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 FD in the Australian market is trading at a median of AUD $68,277, up 36.6% over the past twelve months and signalling a HOLD posture given the sharp recent gains. This appreciating classic has moved decisively higher, though the strength warrants caution before additional entry at current levels.

Liquidity remains thin across the tracked sample, with just three sales recorded in the trailing twelve months against an eighteen-car historical dataset. At present there are no active listings, which constrains immediate supply but also limits the visibility needed to confirm momentum without a broader transaction pool.

The FD remains moderately desirable within a production run of 68,589 units, classified as collectible and grounded in the model's revered rotary engineering and 1990s tuning heritage. Supply of good examples is finite enough to support the appreciation trend, though the model lacks the scarcity premium of rarer peers.

The three-year base case projects the median to reach AUD $138,593, representing a doubling from current levels, with five-year guidance pointing to AUD $176,356—a 158% cumulative gain. These projections assume sustained collector interest and continued supply tightness, though the thin liquidity profile means actual transaction prices could deviate materially if selling pressure materializes.

Given the restricted trading activity and recent upward move, prospective buyers in this market should exercise patience and allow for deeper price discovery before committing capital. Sellers holding sound examples may find a favourable window ahead, particularly if fresh demand emerges from offshore collectors.
