LOL Shane what did you just say? Try writing a bit more precise. I do it too, but I had to read your response slowly and a second time through.

FD's will just keep getting more rare as they get wrecked. Blown is another story. They stopped in 95, they are not about to make more FD's for the USA. I know there's tons in Japan but we live in America and a good 98% of buyers will be looking for a USDM model.

FD pricing, I hope, remains constant. I think it will.

yeah i understand all of this. i agree that the price of FDs will at least stay constant, if not increase by at least a little. i was being facetious about the cars becoming less rare. obviously they will not bc of the facts you and i both stated. sorry if my posts are hard to understand at times but thats how the stuff comes out of my head! i will try to translate it for you guys a little though!

FD's will end up like FC's price wise in 5 years. Now in 20 years, that would be a totally different story. FD's will end up being like the older rotaries. Super rare to find, but not as expensive as they are today.

We drive mazda's, not lexus, so the resale value is not gonna be that great. Just watch, it will happen.

the resale value on a lexus is much worse than that of an rx7. the styling on rx7s was way before its time, especially on the fd. thats why they were able to sell it for what like 9 years without changing much of the body other than the front bumper and some spoilers. i dont know of many other cars that are 11 years old and still sell for almost half of their original value. (im assuming that FDs were about 30k when new.) especially a japanese car that is not really considered "exotic" by many people other than members of nopistons.com and rx7club.com! (i hope this one was more clear.)
