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 declined sharply to a median of $21,199, down 25 percent over the past twelve months and now carrying a SELL signal. This pullback runs counter to its classification as an appreciating classic, suggesting near-term headwinds are outpacing longer-term collector appeal.
Transaction volume remains thin, with just four sales tracked in the past year and seven total in the dataset. This sparse liquidity means wide bid-ask spreads and extended holding periods for sellers—a meaningful constraint for anyone considering entry or exit at current levels.
The typical FB transacting today carries roughly 42,000 miles, indicating that the examples changing hands are relatively low-mileage specimens. Despite moderate desirability and a collectible-tier ranking, the market has not rewarded age and condition equally across all examples.
Over a three-year horizon, the base projection stands at $23,219, implying a recovery of around 9.5 percent from current levels. The five-year outlook improves modestly to $23,910, or 12.8 percent, suggesting that patient holders may recapture recent losses but face a gradual appreciation path rather than a sharp rebound.
Confidence in these projections is low, reflecting both the small sample size and the market's recent directional weakness. Prospective buyers should treat current pricing as unsettled rather than a floor; with no active listings tracked, availability alone may create brief upside if sourcing becomes more difficult.
