Well I'm surprised anyone would pay that much. I expected it to fetch around £3k.

Re: The latest 1st gen RX7 sightings...
My guess is that someone bought this and overpaid just by seeing what they are advertised for on other sites...maybe the Aussie prices too, and thought it would be a quick flip. It looks like a great little car, with too many stickers, but a solid car which now will not sell anywhere near the almost 10k.

Just saw this guy post up on Facebook before I go to sleep. Only 3 pictures but it does look quite clean. I mentioned this forum would be his best bet

Reg looks familiar?
Car looks tidy.
Looks like owner traded it in to a dealer.
Tell him I will give him £500

Re: The latest 1st gen RX7 sightings...
I would say that in that condition its got to be £1800 to £2000. The prices are much higher than 2 years ago and if you paid that and the engine is healthy then its a good buy. My 2 cents worth!

Yeh....I thought that then realised I use RXX on my weekly drive car .....MelloYello wrote:Reg looks familiar?

It's a new spot to me although I do feel I should know it.....maybe thinking of that perpetual prize winner A7 *** also red.
From DVLA it's a Jan '86 car, so quite late....normally a 'C' plate so I quess it's on a private plate now.
Important that it's confirmed that the Reg goes with car because IMHO, all else being good, that plate puts around another £500 on it.

Re: The latest 1st gen RX7 sightings...
hard to value a car from a digital photo but if's it's as clean, rust free and original as it looks I'd say 5 grand if it's marketed properly.
