buying an sa rx-7

I am looking for some advice on an rx-7 with fresh white single stage paint, racing beat header, presilencer, racing beat swya bar, spring package and tokico hp shocks, poly urethane bushings, new inner/outer tierod ends and new ball joints. All of these products have less than 25 kilometers(15? miles) on them. I ask as I am currently looking at buying this car. I have no pictures but I assure the body is immaculate and so is the interior aside from a few slightly sun faded plastic pieces. Oh yea has a rebuilt carb as well. Thanks for any responses.

if the body is that great it is definatly worth it. i am assuming the engine is great . it would be a good car for you.

Thumbs up

Sounds like a deal ! But remember most people are afraid of rotary engined cars so they usualy dont sell very fast . Try offering 2K. it's a nice round number.

William beat me to it. Check for rust in the tire wells, rocker pannels, and back hatch.

actually check for rust everywhere, I've been working on my project car latly and it seems like everywhere I turn there is rust, not bad, but surface in spots I didn't think there would be. Assuming thats fine then it sounds like a good buy.

Have checked for rust and he actually has pictures of the repainting process and what minor rust was there was sandblasted off. I will post some pictures next week provided everything goes well.
