I'm an 18 yr old high school student
After college and such
I'd love to get an Rx7 (Gen 1 preferrably)

my ucle owned a 1983 RX7 he wanted to give me, but the body was too far gone, I have a pic of it if anyone wants it however

how much do RX7s go for usually in CDn dollars, what are some pros/cons about them?/

thanks

 

Check Ebay , i see fix'er uppers there all the time. After you get the $US for it go to www.expedia.com for the CDN$

 

I checked the Canadian Autotrader
some go for $2200 CDN in good shape

others 3500

any more input?

 

buy mine. $1500 american.

I want to get one in 3-5 yrs
not right away

thanks for the offer though

 

Then the point is rather mute, whats on the market isnt gonna be on the market in 3-5 years. Id say find one in a fixer upper shape and buy it now, they are starting to get a wee bit scarce

 

Damn
no money for it

BEsides, my parents would not like having a car around for a few yrs when I'm off to college

I know I'll find one down the road
if I could, I would, but the current situation does not allow for it

 

I'd be happy to store it and drive it and enjoy it for you . It would make great friends with my other 3 . Of course you pay for EVERYTHING, but its not that bad of a deal...J/K

Spend $500, come pick up my early '79 (one of the first ones built for the states ever) drop a new motor in it, make it a project, invest a few bucks here and there, and you'll have a nice car by the time you're done, AND it'll be something you built yourself.

Plus it's in Michigan right now, so you could come right through Toronto or Sarnia or wherever..

 

My personal predition is that after next year, prices on used RX-7's are going to start going up a lot.

The new RX-8 I think is going to finally make people realize what a classic car the 1st gen RX-7 is...

 

I personally don't see that happening here in America until the rotary engine rebuilder becomes as common as the people who can rebuild mouse motors. No one will invest in a Japanese car that requires an engine rebuild that exceeds what they buy the car for. Maybe for a barnyard Ferrari discovery, but not for an oriental import. I also believe they're going to miss the target window for introducing the RX-8 in time to catch the current wave of interested buyers....

 

How can I get a picture of my car under my profile name on this site?

 

you cannot. unless you get over 100 posts and make it your custom avitar.

 

you have to have over 100 posts to do it? damn, i guess i should start just making random useless posts

 

That will get you post ***** status, you do not want that, just ask Node

 

Go into the lounge, you can post up a 100 really quick. If you wanna post useless crap, then you fit in just fine there

Once you get a 100, easy way to resize is to get a .jpg of the pic you want go into MS paint, and then edit, then stretch/skew and set it for 17 and 17 and bam it will be the right size
