mm, that look alright, eh?  But 7k dollars?  Seems a bit steep to me.

It is an original un-messed with rx-2 coupe which has to be one of the most desirable old skool cars out if you are a mazda nut!! Plastic on the trim!!!!!!!
  pity it is so far away! I am sure there might be a few people in the uk having a sniff at this if it was closer.
 cheers, michael.

Having read far too many US car and bike adverts, I think he\'s trying to say that he wants around 7k US for the car and his dog may be home when the shipping company turns up to take it away...

Normally shipping cross-country is arrange by the buyer but sometimes the seller is willing to lend a hand (or may know someone locally)...

For 7k shipping I\'d expect it to be delivered next day...

I guess what we should also look at is how many RX2 coupes that havnt been modified, messed with etc are left in the world? I reckon no where near as many as people think! Ok, if i had that kind of money to \'invest \' in an old skooler i would be hard pressed to go past Gary\'s. It also seems unmodified etc.
 This is a rare car unfortuntly in this country there isnt the call fo rthem yet...
  So db2boy how much for your 2?? :)

I have to agree with this statement (unbiasedly I might add). I think in probably 7 years of watching Ive had one offered to me from Japan and that wasnt in great shape; but still was demanding a high price (not as high as the minter R100!). The problem with early Japanese cars is they unfortunately dont survive too well :-(

Tell me what you will pay for it and Ill tell how realistic your offer is :-)

If the engine is sorted in time I hope to take it to Era\'s old skool bash.......

I think also what people have to realise about early mazdas, or cars in general is that you have to be quite specific about what you want. Either a 10sec strip stormer or an un-messed with original. Both will get big money but oth will attract very different types of buyers. The market for stock originals is alot smaller too.
  Wont be able to make t to Eras old skool bash as am overseas at the time.
 Look forward to the photos!!
