Can't pass emissions, selling my RX-7

I know this isn't the for sale section, but I need to sell it. It failed emissions again, and I can't keep putting money into my car like this. It has a new ACV and a new cat. no one seems to be able to tell me what is wrong. The lack of rotorheads in the area is the real problem.

So, I am selling it. the link is below:

It runs strong, although it seems a little slow. The local dealership says it is a good engine (12A). Body is in good shape, too.

Selling for $999 or BEST OFFER

aww funk that.. I'd be all over it, but it's an automatic.

You live in Cleveland man, come on.. don't you understand the rules? Here's the e-check rules:

1st try - Pay the fee, fail, they say "take it again later"
2nd try - No fee - fail it and they say "Bring back $300 in receipts proving you worked on the emissions between now and the next time you come back"
3rd try - Pay the fee, fail it and they say "Oh well, you tried, you're free to go" And you're off the hook.
