yeah thats well over priced, I would say mint modified FDs at most are worth 13 to 15k.
Plus I dont think that car dynoed at Pips at over 500 at the hubs, maybe you will get that power at around 1.5 Bar on race fuel.

Nice car though good luck with the sale

Don\'t see what the problem is - he\'s selling his RX and this is an RX forum... someone might be interested?

Hello to you, that\'s a very nice car and tbh probably worth somewhere around the asking price... market is poor tho and lots of cheap garbage around/people looking to sell quick...

Good luck

Nice car, saw it parked at Pip\'s last month when I went on dyno.  That wing is HUGE!.....

Got a feeling you may need to reduce the price a tad if you want to get it shifted thou.

yeah jurgen had it up for sale for £22,500 or something like that and you swaped you tvr tuscan for it! dont know why you want to sell it so fast after just getting it! i think he baught it in from japan for £18,000 and has spent in the price range of £30-£40,000 on it(so i have been told off some peopel)! with 3 or 4 hi spec re-builds! but eventhen i dont think you will get that price as he him self has sold over rx-7s with specs not that far off for £10-£13,000 i mean jurgen was tryin to sell it for over 1yr and he stil didnt really he just swaped it for a difo car so will be very hard to find someone who is willing to pay that much!

thanks mate , work for 777 demolition (my old mans firm) , i know the price is a bit steep but i set the price at that because thats the sort of price my tvr was worth , i will be happy with anything around 20k mark to be honest ,

tbh for 20grand u could build yourself a mint and i meant mint car with every conceivable extra and i seriously doubt that u will get anything near that price
there was a 20b done by wgt that never achieved that price i understand
these cars just dont command that sort of price tag.wish they did i wld sell mine tomorrow,,no make that today
if i had 20grand i wld buy an old ****ter and give it to tinker 27 and have a v8 monster then kit it and paint it and wld prob get it for less than 20thou

Yup, 777 seen you guys around in the NFDC and IDE press and so on.  Youve got some decent size equipment!

I work for Thompsons of Prudhoe, mainly northeast based and only 350 people compared with you London types!

All the best with selling the motor.  Tis a shame the market is crap at the moment.  To help you chances it may pay you to wait until summer and take her to a few shows.

How are the Tuscans by the way, ive always fancied one and now that prices are dropping ive been tempted, but I hear they are even more of a time bomb than people think the rotary engines are!

lol yer waiting till summer would be ideal but not sure if could fund the fuel till then and the bill for a hearing aid :Giggle  ,
to be honest mate with the tvr\'s unless its from a well known dealer with WARRENTY ! its like russian roulette, with mine i think i was quite lucky i didnt have too much trouble with it , but i know some ppl where there car spends more time in the workshop rather than on the road . but apart from that i loved mine and do miss it , if your goin to get a tvr try get a model with the rover v8 becuase they are reliable as a horse and kart its just the rest u have to worry about lol

hi wez,,

theres maybe only 15% of the members on here will appreciate the work gone into this car and branded parts it has (these cost money and time),,

the rest will only pay 10k for it max. (they saw one on ebay last week for 6k lol)..

your going to have to bide your time and find the right buyer that knows what monies and time has been spent..

unless your going to let it go cheaper which i dont think you will...

or you can always keep an eye on my stock as we would gladly trade it back in for one of our other stocks that might take your fancy..

Post by: rx7veilside on January 09, 2008, 07:26:53 PM
i think everyone will appreciate what has gone into the car but very few will shell out 20k for a car that isnt overly streetable
by that i mean a clutch that is prob close to an ejector seat when u lift off boost thats prob quite high in the rev range
i dont doubt it is a superb track/or 1/4 miler but its a lot of dosh for a weekend toy and isnt really a daily driver
i seriously doubt u will get anything near to 20k i have never heard of a fd going for anything near this price
what did normski get for his 20b i dont think it was what he wanted and that had had a similar amount of money spent on it
in the end i think it went for around 14-15k which was still high its a nice car but trawl the other forums there a re a lot of supras/imprezas highly modded going for less than this and still not selling
good luck but i fear u might have caught a cold on this one

I would say less than 10% appreciate what goes into building a high class vehicle,most would rather put a piece of crap in their car rather than a branded part.
Nice car by the wes,keep it and show it off to all the owners who slate the price.:chat

That\'s some spec list would you not be better splitting it for parts? Might be worth pricing each part conservatively and seeing what sort of figure you arrive at.

I think sadly the figure of 22k will be seen by many as being way too high,

However if a car is seriously worth the price then hold out for a decent offer to arrive, might take a while but i\'m if the right person wanted the RX they would pay the decent price for it.

Its easily one of the best rx\'s in the country and very well put together, and immaculate in all the right places, hold out and see what you get ? or on your ad put down you would consider serious offers.

Welcome to the club, enjoy your stay bud :Thumbsup!

Think he might be on about ths one: http://jm-imports.co.uk/cars_forsale_blackrx7sequen.htm

his contact details are on his site... got mine from him last summer, still smiling and can\'t fault him. Great guy to do business with... friends have also bought Supra\'s and a Silvia from him too.


back to topic though... Think if you hold out you will get the right person but IMO you have a small market with this type of spec for the exact reason you are trying to sell.

Post by: rx7veilside on January 10, 2008, 12:54:47 PM
its time to be realistic there is no way in a month of sundays someone is going to stump up that kind of money..look around the other forums it may be a very nice car but is is hardly a daily driver and for 20-22k u can buy a lot of seriously nice cars.it is totally unrealistic to expect to find a buyer for this price and telling the guy to hold out is pointless
it doesnt matter what you have spent on a car it becomes dead money and jurgen was very lucky to get a deal when he sold it
i thing this will only realis around 14k-15k tops and will have to hold out a long time for a buyer
this isnt meant to be derogatory just being honest with the guy about what he can expect

Jesus havent people got anything better else to do then put fake adverts.
Althought personally you will find it hard to sell it for over 20k in this kind of market
you car is a very fine example of proper modded FD with all aspects done well.

As people have said it is a high price for an Rx-7.  But i do think it looks like one of the nicest Rx-7 in the uk and does demand a high value.  I hope you dont get fed up of waiting and drop the price too much.

If you think of comparable perfomance cars eg. porsches/ferrari\'s etc etc then it is very cheap.  It doesnt have the name and stateous but i think i would prefer an Rx-7 than any porsche you could get for £20k.
