My Own $18000 challenge

[mp5jeff]

i agree with jflo, you can get a new body style rx-7 for 13000 or less. upgrade the turbo's and call it a day...... or maybe it's the fact that i just love rx-7's

you won't find a 3rd gen in good shape that cheap, maybe 17k but not 13, unless i looked in the wrong places

here they are 13000 tops..... my friend bought a 94 in perfect body condition and ran great for 12500 flipped it and went out and bought another one for 12700 (dont know the year but it was a 3rd gen) . he had to drive 3 hrs to pick it up but i think it was worth it!!

doesnt jackson racing make a Supercharger for the Miata

 

[mp5jeff]

wtf, around here they are 17plus for a decent one in running condition

 

[s6xtysecassasin]

For a 3rd gen RX or a 3rd gen Miata

 

[joka1]

i dont know, when i was looking to buy a car i found one for 13000 in great condition but used car financing is alot harder then new (x-wife stole everything and left me in a s*** load of debt so my credit is ******) around here 13000 is expensive

 

[joka1]

rx-7

 

[s6xtysecassasin]

That sounds about righ 13000-14000 for a 3rd gen, we kinda live in the same area so thats understandable, 17000 just seems to be a lot I was just looking on autotrader and the most expensive one i found in my area was 17200 and it was heavily modded, with new tranny and motor, and a lot of other things that i guess were not listed. But the mean i would have to say is about 13700 for any 3rd gen in my area.

ya here it's 12-13, **threadjack** we should organize a meet between the wa mazda's and the protland ones sometime... i mean they come here for our shows in seattle anyway

 

[mp5jeff]

damn thats cheap, probably cheaper to buy one there and ship it here....

 

[joka1]

yep...oh yeah, if u're looking to find some parts that have been used, but are less than brand new, go to www.miata.net and look in the classified ads. lots of stuff going for sale there.

looking through www.autotrader.com, i found a few '93 rx-7s for 9000...'95 rx-7s r around 13000 or something

 

[s6xtysecassasin]

Yea that would be a fun drive in a new RX from OR or WA to FL, long but fun. Yea we should organize a meet, I really havent even met many of the guys in My area just a couple other P5's and I know a couple of MSP's, but all my friends have subbies, but yea we should organize a meet before a show or something?

 

[s6xtysecassasin]

Good lord I am loving that RX I wonder how many miles, i guess with the reamaining 7 grand I could probably get a new motor and tranny for that. I didnt want to go there with rx-7 but with that pic it just brought it self back in the options catagory.

 

[mp5jeff]

i wouldn't drive an rx7 accross country, bad idea, but i would pay to ship one =) damn 10k thats cheap for that red one

 

[joka1]

glad i could help, i drove a modded probe from florida to ny to here, fun but i was alone so it was kinda boring(montana was cool... no speed limit at the time)

 

[jflo]

those $9000 93 rx-7s were from a long time ago if u're looking through autotrader...damn i wish i could've had one of these...wish my dad would've listened to me when i told him to get one when i was 7 years old ! GRRR
