87 GX with mods 3g's CDN.. good price??

iam seriously considering this as my first rx7 but i dont know.. ive never owned a rotory so i dont know much about them. any input would be awsome


Mods:
k&n intake
headers
HKS Hiper (fake) catback exhaust.
turbo brakes
turbo rims
5 bolt conversion
brand new brakes all around
spare transmission
aluminum hood
spare steel hood
headlight intake duct
Border 2 front bumper
turbo spoiler
eibach lowering springs
tokico adjustable shocks
stock exhaust included
23 000 km's on new engine
receipts for everything
199 km's on body

interior is 8/10
exteior is 6/10

it's a 5 speed manual
power sunroof and mirrors
Alpine CD Player (around 6 months old)
some rust on the sunroof but that's it!

the motor is a reman unit from mazda..
its got a REBUILD title due to being written off from a front end collision. hood,front bumper,fenders, and rad support were all that was damaged apperantly but since those cost so much they wrote it off.. the guy is asking 4000 dollors canadian but said he will take 3 grand now.. is it worth it? i think it is because 3 grand is cheap for a car like this.. or in my eyes it is.. just as long as it drives good i think i should pick her up.
thanks for any imput

also does this car come stock with a limited slip diff??

This would make a great thread In the Can Forum.

Yes, jump on It and It does have a Limited Slip Differential.

86-88 GXL's, Turbo II's for that matter, have LSD. A couple of things you can do to verify this. Check to see a tag on the Fill Plug of the Differential. It should say LSD. Further, jack the rear end up. Grab a rear wheel, turn It In any direction and simutaneously verify the other wheel Is spinning aswell.

I'm not home right now but perhaps someone can provide a link for further details.

VDubNeuf, you could throw everything I just said out the window. The GX doesn't have LSD, It's open ended. I mistakenly thought you said you have a GXL which does have LSD. My bad.
