With gas at $4 a gallon, it's something to consider.
My FC rarely saw over 17mpg, so changing over to 24mpg in my SR S13 is WOW.
You can't "save up" to buy an FD, you either can afford it, or you can't. It like a Ferrari in that sense.
If it's your only car you need to realize that you'll pay twice as much for gas, 3x as much for insurance and parts like door handles, dashes and trim are just about nonexistent and if you do fine them, your throwing down Bennies, not lunch money.
There are only like 13,000 FDs out there and if it was a piston car, I'm sure you'd see pricing in line with Supra MK4s. The high cost of Rotary ownership drives prices down.
A few years with an FD and you'll be saying "I could have bought a Supra or NSX".
A modified S13/4 vs a Stock FD is a stupid comparison. Some people enjoy modifying a car, and a 20 year old FD is going to need THOUSANDS in maintenance to get you a car running like any quality 7k S-chasis.
