I picked up my 88 se last May for 400 bones. It had a blown apex seal, fucked up hood and fenders. The carpet was dirty as hell and the drivers seat was split open from top to bottom. I have probably spent around 2500 rebuilding the engine with a streetport, new hood, fenders, seats, exhaust and just a bunch of other small stuff that needed to be fixed. The car is super fun to drive and runs great. The last time I calculated my mileage I got 22 on the highway and 19 in the city which was more than I was expecting!

Good thread... gazellis deserves an award or something for still having his seven as the first owner!
I bought an 86 base with 73K from the Mazda dealer in 1995 for $3700. That car was what first got me interested in mechanics, mods, imports, racing, everything... I then went through 5 Hondas and spent a shitload of money (what a shame now that i think about it).... went back to RX7s in 2000 when I bought my 88 SE with 63K for $3200, put about $3K into it so far and recently picked up an 86 with 166K for $850.
The thing I regret most is I test drove a 10th AE in 95 with 80K for $5500 and ended up buying an NA!! I didnt know anything about RX7's... I probably would've ended up ruining it but still.

My first FC I bought in 96, it was a 90 GTU, bought it for about $7000. Really didn't put any $ into it.
I bought my 88 vert in 2000, for around $6000, I put way too much $ into it, prolly around $2500 - $3000.
Then I discovered the wonders of boost...
I bought my AE about a year ago for $2150, and have easily put over $3000 into it.
