as it says guys, i drove a 86 or 87 RX-7 and fell in love with it on the spot.
The odometer reads 142,000 but the car itself is in decent shape for its age, the engine looked nice and clean, and sounded great, know wierd noises, real smooth. i drove it and OMG, it was fun, no power steering made it more precise, no electronic controls, RWD, it drifts beautifully. Now the guy wants 1,500 for it and i like it so im thinking about it, but i would really like your opinions as long as they are constructive... BTW, should the motor fail one day, how expensive is it to rebuild the rotary? |

Rotaries fail. There aren't many ways around that... I've gone through a couple myself... The seals just aren't good enough. Umm... IMO, not quite worthwhile in the long run, but they do make nice "fun" cars.
