Beautiful, beautiful Gen 1. Any interior pics? BTW, you mentioned what you have invested, but didn't list an asking price. If you could please, that would help!

[moremazda]

Also could you give a description of what you did to the car with that $10k??

[JShiz]

^Yeah.... 10K is a bit much for a completely stock FB, even if it's been completely restored....

QUESTIONS: $10K invested includes my original purchase price, original certifiied appraisal, transport costs to SWFL (car carrier), replaced automatic antenna, tuned-up A/C, repair to assist cylinoid on clutch, new lifts on rear glass hatch.


I am guessing this number comes from the $8k it was appraised at + the actual appraisal fee + the cost he had to pay to have it shipped, and then a few incidentals.

The appraisal is subjective, and the other expenses are just that, expenses. You can't get those back.

I will trade you heads up for a 2004 RX-7 Grand Touring.

^Mad JDM FD?

Personally $10K is reasonable for a collector who's looking for all original. If the paint and especially the interior is in mint condition, I think $10K is reasonable price to ask.

I had a mint 85 GSL SE and I sold that for I believe 6K. It was repainted, paint was in OK condition, but inside was almost brand new.

But at the same time, current economical state will cause you to have hard time finding that right buyer.

[swfl83rx7]

Thanks for everyone's opinion of the car, it's condition and it's value - without seeing it. The harassment from other users means I'm removing this posting for sale here.

[speedjunkie]

Wow, this thing is incredible! I wish I had the money.

^Mad JDM FD?

Yeah that left me kinda :Wconfused: as well LOL.

swfl83rx7 - I saw this car on Ebay a while ago. I think you must have purchased from the dealer that was listing it (I can't recall where they were located, but for some reason I think it's Illinois. Is there anything wrong with the car, did it not meet your expectations? I think it had 14,700 miles at that point. Another question is why wouldn't you disclose that the engine was rebuilt? I spoke to the dealer and they claimed the car sat for too long and the Apex seals were blown, hence the need for a rebuild. Maybe something changed or you received a different story from the dealer, but I'm just stating what the internet guy told me from the dealer last September. The car looks beautiful, but I was just wondering the cars story prior to you owning it and what you've experienced with the car since you adopted it. Have you had any issues, or saw problems with the rebuilt engine? I am in the market for a vehicle in this condition, but would need to ensure the cars history is accurate and I wouldn't be taking a problem off someone's hands. If I recall correctly, you paid $8K, which we all thought was a little rich, but as you state, it's all relative to what a buyer and seller can agree to. Please let me know your thoughts and maybe ultimately we can cut a deal that makes sense for both of us.

[swfl83rx7]

Thought the site was other enthusiasts and supporters - not haters.

[scorpta71]

Wow, I didn't expect that response. I was just stating what I believe to be the situation. In no way was I trying to slander your post, but I believe my facts are the actual facts. Your car was actually discussed on another RX-7 forum (rx7club.com), link listed below, and as you can see, you actually used some of the same photo's on your profile of the car in front of the dealership. I'm sorry you're so defensive, but I didn't mean any harm. One of the pictures actually shows the VIN with the last six of 736940 (a little fuzzy, but I think that's correct), so only you know if it's the same car. I actually don't think the rebuilt engine matters and obviously expressed interest in the car in my post, but I guess that doesn't matter. I recognize value as well considering I sold my 84 GSL-SE with 29K original miles about a year ago and was able to get over $11K. I think if you read both of my posts, you'll realize you may have over-reacted a bit.

