check the engines compression. look for rust everywhere! rust is never a good thing. as far as mods, few foreing cars this hold have the innumerable modding options as the rx7. is it a gsl-se??

What model of '84 RX-7 is it (GS, GSL, GSL-SE)? Has it been modified at all? And what IS the asking price??
Have you taken it for a drive?.. been up to redline through 3rd gear? How's the acceleration?

Oh yeah, and remeber to check all of the accessories to see if they work. It's not a deal breaker, but if some or none of them don't work you could end up spending money on fixing them or all afternoon chasing electrical problems.

well i have a 83 rx7 and something is wrong with the clucth pedal. there is fluid in it and it goes in gear just a little bit. but when i put it in first it cuts off. the pedal goes straight to the floor with no pressure in it. i think i want to sell it, can i find any buyers.
