Good morning all,

Was just a quick question for you,

Roughly what price would I be looking at for an earlier type RZ ('94) with average millage.
- No rebuild that there is documentation on
- Reportedly good compression stats, but without any documentation indicating it i'm not taking this as a definite.
- Car started without any issue was my only guide on this.

I might have the opportunity to buy one but with how much the prices vary on autotrader, pistonheads etc. and these cars not being an RZ, i'm not sure what ballpark I should be in.

Think I posted in the wrong section previously so please ignore that post, will try & edit/remove (sorry).


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers all,
CJ

Hi there all,
I am currently on the lookout for a rex and thought here would be a good place to start!
I've come from a nap car background and the rx7 has always been one of those cars I've wanted but never owned.

Have watched a few come and go and seen the prices vary a fair amount, but i'll put a v. rough idea of where I'm at with what I'm looking for, still learning about the car & its variations so apologies it's very high level.

FD model
Rebuild carried out with docs to prove
Budget, around £6000

I know that's rather high level atm but found its easier to keep it that way when looking initially.

If you have anything then please let me know if you have anything that would be great.

Cheers all,
CJ

ok bud, will give it a go and let ya know how i get on

Well i have a while of looking round yet before i get the car so ill keep my eyes peeled You got a bargin there dude! and from such a random place, lol.

On an insurance note, has anyone purchased their quote via the Autotrader insurance search. Was everything ok that you entered - ie. did the insurance company accept that the mods had been added on the autotrader site and so do they still apply to the actual policy.

Hope so

well as i though, had a look round for a uk spec rx7, and they are very few & far between. Am thinking they will probably be higher priced as well (because of the insurance perks of a UK model)

Thats def the kinda quote i would like!!!
So is that a UK twin turbo gen 3. Could i ask what year it is? Only problem is finding them. Arnt the UK spec ones like pretty rare to find?

(if anyone could help with this would by helpfull )

ahh, (didnt know there are no 96 UK cars) not 100% up to speed on the complex model history of the rx7 yet
Randomly got a call today from Ensign asking me about the quote and that so i though see what they would quote me via the phone. Got round to the car details explained about using ur plate and that, got that it was an import, said it was a 2.6 and the girl was like "2.6 auto yes" and i said, no its a manual. "Oh" she then said. We only have the 2.6 auto on our system, so cannot cover you with the 2.6 manual...
She then offered to put me though to some other company but i said not to worry as was still looking round.

Why couldnt the stupid DVLA leave it as a 1.3 save all this confution. 2.4 - manual, 2.5 only auto. arghh lol

Now i know the is bound to be in the wrong section, but i couldnt find anywhere i should post it. So please dont shout at me for this being in the wrong place. Someone can delete it as soon as i know the answer to this.

Well basically its a forum problem im having in that i cannot send PM\'s. I get some kind of message about having restrictions on my account. Is it because i am not a paid member on the forum?

Sorry again about the wrong section thing

Scuttle, so when i used ur plate opn that auto trader insurance thing, it still asked me to enter the car make model, etc. I went through it answering the questions with ur details and then it did the quote. It didnt ask me if it was a jap import at any point. Does that mean it knows its an import or will it have calculated it as a UK car???

Just wanna make sure that quote is DEF correct

Car details it shows are: 1996P MAZDA RX-7 2.6 TURBO COUPE 3DR

who was that with if ya dont mind me asking mate

Im from Hereford dude £1300 would be an awsome quote but i dont know if id get near that due to having a years less no claims and it would be my primary car.

Haha, just noticed ur from Kidderminser, you will know Hereford then

AWSOME i added bodykit, alloys, suspention alterations, and exhaust alterations and the quote came back at £1874.63 fully comp.

Wonder if i called somewhere like Adrian Flux and told them wether they would attempt to beat it. £1600 would be even better

well just did a quick quote, the 6 quotes ranged from £1874 - £2061.

but that was listing the car as having no modifications. £1800 isnt too bad, but want to ensure the insurance peeps know about the modifications. Not playing the "not tell them" game lol.

wow thanks mate. Yea the plate would help a lot, as it is hard getting all the details correct. Appreciate all the help from ya mate
Want my rx even more now so i can be part of the forum more (not intended to sound lame)
