★★☆★★☆★★☆★★☆★★☆★★☆★★☆★★☆★★☆★★☆★★☆★★☆★★☆★★☆★【1992 MAZDA ẼFINI RX-7 Type-X Automatic Turbo - Chassis No: FD3S-102165】Up for sale is a really good conditioned 1992 Mazda ẼFINIRX-7 Type-X Automatic Turbo. This vehicle was purchased from a private dealership and not through the auction system. Previous dealership specializes in RX-7's. After speaking with the shop owner, we were able to procure it, import and offer it for sale for the next owner to create a new chapter on US soil.
This car was a shop demo car, however after it was used for promotions and such, it was not driven as much and as a result, oxidation and the Japanese sun beat on the aluminum and carbon parts, especially the carbon hood. However, with the carbon hood is not cracked and can be re-wrapped. That said, this vehicle still retains its original factory paint and has no known internal issues to the engine. The engine is very healthy and does not smoke at start-up. The idle is solid even when revvingup to 7k rpm, it positions itself nicely at around 1k rpm without any hesitations. This vehicle has noaccidents, damages, leaks, and/or corrosion/ rust. Mild surface rust exists on the exhaust piping underneath near the cat, but besides that, the vehicle is in great shape overall. This vehicle is a genuineẼFINI model RX-7 Type-X Automatic and as such, you will find the rare red and black interior combo. The passenger side Recaro seat is in excellent condition, however the driver-sideRecaro seat has some wear and tear from the normal getting in-and-out. Other than that, this vehicle has some amazing upgrades readily available for the next owner to either keep and enjoy or to part-out what they don't need and keep what they do need.
This model's Twin Hitachi HT12 turbos were swapped out for a more responsive single turbo setup which boosts around 1500rpm at 115kpa. It has a nice tune and it performance very well. Don't let its automatic setup steer you away; this is absolutely a fun car to drive and it feels like it has around 350whp!
These cars are usually privately owned, and/or end up in dealerships where we have direct connections / established relationships with to purchase directly from. When we consider purchasing a vehicle with our own capital, we try to learn more about its history such as: who owned it last, where has it been and why is it up for sale. We do not go after auction specials primarily because a majority of the cars are purposefully misrepresented for the pure benefit for the seller / auction house. Furthermore, we do not rely on some 3rd partyauto-brokerto search for our vehicles through auctions, instead, we do take the time to fly to Japan monthly to hand-pick our fresh crop of vehicles for importation stateside as you can clearly see from our Facebook vehicle history.
Each car we purchase from Japan has documentation to prove itsgenuineness, and each car goes through inspection personally by us. We not only buy these cars, but we are also owners and extremely passionate about them thus giving our first-hand experience.
Once our office staff locates a car, we fly to Japan monthly to examine each vehicle set-aside for the following inspections:
[1] Overall exterior condition.
[2] Overall interior condition.
[3] Engine / drive train condition.
[4] Verification of history to vehicle through the manufacture in Japan.
[5] Verification of history to vehicle through Japan Automobile Appraisal Association (upon special request).
[6] Verification through vehicle history records and service documentation (normal process).
[7] Speaking directly with seller and obtaining more history about the vehicle.
All of the above is taken into consideration before we purchase a vehicle because at the end of the day, we are also Skyline and Mazda owners and want nothing but the best to purchase for resale in the U.S. commerce. We know if we provide you with a quality automobile, that you, our valued customer, will undoubtedly help to spread via word-of-mouth to others how we are and how we search for quality cars in a sea of beat to hell, defective, high mileage rust buckets. That said, we are not in the business of price gouging you, but rather, we want to genuinely offer cars to the U.S. market that we find to be quality and you find to be affordable, enjoyable and long lasting!
Everything on a vehicle we buy stays on it and we pass those "goodies" along to the customer. Some vehicles have OEM parts, while others have some slight modifications. We tend to keep our purchasing around bone-stock to very lightly modified cars with exhaust, suspension, intake / intercooler upgrades to very minimal interior upgrades. This vehicle comes with service records, manuals and other documents to validate its condition.
Buyer beware of those who lurk to take advantage of naïve buyers with quick scams and deceptive sales points. As we always say, the proof is in the documentation as this is something I ensured to obtain from the previous owner as it was very important to me prior to purchase. The vehicle (as can be seen from the images, and video files as well as an in-person look) will no doubt show proof of the care that was taken by the previous owner to preserve this vehicles chassis (exterior and interior) condition.
This vehicle has been legally entered into the US commerce with proper federal
[1] DOT (HS7)
[2] EPA (3520-1)
[3] CBP 7501

Should you want this vehicle registered, please contact us and I will aid in this process. If your budget is set for a beat fixer-upper, our vehicles are not for you.

Since I live in California, this vehicle's registration has not been started through DMV yet. I figured I leave that process as clean as possible for the buyer of this vehicle. Outside of California,registeringthis vehicle is a piece of cake, and is not an issue since you will be provided with all legal documentation showing approved entry into U.S. Commerce. Since CARB does not have an equivalency in other states besides California, you will not have any difficulty registering this vehicle. If you require a letter from me to show your state department of motor vehicle why this vehicle was not registered in California post importation, please do not hesitate in asking me and I will provide to you a notarized letter.
If you live in California and want to purchase this for your daily driver, then I can help you, however please note that I will only aid in this process to those who are serious buyers.
This vehicle is ready for pickup in Anaheim CA 92804 or we can arrange shipment to your door. We have contracts with several carriers that can offer very affordable prices for shipment whether it is enclosed transport to top rack. Let us know if you want us to get you a quote.
