1988 Mazda 323 GTX ($2,800)

I’m not sure how it’s possible for a 21 year old Mazda to have an interior like that, but the fact that it’s Mazda’s turbo powered all-wheel drive late-80s supercar makes it an unbelievable deal. This is a car that can not possibly ever sell for less money than this. A paint job would probably double the price.

In my mind, the 1993 Miata Miata LE is one of the two most collectible Miatas made to date – the other being the 1991 Mazda Miata SE in British Racing Green. The black on red is a classic combination, and $4,400 is an amazing price for this car. All that’s missing is the mileage…

1991 Mazda Miata ($3,000)

I love Miatas, and I love this Miata in flat black – very nice job. Great wheels, great chin spoiler, iffy on the speedometer, but this is a lot better than I could do with a car. A great driver’s car for $3k.

The 2006 Mazdaspeed Mazda6 is a fairly unloved car, but that doesn’t make it any less cool. A powerful turbocharged 4-cylinder engine and AWD is generally a recipe for fun. Not as edgy as an Evo or STI, but a very satisfyin car to drive.

Like the Mazda3 of today, the Protege was always the fun choice among compacts – and the Mazdaspeed Protege was an exceptionally entertaining choice. It didn’t have the horsepower of the SRT-4 but it was quick, and handled great.

1993 Mazda RX-7 ($14,998)

No car collection is complete without a turbo RX-7, and the last generation is definitely the best (although I enjoy all of them). I think red is kind of a traditional color for this car, and the black wheels are a nice match.
