So I believe with the RX-9 possibly coming up, the RX-7 is going to suffer from extreme meme tax. What car do you think will fall victim next /o/?

Anon, the meme tax is already there on the RX-7, just like on every other 90s japanese sports car.

Dude, FDs start at $20k here in Australia. I saw a Bathurst model going for $50k at one point. That's mental money already, I can't see it going any higher.
If you guys can pick up FDs for less than that then you're really lucky so fuck you.
RX-8s on the other hand are starting to get cheap. Last I looked there were a few $10k examples so they've got a lot of room for prices to climb.

You can get RX-8s with blown or nearly blown engines for shitbox money literally everywhere, especially in the UK.

No one wants an RX-8, period.
>>15874311
Exactly. Prices on them will be on the up when the 9 is out.
>>15874311
Why?
I've seen them as cheap as 2500$ with a bad engine.

>3k+

Because rotary rebuilds are expensive (if you pay a shop to do it) and/or time consuming (if you do it yourself) and they're a necessary thing to bring the engine to good health after its been neglected. Also >>15874320
>>15874311
RX8s are fucking garbage thats why

My friend is trying to get rid of his.
>120k miles
>he just knows the engine is gonna go boom

I really wanted RX8 tho
I just don't want to get a primed time bomb, and a used RX8 is more likely than anything to be someone else's problem.

I've said this before but any generation mr2 is going to be meme taxed
>2 years ago I got my aw11 for a grand
>had small dents and it's had +300,000 miles on it
>I look at Craigslist now and any gen mr2 go for $2,000 or more in the same condition as mine if not worse
Pic is mine it's still the Same as I got it.

I would take one if I wanted to waste $20k dropping a coyote motor in.
