Exclamation Are rx7s Dependable???????????????????????????????????????? ???

I found a 1993 Rx7 for sale for 8,000. It had a blown engine but the seller says it Re-Manufactured. It is a automatic with upgraded parts I.E. Exhaust and a few other things. Are these engine depenable and does this sound like a good deal or a crap shoot?

No disrespect but I feel from reading your post you need to vastly inprove your knowledge of the car or you'll be in for years of headaches.

If you fck with it too much and drive it like an *******, then......

I've had my FC TI for a very long time now.
Maybe I should do a tune up sometime...atleast an oil change

I strongly agree with this post ... I've had my FD for about 8 years / 35k miles and have not had a single major problem. Not once has it left me stranded. No overheating. No nothing.

What do you mean? Are you 25yo+ or something? Did you mod your car? With all kind of eBay crap?

Please do that. Then drive around and race everybody you see on red light. Don't worry about oil changes. Regular fuel will be fine, too.

Come back after few weeks and ask whats wrong with your car
