BRAND NEW 1995 Mazda RX-7 for sale - yes, RX-7, not RX-8.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this auction listing.

A brand new 1995 Mazda RX-7?!?!

I wonder where it has been stored for so many years. If, outside, then the Florida sun has gotten to the paint. I doubt it, but it's tough to tell with those crappy pics. If it was a 5 speed, and they didn't want so much, I would consider it. $37K for an auto?!?!

I didn't place this in here as a for sale item, more like discussion. Since, I am still amazed to see one of these for sale as a brand NEW vehicle.

I used to have one (1993 model), and they are great sports cars. The only problem is that when you start modding them, they become unreliable.

dmitrik4 · 11-04-2004, 10:17 AM

my favorite car ever. i'd like to find an R1 or R2 eventually, restore it, and keep it. gorgeous, gorgeous cars. whoever decided to offer an auto should be shot.

That style looks more modern than that ugly RX-8.

RaceCarRiot · 11-04-2004, 10:20 AM

so that means it's been sitting for 10 years, in FL...

brand new '95 RX7 10 years later, $37,000...

replacing every rotted rubber part and seal on a car that's already expensive to get parts for...priceless.

The 3rd generation RX-7 has a timeless design. I remember having people asking me (back in 2000 when the car was 7 years old) if it is new!

If Mazda did a retro thing w/ the RX-7 in a few years, like Ford is doing w/ the Mustank, I would be in interested.

I found out that the car was on display in the showroom for all those years. Why? Who knows?

chexmix78 · 11-04-2004, 10:23 AM

something about the owner wanting to keep it, no?

even then, i'd still be VERY wary of just turning the key.

SkirtBoy · 11-04-2004, 10:26 AM

I see your $37K, and I raise you $3K

photog72 · 11-04-2004, 10:29 AM

It's not brand new though. But, it does have a 5 speed.

timmah · 11-04-2004, 10:32 AM

If you read the window sticker it says 5 speed manual..

EDIT: Beaten

photog72 · 11-04-2004, 10:34 AM

Ummm... look at the options list. and the picture of the interior. Clearly a slushbox.

JGard · 11-04-2004, 10:34 AM

Hotness. Just think, for only $4,000, you can have my 87 RX-7 with only 63,300 miles

note: the description of engine is "unknown" thus showing why an auto is the tranny of this guy's choice.

There's no option on eBay for "rotary". I listed my car as a 2-cyl. in there. It just doesn't matter.

Two years ago, my friend's dad was selling his pristine 1993 RX-7 R1 (28,000 miles) for $17,500. I drove it a couple times, but decided not to purchase given the problems inherent with those cars. As a second car, I'd own one in a second.

Full_Clip · 11-04-2004, 11:49 AM

Teh slushbox

Q: The car is listed as an auto and the interior picture concurs. The window sticker lists it as a 5sp. Which is it? How has the vehicle been stored...more answered on: Nov-02-04
A: it is an automatic vehicle. the sticker shows standard features if you look at the sticker that shows the options on the vehicle it

Full_Clip hopes the buyer DIAF.
