auto inspection companies
 

are there auto inspection companies that specialize in rx7s? moreover, has anyone dealt with an auto inspection company? tell me how it went.

None that "Specialize" in 7s. What are you trying to do, have one inspected long-distance?
Did that myself by asking on the Forum if there was anyone in the area the 7 was and would be able to have a look at it. Someone stepped up and we spent some time discussing what to do and look for, he showed up, drove and inspected the car and we both talked on the phone while he was there. Worked great, plus Forum (or SA22 List, if your a member) folks will likely know the most about 7s anyway. Paid him $50 for his troubles. Too many finicky bits of knowledge for someone "outside" to know about, other than a rotary shop - which would ALSO be an alternate if one is nearby...

I told the inspector my car was 25 years old thereby excluding it from emissions. It was 24 but he believed me. :)

trying to get an '85 gls inspected in vermont, unfortunatley, i am in indianapolis

would like to know if they are worth the $200.00+ and what is the process (beyond what the web-sites say)

NVM I'm an idiot. I think it is a bit out of the way though, maybe you can get a normal, good, mechanic to look over everything BUT the engine, then do your own engine tests. Idk

Only if it's an expensive car would you need that. If it's a cheap car (1000-5000) you should be able eyeball it. Look for rust and pop the hood. Look for damage, repainting. Alignment of the body panels. Look for reparied surfaces etc. Turn on engine and listen for odd noise. Check fluids yourself. Drive it.. that's of course the most important part. Don't let salesman turn up radio etc. Listen to the car. Windows down etc.

Take pics.. then post pics here. Get feedback.
