now they said that they are starting bidding at 800000yen, what do you think this would go for? auction grade 5A ive never seen one that high! anyone dealt with these guys?

[calgarys_finest]

I have talked to them on the phone many times but never purchased from them( i couldnt find exactly what i wanted) they seemed very smart and very helpful.

Thats a awesome low km car good luck it maybe it will sell cheap.

Edit. why does it have bbs wheels(aftermarket) with only 75kms

There is a write-up on RX-7 club and a big thread of a guy who deatailed his whole process of importing a car himself, and i'm pretty sure it was japan auto direct.

It's in the canadian section, probably --- summer of 2007 would be the last post.

there is something about paying 20+ grand for a car that I cant reasonably know anything about and having no option to return it if it turns out to be a lemon. Makes me quesy.

PM renee, she has imported many cars herself... and is very knowledgeable about FD pricing and whatnot.

only 29927.0 kms till rebuild lol

if the mileage is accurate, it belongs in a showroom, save it for 40 years, it'll be like what a 240z is to us now and in pristine condition.

[semograd]

That is a good deal if its actually what it says it is.

Ya and N1zm0 is right, if you bring that beauty over dont butcher it on our roads.

[crewchaud]

If I remeber correct, the "A" indicates the vehicle has been in an accident before.

Beautiful FD otherwise

If that mileage is true it would be a little insulting to start driving it. That thing should be preserved.

Im pretty sure that r a b and 0.0 are used by themselfs to show accident. When they are used with the auction grade it means something else.

Why? It's value in North America is automatically 50-60% lower due to it being RHD regardless of condition.

a car like that belongs in a show room, not on the roads. If you plan on buying a car to drive, I'd buy a normal rx7 thats probably a hell of a lot cheaper. It would be a shame to "ruin" that one. That car is a prety much a collectors item.

[03ozwhip]

nah, im not buying it i have a baby on the way im not allowed haha. but im always on the lookout because these guys bring over 60's-70's muscle cars pretty often. i thought maybe someone that is looking, might be interested.

Nope, when used with Auction grading, that's the grading they give to the interior. Means brand new perfect interior pretty much.

When they use A1, A2, or A3, it just means theres a crack or a scratch.

Email [email protected] has imported MANY cars from Japanautodirect and can tell you alot more about specific cars in stock including more pictures, inspection, pricing and shipping.

75 km ?? on 16 yr old car ??

how could it be? or it means 75 km on new speedo etc??

does it mean 75 K km ?? ( which is low for our standard, but average for Japan, ~5,000 km a yr! )

That attitude is silly, buy what you like and drive it how you like... Hate to say it but its just an RX7 and a JDM one at that. The ONLY time i agree with keeping a car low mileage is if its an investment piece, which this car is not.

Was this the one where the engine blew up on the drive back to Calgary from Vancouver?

Has everyone forgotten the red skyline incident?
