one like yours would go for about 1000-1500usd. i paid $350 for my 83 it needs a motor, and paint etc etc. finding good ones here is hard too, they have all been at least repainted, if not wrecked and fixed badly

Rx's are expensive thats for sure.If I get this FC I need a engine and paint for it so by the time its ready it'll be about 5g's with some polished 17's from my friend who has a set.

cool :bigthumg:

Some people are absolute dreamers!

Theres a guy who advertised an 84 (same as mine exactly), but the ad said it was unlicensed and damaged. He was asking $2000!!!!! I paid $2200 for licensed and no damage!

But the funny part is, today his ad is in the parts section and reads:



Mazda RX7 coupe, 1984, auto hatch, 2dr, 12A

motor, all extras, unlic, suit restoration $1500ono



Bwahahahahaha !!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/moon.gif



Such an uneducated soul. Doesn't coupe mean 2 doors and damaged now means suit restoration after a $500 decrease. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/dunno.gif



So anyway, I ring this guy up and I said, will you part it, cos I don't need the whole thing, I've already got most of it already, just need like drivers door and rear bumper, etc.

And he says, NO, he wants to sell it complete.



Maybe if he was selling it for $500 complete, I would understand, but $1500, what a dreamer. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png



So anyway, I'll let him sweat another month, (cos theres NO WAY he'll sell it at that price, ever) then ask him again if he'll part it. If not, I'll be nice and offer him $700 or so for it.



But seriously, I've seen worse than that, I once saw an 84 advertised (last year some time) for about $9000, and the advert said it was in original condition. hmmm, Only if you NEVER drove it and had it garaged for the past 19 years would an 84 be worth $9000.

Out of curiousity, has anyone thrown all the AC components on a scale to see how much weight they actually removed?

the ac bracket in a 1st gen is iron, it feels like 30+lbs by its self, the condensor is maybe 5-8lbs, compressor is 10+. its enough you can feel it

IN WA all the parts seam cheap. here in Victoria a bone stock S3 sell for 4500-6000 with rego ect..



2000 for that one you discribed is a bargin for s S3 in that condtion.. though the 2nd ad makes it seam suss...



My car is currenttly being reverted back to stock and will be for sale for about 5500 (havent decided yet) and i expect it to sell within one week without hassle!

good cars for that price go quick!



i decided to sell it in parts, then the car stock as i will get a extra 2k for my troubles.

and i had a offer for 10k for it!!! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png ... but the mods on it have a replacment cost of 10k

and a extra 2k is 2K!!!! :bigok:
