depends - if it runs for the next 40K with no probs then yeah it was too cheap

if it goes bang in 3 days - then its about right

its not the best listing to be honest - if i had a car with all those goodies i would certianly do a better write up

there could be a reason is sooo cheap - kiddy/house move/price of fuel

i dont think its the best market at the mo - so its priced to sell in my eyes ?

Ok thanks, how can the write up be improved?
 
It was bought cheap, as the guy had to sell to buy a family car...

the add needs more details, describe the car, how it drives, good and bad points, when it\'s had services, mot, tax, compression results, describe the wheels (think they are AVS Model 5\'s) interior state, any and all mods carried out on it, what ecu it\'s running. The list goes on and on, check other ads and copy what they\'ve used. Easy really, lol. Best way to sell is to make people want it

Thanks for that...I guess the reason for not \'trying\' to sell it to people...is that I dont actually want to haha
 But I will improve it!
 Thanks guys! :cheers

4k seems to be about the right price of a 7 with a rebuild these days .

thats good for me

[Rotaryguru]

Its a little cheap, but as grinder said, the market isn\'t great....

Nor are the financial Markets!!!!:rollin:spank

[grinder]

ahhh so its yours !! LOL

depends if you want to go into the nitty gritty with elec windows , elec mirrors , PAS etc..

prob more useful for a new owner is total miles ( on the chassis ) - any mot - any advisorys , what are the tires like , what are the brakes like

any pics of the mazdaspeed logos on the parts ( if there are any )

what tax bracket its in ( if its a 1.3 then thats superb )

there are loads more to lure in potiential buyers

Way too cheap.  Even if it was just a roller it should bring more than that.  The US market appears to be more pricey than the UK though.  #rd gens are hard to find here.

thing is there are cars going for £3k-£4.5k with recent rebuilds, but there are still some going for £5.5 - £7k it is all down to:
a) how desperate you are to sell
b) condition of the car (asthetics play a big part these days)
c) history (proof of rebuilds - serviceing etc)

[FD3SNuttah]

if the prices drop then thats im happy as i dont own one now :p but means that I can buy one in a year or so thats at least decent as i soooo badly miss driving an rx7.

I think that this advert really needs more detail. Id put in the vitals, such as how much MOT and Tax number of owners and service history, how long its been in the country for etc.  You will probably get hounded by people asking you the same stuff over and over otherwise esp from pistonheads.

Mileage and type of use are a big factor - the engine is only one part of the car.  You need to take into account wear on the suspension, turbos, engine ancillaries, interior wear, body corrosion etc.

:wave

[leon]

hell that cheap for a rebuilded rex?! I\'ve seen shells go for near 2k

[S3TH]

I\'m gona say that\'s the right price... either the paint looks faded, engine bay tired & the lines around the pop ups look off OR the pics aren\'t very flattering... black up those tyres and wack it back on for 5k :Giggle.

this is getting really depressing. I paid 5k for mine in jan. I have just had it rebuilt and it looks like it\'s worth even less. O well good news is I will just have to keep it. :-)
Still least it\'s no where near as boring or bad as buying a new ford fiesta in jan. As that\'s what the car owes me money wise
