Premiums compare the median price of sales with each option against comparable sales without it, mined from verified auction listings. Sales are pooled across markets on a relative-price basis, so exchange rates and market levels can't skew the split. Options interact in ways a one-at-a-time split can’t capture — treat each premium as directional rather than gospel.

Marque analyst note

The Mazda RX-7 FB has retreated sharply in the Australian market, trading at a median of AUD $20,350 and down 25 percent year-over-year. The sell signal reflects broader weakness, though the small sample size of three sales over twelve months means individual transactions carry outsized weight in the trend.

Liquidity is thin, with only three recorded sales tracked to date and no active listings currently visible. This scarcity of supply and demand makes pricing volatile and exit timing critical for holders.

The RX-7 FB occupies a collectible tier with moderate desirability, though production data and original MSRP are not available for this market snapshot. Classic rotary sports cars maintain a dedicated following, but this particular model generation has not yet solidified into the appreciation bracket.

Base case projections are decidedly downward: prices are forecast to reach approximately AUD $10,657 by year three (down 47.6 percent) and AUD $8,779 by year five (down 56.9 percent). The low-confidence rating reflects the thin data set, but sustained depreciation pressure appears likely unless demand conditions shift materially.

Given the absence of current listings and weak price momentum, sellers should expect limited bidding competition. Buyers entering at current levels face meaningful downside risk over the medium term absent a documented restoration or rarity that might anchor value differently.
