Hey guys so I'm new to rotary but always liked rx7s. I come across this 1990 gxl fc automatic with a bad transmission. He's sending a 5 speed tranny with it but that's all. It has 148k miles and barely any rust. I don't have any bills so every dime I make is going into this. He started with $800 but I got him down to $700 over texts and I think I could get it for $500 when I Show up with cash in hand. So do you guys think this is a good deal?

 

I think if you've already negotiated a lower price, and then you show up trying to give him less money, then you're a total scum bag. I would refuse to sell it to you at any price if you wasted my time like that.

The body looks solid, it comes with a replacement transmission already. What makes you think it's worth less than $700?

Well the transmission he's sending is a 5 speed and I'm pretty sure it'll be cheaper to just replace the automatic. No matter how much I'd like to have a 5 speed I can't afford it

 

Do some searching on the forums for things to look when buying used cars. $500 seems a bit low for a perfectly running, rust free rx7 that just needs a new tranny but you never know. Take your time and inspect the car very closely. These things turn into money pits faster than you realize

 

I'm not sure if I even want to go look at it now.. I would really like to have an rx7 but when I called a tranny shop they said the closest available trans was two states over. Ugh

 

Wow that's clean for that price!

 

If someone did this to me I'd tell them to kick rocks and gets the **** off my property.

Grow up,OP.

 

That's a good car. Stick to the agreed on price. You know its worth it.
