No loan. The buyer paid RM90k cash for Type RB. I would pay RM200k for a good condition Spirit R if anyone selling here in Msia. If there is no loan available, I still want to buy it.
I love RX-7, I can afford it and I will buy it.
Precisely...thats an awesome point. RX-7, due to the looks, handling, feeling, attention you get from the car and its legendary status, is a collectors item as we speak. To date, FD3s is the only japanese sports car that made it to playboy's car of the year.. :) To get a tip top condition rx-7 inside out is almost impossible, as the owners are very reluctant to sell it..irregardless of the price. The ones we see, selling for 60k for example, is either riced up, more than 5 owners, and just require another 30-40k and lots and lots of patient just to make it tip top and road worthy.
Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to get a loan for a car that is more than 10 years in our country..hence, the decrease in car prices. However, i believe cars like rx7, supras, nsx, will not depreciate in value, it will appreciate..
To own and drive one of these legends is an honour. The feel of it, the smile it brings to ur face and the attention you get from it.. no words could describe it. So for those that complain about "wah 80k is so expensive for a 15 year old car"..dude, u dont deserve to own it..simple coz u cant afford it. Believe me, 80k is not the issue..the issue is that the remaining monies u have to put in to make the car as good as it could be..
Its not just any car..its an RX7..and i love it.
Just my humble opinion.
