[Stealth97]

$30k miatas!!

 

[ExHondaMan]

Someone should play a prank and call one of those numbers and ask them if they want to buy it back for 30k

Looks like LA has the market cornered on 1990 Miatas.

Stealth 97, looks like a Dragon run is shaping up for the end of this month. Just a FYI.

$30k miatas!!

If you note the date (August 1989), it's right after the Miata was released. $30k would be a heck of a markup, but I wouldn't find it all that surprising.

I bought my Miata in Aug of '89, and remember those ads. I bought mine for $13K at the dealer though. Lots of people were trying to make a quick buck on the hype at the time, since it was generally hard to find them in stock at the dealer. I doubt that many (if any) sold for those kind of prices though.

 

[HKSpowers]

Wow 100%+ markups?! Have there been any higher than this?

It's also interesting to see 89' Rx-7's costing $15k, thanks for reminding me of the good ole' days back when I was 4 :lol: .

Hahaha- that's great!

.....All those turbo FC RX-7's.... where are they now?

When I have a chance I'm going to scan a current LA Times classified section showing the same 1990s for sale now for $2000-$3000.

:lol:

Hahaha- that's great!

.....All those turbo FC RX-7's.... where are they now?

Some of those turbo II FCs are still alive, some have had the engine and drivetrain removed to be put into a N/A FC, miata, truck, FB, etc. And Im sure the rest are all in junkyards.


Its funny though, everybody at the RX-7 club is always talking about doing Turbo II swaps, why dont they just sell the N/A car and drive the turbo II? Alot of the donor cars are in good shape. I guess eventually everybody will be doing Turbo II swaps BACK into the Turbo II cars.

If you note the date (August 1989)....

I guess that would expalin why there were so many 1990's for sale

 

[y8s]

reminds me of the Celica All-Trac thread... apparently those went for over $21,000 new back in 1988...
