Am I the only one that bought mine new? Got mine in 1987 (RX-7 GXL) new off the dealer's lot and if I remember correctly it was around $19,500.
Engine rebuild last week. First one at 157,000 miles. Only one clutch prior to the new one put in at the rebuild. It has been and is now once again a great car.

All these stories make me feel good about owning RX-7's. Well, my '87 n/a was given to me by my mom like 3 years ago. It had about 67K miles on it. She bought it brand new off the dealer's lot.. I'm still pissed at her that she didn't get a TII, but hel..l if it wasn't for the inspiration of her n/a I probably would have had nothing to do with RX-7s today. I've spent approx. $1,650 on the '87. Bought the '93 Base only four months ago with 70K miles on it. Spent approx. $1,865 on her.. And I know the money spending trend is just begining for me..
