So why would you go out and buy 3 FD's? You have all that cash?
Sounds like BS to me...
But if its real, cool. I'm jealous.

hell, I'm gonna do it when i have enough money, 3 FDs means 3 exhausts, 3 body kits, 3 system set-ups, 3 sets of wheels, it would help a lot with someone like me who still can't choose which exhaust he wants

Picked up first 94 with a blown motor for 6200
picked up 94 with good motor wrecked rear for 4200
and just got new 93

so the second 94 is a parts car (more like 2 rx-7s)
actually i bought the first two with the money from selling my mustang.
and the third was sopposed to be money we had been saving to buy my girlfiend a car but i could'nt help buying it at such a great price.

I guess maybe I'll have to let her drive it sometimes.

what morons are selling you these cars for 6,200, 4,200, and 6,000?

I'm really jealous

Could you send me the defrost vents on the dash and on the doors since you got such a good deal?
I'll pay for them

I don't think I could handle three 7's. To much maintenance. One is totally enough for me. I wish I payed 6G's for mine though.

I think he is trying to corner the market by buying ALL of the FD's. Next he will be trying to take over the world.

He's a madman.............he must be stopped!!

my uncle owns an internet auto auction, and i spend a lot of times searching for deals on cars.
on top of my day job i have a hobby of picking up cars for cheap and re-selling them after i drive em for a while.

Hmmmmm
if anyones interested in an rx-7 in the 6-8000 range let me know i may happen to know where you can get one.


also i might be selling the complete interior out of the wrecked car (stripping it need garage space)

If anyones interested in a black leather interior let me know

if i sell the interior it'll be as a whole set for a black/tan conversion or some such.

Scrub:
I might have another 93 lined up i can work out all the details but the guy won't know till friday if its gonna get sold or fixed. it's not in great shape but it runs, needs a little work engine/turbos fine needs hoses/misc little parts and paint.
i think he wants around 7k for it but i'm not sure.

i could probably find one but, the reason i can get them so cheap is i go with cash in hand.

cash talks.
if you can get a hold of like 7000-8000 cash i might be able to get this one i'm goin to look at this weekend.

hmmm if i sell my suburban i can buy another rx-7.
hah then i'll have to tow an rx with an rx just don't think itll work.

Man...to be honest...when you can get a beautiful car like the RX-7 for 6 to 15k....god..why not?

I can't believe the suckers are SO LOW in value...even with all of it's engine problems..it's such a beautiful car.
