RX-7 99-03 Wanted

[snowy87]

Hi, still searching for a late (99-03) RX-7. Still not having much luck, as they are obviously few and far between. Looking for manual, as standard as poss. Any colour except white. (nothing wrong with white, just not my favourite RX colour) Any help would be very much appreciated. Cheers, Ken. P.S. Kron, is your mate fed up with his red RX yet:cheers :cheers

white is the fastest colour though??

Might be worth speaking to one of the import companys. They would be the best people to source one from.

Thanks Fish, i have tried that route, unfortunately due to rules and regs nothing can be imported at the moment newer than 97. Had my heart set on a spirit r, but thats not going to happen yet, so until then it has to be UK sourced. Phoned TW Whites to see if any of their customers cars were coming up for sale, (cos up to about 2003 they still had brand new imported RX,s for sale) but they were about as much help as a chocolate lampshade!!!

There is one on ebay atm, I check there everday among many other places, still looking for my first Rex

Anyway here is the link.

Thanks Stimp, yes she looks nice, but the mileage is just a bit too high, but i have got my eye on it. Thanks

What happened to Steve Morrisons blue one that was up for sale a few weeks ago? Sounded pretty good! Love that blue, as well!

Price too high at the moment

Mmm, i wonder what the reserve price is??
I\'d guess....12 grand?

There is an 02 black spirit R somwhere for sale. Asking price is £25k iirc. Some one posted it up, do a search.

If I hadn\'t just bought one, I\'d be buying this one

Edit: doh didn\'t realise that\'s the one referred to above!
Guess you have an idea on the reserve now!

Thanks for reply Pete, thats just about what iam looking to pay for it, but its been turned down. I,ve got my eye on four ranging 99 to 01, funnily enough all blue, all similar money. The worrying thing for RX owners is they are all still for sale after 2-3wks, which is why iam reluctant to pay top price. There doesnt seem to be a market for these any more, EXCEPT ME!!! Cheers, Ken

Thanks Mims, Yes i know the car you mean, and i was very interested. Unfortunately it was very overpriced for a repaired car. If the price was sensible i would still be interested. Cheers, Ken

Ken,
This very matter has been one of the topics of conversation recently on the forum!
They can go very cheap, BUT, usually if the seller has loved his FD and knows its whole state, they\'ll want a fair price, as they know the car deserves such.
Try and get more info off us owners re what to look out for when seeing the FD\'s
Take your time!:Giggle