I think it's interesting that my two posts, just stating some facts and asking a few key questions are considered harassment. I think by you deleting your post, you just gave us all the information on the car. I think we are a bunch of enthusiasts, but when someone is trying to sell and they claim they bought from the original owner (when it was actually a dealership) and claim all original, when the engine was actually rebuilt, that should be pointed out. Like I said, you are very defensive which shouldn't be the case because the rebuilt engine isn't a big deal and the dealership took this car as a trade-in. You probably saw my last post and said "Oh crap", this guy has the facts, so I'm just going to delete my post and claim he's harassing me. Just so you know I have all the facts on this car. Car was purchased at Ike Honda in Marion Illinois and I even saved the original listing that shows all the details and had discussion with the sales department on the engine rebuild. They were asking $7,625 for the car, but then put it on Ebay, where it ultimately went for $8K. I tried to attach a copy of the ad from Ike Honda for this car, so if you're VIN is JM1FB3310D0736940, then this is your car. The easy thing for you to do is to take a picture of your VIN and prove this all wrong.

[speedjunkie]

I think he was talking about more people harassing him than just you, if he was even referring to you at all. There were other's responses in this thread that he took too much to heart instead of taking it with a grain of salt, and you might have just been the one that pushed him over the edge without even posting anything bad. Or, and more likely, you're right and he was lying about what he was selling.

[scorpta71]

Thanks speedjunkie. I think the car looks great, but facts are just that and should be pointed out. I see what you're talking about in earlier posts.

[swfl83rx7]

OBSESS MUCH? I don't owe you any explanations about this car or my decision to remove the posting to anyone that is not a sincere enough party to make a personal contact with me. Think whatever you want - clearly it's your obsession with trying to make anyone believe you have exposed some great attempt to fool anyone is beyond believable to me. I don't have any desire to be dealing with anyone so bizarre or obsessed. You kept a posting on a car sold by someone nearly a year ago and you are "stalking" the car? Clearly some issues!

[scorpta71]

I guess we can all just assume that my facts were correct. See, you say it's an obsession, I say it's just something we all call human memory. I made contact in Sept 09 to the dealer you purchased it from and just remembered the pictures. Then when I saw your post on here, my memory kicked in. Yes I did save the ad, that's something called being organized and a little lazy in deleting old files. Not sure how you can stalk a car, but maybe you know more than me about that subject. I see you feel the need to keep trying to win, even though you admitted false advertising when you deleted your post. It's ok that your car has a rebuilt engine and probably sat for way too long. Really, it's ok, you'll get over it big guy.....

[swfl83rx7]

It's pretty clear who's got to rationalize and keep kicking a dead horse.
Whatever gets you through the night buddy.... typical online loser that wouldn't have a set of balls to make any comments face to face like a real man. You are the one that hid behind an anonymous post and accusations. Hope you feel like a BIG GUY now. Clearly you think you have won some HUGE victory... good for you. I've got the exceptional car!

[JShiz]

Someone got caught in a lie and now they're butthurt. classic :rofl:

[swfl83rx7]

If you post ONE MORE lying, slandering or harrassing remark buddy - you will find yourself wishing you didn't. That's a TRUTH you can take to the bank.

May I ask what you would do? The internet is a big, unscary place. :o11:

[JShiz]

Oh snap. Shit bout to get real. Why are you getting so defensive? All he did was ask a couple of questions and you flipped out.

[scorpta71]

It's funny that you claim I'm hiding behind something or my accusations, because I've thrown out all the facts, none of which you could dispute and all of which you've been defensive over. Whatever......you responded in a rude manner to a few people on this site, when people just ask simple questions. Then you can't even realize that I didn't even post that last comment, but you felt the need to issue some ridiculous threat that I'm sure you couldn't even back up. JShiz, sorry you took some crap from this guy on my behalf, but your comment was right on point. I think I can speak on both JShiz and my behalf,and say that I'm really scared right now about what you think you can do to me. Please spare me and don't hurt me. Yes your car with the rebuilt engine, purchased from a dealer and full of dry rot is exceptional. So exceptional, that less than a year after you purchased it, you're looking to sell it. Hmmm, that's sort of interesting. Good luck pawning your problem off on someone else. You should have put your $10K into the south florida housing market, it may have been a better investment.
