Does anyone know how much an FC was back in the day lol

[Jono FD3]

they were very very expensive cars in their day which is why they didn\'t sell many in the UK and another reason they are so rare!!

Still have the original reciept from when my UK car was bought on 1st August 1992 was bought for £37,995.00

38k?? holy poop.  how much was a porker 993 turbo new back then?

[HaywardRotary]

When the FD RX7 first came out it was £35,000.00
Then they dropped the price to £28,000.00 and gave a refund to those who complained had paid the higher price. after a short term it went back up again to £35,000.00 then eventually to around £38,000.00 for later ones up to the mid 90\'s.
FC\'s were around £20,000.00 for late 89 to 91 turbo11.
Fluctuating Yen accounts for jumps in price,but also showroom price could be haggled,just like today so not everyone paid the showroom figures.

i got an autocar mag from back in the days where they test drove the fd lol
n i got a mazda promo vid tape i kept since i was young, trying to persuade my dad to get a fd when i was about 13 years of age lol

[peterwolds]

got the receipt for the FC 1991 £22500

[dthebuk]

damm. I remember ont he top gear review of the EGi they priced it as 15k. And that was back in 86! In all fairness they are very good cars. I have a yet to find another car to rival the standard seating position and feel of an fc

[m1tch]

The RX7s were sold as an equivilent to the top of the range Porsche of the day, the FC would have been up against the 944 and the FD would be up against a 911

[dthebuk]

top gear did the EGi vs the 924. EGi killed it
