Owner is asking 19.4k USD

Sound like a good deal for a rare car?

 

I'm not sure of how good the deal is, but I noitced your in Mississippi. You might want to check into what takes to get your car into the states.

 

Oh, Sorry, I am in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

I've checked out serveral FDs and this is by far the best condition..
Almost showroom quality.

 

pics?

 

unless a 1995, still too much $$ (no idea WTF 25th Anny year is)

 

It looks like this.



One of the forum member is selling it.

The 25th anniversary edition is to celebrate Mazda's 25 yrs in Canada.

 

Looks like a steal to me , I would get it before it is gone , just get the normal checks on it , and buy her

 

Personally, I feel it is well worth it to pay a premium on a pristine car; as opposed to paying a few grand less for a car that's beaten on or has hidden existing problems.

 

Seems very high for a car with those miles (should have well under 30k miles for that price). I would not get caught up on the 25th Anniversary thing - almost nobody has heard of it. It is not exactly a Spirit R.

 

Yeah, I know what you mean. The 25th anniversary is a Canada ONLY model.

The reason I am thinking about it is because I have checked out various FDs and they are all thrashed....really hard to find one in Canada.

Also, bringing it from the states is a hassle with taxes 15%, duties 7%, paperwork and bumper conversion (~1500) and exchange rate.....

 

I'm sure you know better, but check to see if there really is something called a 25th anniversary edition R1 (unless you already know there is). I've heard ppl selling FD's call 'em all sorts of things, even special edition R1 touring, etc. 95 CYM, lol you name it. I haven't heard of this 25th anniversary thing before, and most ppl on here prob haven't either, since most of us are in the US. Also, isn't the R1 quite diff in Canada? Diff options/package?

 

Well it may well be worth it to you if you are having trouble finding a nice one. I know that when I was looking, finding one that did not have a beaten up interior or bad paint was hard. There is a pretty good supply where I live though.

 

92 was the 25th anniversary year, I only know that because I found this sweet ebay auction last night.

I think you should get it and that car. Have a matching 25th anniversary set.

 

25th of what? Wouldnt it have to be a 2004 model to be a 25th anniversary model?

 

25th anniversary of rotaries. As per that ebay clock I posted

 

Ahh, I wonder why the 10th went off another year then.

 

pd_day,

I'm telling you get the car!! You've seen how difficult it is to find FD's around here...

As for the rest of you, Mazda created R1's and R2's only for the North American market. Canada never got the chance to get R1's. However, to celebrate Mazda's "birthday" in Canada, they created a few models that were 25th Anniversary.

Here are some pics...

Basically it was an R1. Only choice in colour was black. Otherwise it was exactly the same as the US R1's...

You learn something new everyday!

Lates,

P.S. pd_day go get that car!!!

 

Wow...talk about rape. 22% in misc taxes and fees?? And bumper convesion? What's the deal w/ that?

That's what I thought too, but I wasn't sure enough to say so decisively.

Get it while it's up for grabs!

 

pristine car for a pristine price

 

Hey man let me help. I have a 25th anniverssary R1. It goes like you said the car come with cruise and stickers and special mats. They exist only in Canada. It's an R1 with cruise. Not offered in the states. This car is well documented on the forum, It was offered for sale in December ( I think) If it makes you feel any better I paid $20k for a bone stock R1 with 94K on it last summer. Hope this helps.
