  1. Sounds about right.

    The market has changed a bit in the last 3 years, so I guess he can expect to make a bit of a profit, maybe more than double is a bit rich.

    If it isn't rusted through, I would have thought $20k would have been a fair price, but I'm stuck in the 90's.

  2. Oh yes, RX4 coupes, the big boys of the rx world.

    I want one so bad.

    Is a shame it's so far away, I would love to have a look, and see how bad the rust really is.

    I'm guessing as it's a late import , it had been sitting in Japan slowly rotting away, and the rust is in more than just the 3 places in the trade me pictures.

    You never see 4 coupes for sale.

  3. Twas a good number of rotors at rangoon show on Saturday .

    Spotted two rx3 sedans one rx3 coupe three rx2 sedans , one of which looked like an aussie import series 4  with a 20b in it.

    No pictures, because I was too busy getting sun burnt, and didn't want to look like a fanboy.

  4. No one sells , and everyone grows up .

    Price has to be a big factor as well.

    The days of a slapped together rx3 in guidecoat primer on eagers pulsing it's guts out are long gone (damn it).

    You can't even buy a nosecone for what you could pick up an rx3 for 15 years ago.

  5. I guess every old car increases in value over time, as there gets less and less of them.

    that isn't really ever a deciding factor for me.

    I've just always wanted a first gen rx7, and as much as the old school Christchurch bogan in me wants, low, loud,flares and eagers.

    I keep things for a long time, and I know I'll be happier, longer, with a super tidy, original one.

  6. Predictions on whether the mazda bubble will pop, or just go the way of the American car market ?

    I can't see it dropping, but surely the prices can't keep going up.

    I blame discovery's turbo channel. All these numptys think they can buy and sell and make a fortune.

    NZ isn't big enough for that to work.

  7. Doubt it.

    more likely nostalgia than anything.

    50k for an rx3 is stupid, especially that one.

    survivor car or not.

    It's not the og colour,

    it's not the og engine and box, and the owner admits it's worn and needs a rebuild.

    it's all very 80's period with the spoilers and wheels, but thats not really a good thing.

    It's only real appeal is that it appears to have a untouched , unbutchered interior with all the hard to get parts still there.

    that is not the car for a collector, that is a car being bought by someone desperate to jump on a ,hot right now, market.

    wait for it. Every rx will come with a 40k start price now.
