just finished with the clutch and a few other small parts. With title, licence, etc I am about even!

Bought an '87 n/a for RENT MONEY...Buddy of mine didn't want to live in the Army barracks when I was stationed at Ft. Bragg, so he gave me his car if I would let him and his Girlfriend stay at my house for 3 months....they only stayed for 1 month, but I still got the car...
Rent cost $425.00 FULL price...I figure for that month, I paid $425.00 and got a free car...or paid $212.50 for a running FC with paint job...
on a side note....I sold that car to my dad for $1.00 He was having problems with her and since my pops isn't mechanically inclined, but monetarily strong, he took it to Mazda...PERFECT compression in both rotors. It turned out to be the screw that adjusts idle mixture.

Yep...but I haven't lived in Bragg for almost 2 years now...
I'm enjoying the tropical "paradise" known as Okinawa

Bought my 88 gxl in March for 1500 bucks
155k for milage and body had minor dents and dings, also needs new paint job. The interior is clean, and the engine is running real strong. All ive had to replace was the belts plus power stearing houses, nothin major so far. I love the car.
I thought i got a good deal but after hearing some of these posts mine doesent even compare to some of youy guys
