Mazda FC rx7 for sale - SOLD!
|
Sat, 10 January 2004 18:00
|
 |
I know it isn't a toyota, but it's for a good cause (to get my toyota sprinter on the road  ).
the car is a locally delivered 1987 S4 rx7. NATURAL ASPIRATION 13B 6 port rotary.
Car has got a FULL series 5 exterior makeover (body moulds, side skirts, rear bar, front spoiler+bumper, and of course taillights). Costed absolutely heaps for these items. It's also got an re-amemiya style rear spoiler, and type II mirrors.
aftermarket 16x8 alloys...
car is totally rust free
Car has done 210,000 km. Rebuilt at ~190. (so it should last a while yet).
new clutch very recently put in. Mechanically, the car is stock.
2 new mufflers and gasket fixed on the exhaust.
Overall condition is pretty good. The car is very reliable and would make an ideal rotary daily driver. Was going to do a turbo upgrade, but don't have the cash.
Color is white, interior is maroon.
Has got an alarm/immobiliser, central locking.
Thanks for looking.
THE CAR WILL COME WITH STOCK SERIES 4 RIMS NOW.
PRICE REDUCTION OF $1000...
Car DOES NOT come with rego or RWC, hence the price.
more pictures soon
thanks, and rock on

_Why_:not if you find one which requires a new 13b due to rotor corosion and has no other problems. so when u put an imported 13b in which has done less than 60,000km then your looking at a less hassle car than a sprinter with 300,000+km and worne parts

Panda Tofu ^_^
I would try any TAFE courses or an apprentership....doubt uni would have something like that 
IF it is at TAFE, I guess your lookin around 2,000+ for a year or two....
BTW, good luck with the sale man, hope it sells 
P.S - Why aren't there any RX7 drivers in Adelaide that have ballz? I mean every time they look like they wanna drag, they don't....

hey all..

I'll be pretty busy in the next few days and won't be home..
So early next week you guys can come and look at it. I'll contact all those who pmed me by then...
ALSO.. I was after a quick sale, so those who are in melbourne I guess would be prefered. But if it is still available, I've got no issues with interstate sales..
Thanks all.. cya

like most price lower price RX7s.. yes it has had accidents and repiars.. Obviously there is no damage on the body at the moment. Try to get some more photos today or tomorrow.
..
In terms of my sprinter.. it needs an engine transplant.. Maybe a red top.. It needs to get sprayed to look 100%. And also needs some suspension work.
thanks.

no the car's chassis is not twisted.
There are no uneven gaps on the panels. Plus, none of the tyres (which are oversized) scrapes on the guards. This means that all the geometry and suspension are correct...
They were minor accidents.. (not on my behalf.. previous owners).
I was answering the question truthfully, and I do not appreciate you trying to derail my sale by making my car sound out to be a lemon.
If you want to spin such accusations.. come down and check out the car yourself. Until then, I don't think you could comment on the condition..

Yes I did come and look at the car... I didn't go through it with a fine tooth comb but didn't need to. The cost of getting the RWC is the main issue, over a grand is a fair amount. The other issues are the respray job and the imperfections in the body that would also cost a lot to fix. By the time you RWC you'd be looking at not such a cheap RX7. Sorry, just my opinion. 
And, for the guy above... The car is in Yarraville.

Look... I think I may have been a little harsh. I don't know what needs to be done for the roadworthy but was told by my friend that you said over a thousand. Because it was second hand info, I should not have commented on it.
Upon reviewing my comments, I seem to have pointed out all the bad things I saw... Good things I saw was the overall look of the car... Pretty sweet. Also, the engine seemed pretty damn nice.

thanks lang..
Yeah.. for the price, you often get a FC with a dying engine (be it NA or turbo), and just a tired stock series 4 body and rims, and a warped interior. No alarm, etc. Almost in all cases, no roadworthy....
And almost all the time, the standard S4 issues.
That's the number one drawback of the sale ATM, people want the car to be %100. And I'm trying to establish that it's not. If some of the small issues get ironed out it's a nice lookin daily driver.. not a drawdropping carshow/speed beast.
I mean in the trading post this week, there were 2 in my rough price range.
| TRADING POST |
Mazda RX7 1986 white, manual, Unfinshed project, engine need rebuild, series 5 int, Rego, call for more info, Great project $5900
|
The first one didn't say anything about the condition. Could be pretty average. I'm assuming the original interior was poor, that's why he replaced it.
| TRADING POST |
Mazda rx7 1987 silver, coupe automatic, 170000kms, cat back exhaust system, JVC CD, engine in excellent condition, no RWC $7500ono
|
The second one also says nothing about the condition. Just says it's got a strong motor, like mine and cat back exhaust.. But it's more expensive. Also, it's an auto.
I personally think it's alright considering that the car is an 17 y/o car now. And it's a fraction of the cost of a CLEAN turbo collectable (like yours). Also, it's got some new items and a whole heap of expensive series 5 parts.
But I am still having trouble selling it cause it falls short of peoples expectation. personally, I don't think the car is any way a ripp off.
Hope my sale goes well this sunday.
thanks all for the interest.
rock on.

For all those that are interested I have a red series 4 rX-7 that will be up for sale soon. Power everything, immobiliser, Good condition mechanically, body is good (apart from a couple door dings ), new g-grids, well maintained. Has ~195km (no more than that though), interior is very good (only a small tear on the drivers seat). Very nice car, fantastic looking and no accidents (I had it on a hoist the other day)
I will put more details up later if anyone is interested - in a new thread (genuine reason for sale)
