1994 Brilliant Black R2 / 25K Original Miles / LS3 + TR6060 + Cobra 8.8"

I'm not debating you spent the money, but at 2x the typical "high end" asking price for a car without power steering or AC, you're not likely to get that around here.

You can build a car 95% that nice for 50% or less of the price if you do it yourself.   I know more than most on this subject, so you can doubt me if you like but I'm not wrong.

You may find a buyer, and I wish you the best, but if you didn't expect to catch shit here, you clearly don't know this forum very well.

Damn you angry man.

There's diminishing returns on anything. You're not going to get brand new corvette money for a 90's mazda no matter how many internet points it earns you.

Enjoy the car. Get an agreed value insurance policy on it.

Damn you angry man.

lol fucking this. Nice car, hopefully the next owner is someone that has already gone through anger management.

I totally understand that the car is not cheap, but ideally a buyer would understand what is in it. If any of those other "high end" RX7s had 120k in it and sold for 35k... well, that sucks.

Catching shit is fine, at least I thought it would be intelligible and savvy counterpoints. Not analogies to bitcoin and failing to comprehend common sense.

With that said, this forum is likely not the right venue to sell my car. I will be retracting my post in the coming week.

Are you saying you can build the same car for 50% of my asking price or total price? I did most of the work on this car myself, and my cost in parts wouldn't even meet either of those percentages.

Alright I'm calling you out on it now.  You were only given a pass on your insane build cost because of the fact that we would have thought some shop did everything and overcharged you on much of it at that.  That said, now that you have said you did all the work yourself.....I would love to see your itemized price list and total that adds up to over $100k.
In the four FD's I've had (2 rotaries, 2 "mid-high end" swaps) I would say I am not necessarily a dunce here. 
Yours is a $30k car to the person willing to spend that kind of money, plain and simple.  If I'm off, I'm off by a couple thousand.

you never know who's looking or who might be your potential buyer.  but with that attitude..why wait for the coming week. this thread wont last the memorial day weekend. lol

That's a lot of money for sure...with that said I'm having trouble grasping a couple things here:

1) why would anyone on this forum who owns an FD not be quietly sitting back and praying he sells it for $70k which would clearly redefine the market.

2) why, in general, does it bother people so damn much when someone posts something that they believe is over priced? Who cares, move on!

3) for those who are saying "dude, it's a 90's Mazda, you're not gonna get Corvette money"...ya, I said that once about a 90's Toyota...it's called a Supra and a '95 went for just shy of $100k the other day, and they hit the numbers were talking here almost every day.

Long and short, if you can't afford it don't bash him.

Good luck with the sale man...I've followed the build thread, very few exist quite like yours.

[ChuckLee]

I should add explanation to my personal evaluation of the car.  I would NEVER say this car would fetch $30k had it not been for the low mileage R2 chassis, beautiful paint, and clean looking work. 

Most everyone in the "high end" swapped FD market ($30k-$37k) is expecting one or both of these things:
1) AC that works through the GM PCM   (hard to find any of these with no wiring issues and good working AC under $20k)
2) A lot more power and built trans

whooo that is super steep 70k!! but, GLWS. Some one that hopefully gets it has to really really really love the car.

[wickedrx7]

This is an excellent build and for the value of our cars collectively, I really hope you get close to your asking price. It will be tough as you will need to find a buyer with exact vision of the car. No a/c or p/s will be tough. I love the attention to detail and phenomenal interior work but like I said, you will need to find someone who puts as much value into that type of thing as you do. GLWS!

👍glws I see maybe getting 40-50k but 70k seems high even for the right buyer

And yes I have seen the list and pictures

[Ericsworld]

I could do 60k without the Seats, wheels, and taillights.

For 50k, I could take a few more things off and get there no problem.

[Cobranut]

Wow, I hope you get that, as it'd bump my cars value up substantially.
