k i need some people opinion
I have found what I feel is a pretty good deal on a 1991 RX-7 N/A but i want your opinion on wether or not i should get it.
It has 80000km on it, in mint condition with no modifications to the engine and has never been winter driven. 5spd, red exterior, leather interior, dealer maintained, extra clean, air, am/fm/cass., all books and records since new, e-passed, cert, all for $6,995(CND)
so let me know what you think.

The quickest way to check if it really hasn't been winter driven (if that odometer is correct then it's pretty well for sure anyway) is to stick your head under the car and look for rust. 7s are bad for rotting out underneath, especially the undersides of the kick panels.
The factory deck is pretty much worthless, btw - memorabilia at best.
That's a great price. There's a mint red vert for sale in Waterloo, Ontario with about 80,000 clicks and this guy (a car dealer) wants $13,500 Cdn for it.
Make sure that the engine is good. Get somebody to start the car while you stand behind it. Is there a white or bluish cloud on start-up? If it's white, does it have a kind of sickly sweet smell to it? If so, the engine is garbage (or will be shortly.) Blue means that the oil seals are going. Major $ to replace (means a rebuild.)
Pop the hood, remove the rad cap, step back and have someone start the car. If coolant blasts out of the filler neck, the engine is garbage. Both this and the white cloud indicate that the coolant seals have failed (often due to someone overheating the engine.) In any case, don't buy the car unless you're willing to part with up to $2000 more to replace the engine (my current 13B was $1500 installed 2 years ago at Mazdees in Toronto.)
