What to do with my 79 rx7.

What to do?? It's too expensive to fix. Don't have the $650 to get it running. Tried to sell it and no one wants it ... at least not here in Pensacola. It's at the Mazda dealership. I have to go get it. Park it in the yard and just let it rot? I guess this is its future. I can't even seem to give it away. What to do???

If a dealer says it cost 650 its probably 50 dollar DYI job.

We can help you get it up and going. What did the dealer say the car needs? As stated, chances are its a simple fix. If I were closer I'd come and help you get the car running or make you an offer on the car.

Do you still have the car? I’d drive down to FL for the right SA. I’m sure there’s others on here that would too.

that's weird. shows he has 8 posts but this one only shows as all posts by user, and as last activity date/time. he probably said **** it and scrapped it.

Another weird thing is that is shows that he joined in 2007. Who joins in 2007 and then comes back and makes a post like this? I would think they would have done a little reading on here between joining and posting this issue.
