I'm heading up to nova this weekend (fri, to visit parents/help sister move) if you want I'll swing by and you can sit in my fd. see if it fits you. lmk

*previous owner switched to the base seats when his r1 seats wore thin though if it matters. back half of car is also torn up due to installing a new battery and battery tray, which i haven't done, so its just missing the middle of the car in terms of plastics and such.

Anybody want to buy that fd that I found? I’m thinking that I’m going to sell it and pay off part of my school loan, and do some more work on my turbo fc.

Good:
Touring
73000 miles
Good compression
Boosts good
Good body.
Mostly stock
new tires

Bad:
no 5th gear (no grinding like a bad synkro (sp), just nothing there)
Rear bumper is burnt
Needs some miner body work and paint (there is some plastic in the fender that needs to be ground out and done right, nothing major)
Dash is painted red

Pm or call me if you are interested, I’m not sure how much to ask for it, so I will consider offers.

https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=727214

I have decided to ask $10,000 for the car, some might say that that is a bit high, but I’m gong on the fact that a roller can go for $5-6,000 and one in good shape for $15-20,000 so I’m shooting for the middle. If I don’t get that here I’m going to e-bay it.
I had several people ask for better pictures of the damage and of the inside, I will get that up on Sunday (I’m kind of busy this week), but I will say that the inside is good (except for the dash), with no missing pieces. And most people would not see the plastic in the fender if it were not chipped.
I am not considering trades.

10k is high, but it's a good starting point. Hell, I only paid 10k for mine. Wanna sell the passenger side fender?

Actually, I don't know enough about your car to comment on the price...

Hey guys, I have three GSLSE gas tanks that I would love to give to somebody. I don't want to throw them out. Excellent for you guys trying to turbo your first gen.

Free to a good home.

The 1971 Mazda R100 is not included.

I Have what's left of an 85 gs sitting in my parents driveway in Chesapeake and I'm trying to finish parting it out. Here's what it has left:

-rebuilt and streetported 12a with less than 1000 miles on it. Chris Rogers in VA Beach built it a few years back, and it hasn't seen much action. I paid 1600 to have it rebuilt, and I'm willing to take drastically less than that now.

-GSL-SE suspension. The rear has new axle seals and bearings, pads, and resurfaced rotors. The fronts haven't had anything done to it yet, and sat outside at one point.

-Glass, dash, oil cooler, transmission, summit fuel cell are all available. Give me a call or PM me about anything. Make an offer!

Ok it looks like I do not understand something when it comes to the value on the fd.
I was going on what I was told, I will reconsider and post a new price.

I didn't say it wasn't worth 10k, I just don't know enough about your car to say it's worth that or more.

I posted in the Richmond section and got flamed a bit over the price, so you are not the only person that I am reacting to.
If you are going to be in Norfolk and have some time let me know, I would like you to swing by and give a quick assessment of the car.

Yeah, but everyone bitches about the price of FD's. That's why our cars haven't kept up in price as we'd like. There's alot of variables in the "market" value for a car. But if sellers are willing to sell for a lower price, then the perceived value goes down. If you're in no hurry to sell the car, pick a price that you think is fair and eventually someone will buy it. I'll check what's going on this weekend and I'll try to stop by.
