Actually they are extremely rare now, in stock form. 15 k will get you the car with a bunch of cheesy bolt on crap, a fart cannon, with double or triple the k, and likely in need of new apex seals. The car makes an absolute mockery of an rx8, in both performance and build quality. The car has in my opinion, the nicest interior to grace a sports car, outside of Ferrari, and It is touted as one of the best handling cars ever made, with the caveat they were mucho fast too. It was tough to find the balance of both in the 90s. You got either fast, or nimble, when you combined the 2 you got squirrelly death machines that you didn't dare touch the gas pedal in corner exits.
I talked to a couple Mazda dealers about the car, and they kept trying to coax out of me who's car this is, because they have interested parties on the car, north of $20 k.
Could I get a cheaper one? Yep. But by the time I got it back to stock, showroom condition, I would have spent the same on a higher mileage car.
PS I bought the car on Tues. lol. And already have a guy dangling 24k for it. I am keeping it I think though. It has always been on my list of personal dream cars, and I doubt I will ever have a chance to find one this nice again. Plus it gives me a place to use all my old Cassettes!
