Getting a 2nd hand Mazda RX-7 1996

[Supra_Fanatics]

Both of those two are completely out of my budget. Though aren't they basically the same car with different badges I miss the days when there were plenty of affordable RWD cars in the market.

Then asking on RX-7 budget around 80K - 90K?

Talk about accuracy, yea around that amount. MR2 sounds good, though I think i'm gonna settle for the Satria Neo. Parts are cheap and readily available. Not to mention maintenance will be so much cheaper

by the way... ur budget... taking loan right?

if taking loan... the RX-7 is definitely out of ur price range... cars above 10yo cannot take loan anymore.

give EXACT numbers of how much CASH IN HAND u have... then ull get better responses.

i vote for u, toyota stralet KP70/KP71. good platform of FR, plus hatchback body and cheap.. if u insist 2 seater, just dump the rear seat. even makes u car faster...

Walaowei , RWD some more cheap... Top... Definitely Silvia lah.

I got to know a new friend recently who owns a FC3S RX-7. According to him, his drive from KL to Ipoh using highway cost him RM100 for petrol. Quite a bad fuel consumption.

Haven't bought anything yet thankfully. Just checking out options & experienced reviews on the car. Aiming for a 2 seater RWD car. RWD would be the priority though. Really having a tough time looking for one. Sorry if i'm giving of bad vibes mate.

Both of those two are completely out of my budget. Though aren't they basically the same car with different badges I miss the days when there were plenty of affordable RWD cars in the market.

Trust me when I say you'll get burnt by the FD if you aren't prepared for it. To buy it's cheap RM70k thereabouts. Looks wise not many cars in that price bracket look that damn good. Power wise I personally like the twin turbo variant. And for 1.3L roadtax not much to pay for. But like what someone has said, maintenance especially the Apex seals will set you back easily 1k every two months (averaged out). Bloody fantastic car to drive but maintenance is not for the weak hearted and the empty wallet.

And to make things worse, it's very very very hard to find a stock form manual FD. Autos I've come across 2 in ZTH but manuals are usually tricked out quite a bit and usually that means higher maintenance costs than stock.

Affordable RWD? Got ah. Innova, Unser, KE30, Silvia, BMW Z4, Starlet. I'm sure there's more but I can't think of them right now.

Agree with this, though I like 180SX better..hehe

 

[Supra_Fanatics]

Silvia unless get an older model would price around 80K for silvia. Or easier just got for S14.
Always like S14 in Silvia Family.

You can get a Supra at 70K too but usually is A/T

 

[Clutch_Shift_Accelerate]

Looked around for a decent Silvia, though not sure if I can maintain it. Let alone pay the petrol of a 2.0 litre...\

I'm refocusing my attention to the Satria Neo. Though i'm hunting for something like this Satria neo S2000 FLOAN 1.6 R3 with full BODYKIT - Cars for sale Kuala Lumpur - Mudah.my

Unfortunately the guy isn't responding...

 

[damnthing]

U can get a descent Silvia S15 with descent mods for about RM85-90k.....my neighbor managed to get a Supra for slightly under RM60k, but its an auto. And he also has a S15 which he is looking to let go. Might have seen it in mudah, the matte orange one.
I own a S15 for the past 7 years so i am speaking from experience, its an affordable 2 door, RWD daily driven to work and for weekend Gymkhana events car.
Mine is a NA but is in the midst of going down the turbo lane. Just to give you an idea on what the maintenance cost is like.....my usual service cost me about RM270, runs on timing chain so dont have to bother about changing timing belt (but it is advisable to change at around 100k km), parts are interchangeable with the other S chassis family (180sx, S13,S14) but mind you not everything as handling parts are only shared among the earlier S Chassis models and the A31 cefiro and certain skyline models (forgot which one).
Second hand and after market parts are everywhere and there are a lot of mechanics that can handle a SR20 (unlike the rotary where you REALLY NEED a specialist to handle your ride)

Just my 20 cents.....

The 180sx and S13 is about RM40-60k and the S14 is about RM60-75k

i use in daily to work and drive an average of 45km a day to work with the silvia and for 5 working day i use an average of half a tank of fuel (RM50 for Ron95 at RM1.90)

Did you call or sms bro? Try calling. But from what I see on those goodies he is giving, I'm not sure
how true it is. Also S2000 Neo for sale? Really never heard of it before.

Best call to find out.
