That's quite a question. I would say it depends on the condition. I saw a 10AE I wouldn't give you $500 for. What a bomb. Every panel was dented, body rust, and it looked like a gorilla was let loose inside the car, and oh, it needed an engine, clutch, syncros, and exhaust......But the radio worked. I took one look at it and asked the fellow if he wanted me to tow it away!

Hehehe, fortunately, all TII's sold in the US had manual transmissions.

OK, so hook up some jumper cables and see how it drives.

Uh, chances are that car has seen the worst maintainance EVER. The car has probably not been taken care of at all. I would inspect the under body for rust, check all wheel bearings and suspension pieces, and a compression test. I wouldnt buy a rx7 for $500 w/o having the spare money for a motor.

im checking it out tommrow ill do a test drive and ill bring a extra battery because i got 5 batterys right now ready for any car. hopefully its all in good order and the chick will give it for less imma try and get it to 400 and make her wait. i got a way of sweet talkin to young fine soundin chicks.

SlayerwithaFC3S

Even if it's a fixer-upper, thats the right price.

Most female driven cars that I've known have been complete ****. They get a nice car and drive it into the ground. But for $500? That's a good deal even if you have to sink some money into it.

greedy bastard. Why dont you leave some nice affordable RX7s for those of us who dont have one yet.

Evil Aviator

Flawed female stereotyping not withstanding, logic would conclude that for a $500 asking price she is either ignorant, or the car is a total POS. If she is ignorant, then the car was most likely poorly maintained, and is therefore a POS. Either way, the condition of the car is looking pretty sketchy at this point. However, it's going to take a lot more than pure speculation to tell for sure.

Nobody ever believes me when I say that a TII swap isn't worth the time and money. Oh well, at least the TII swap is a good learning experience.

Unless you have one heck of a high-paying job, I recommend selling one. The insurance alone is going to suck. Trust me, I know.

I saw this when it hit the Recycler last Sunday, so was already ahead of you. It is a 90 GXL that was originally red, now black. Only odd thing is that it has S4 tail lights (thats a good thing in my book, I'm SUCH a Rebel).

Body is straight. A few interior cosmetic issues, nothing major. Everything works. Car runs and drives fine. Clutch, brakes, and tires are in really good shape. Primary issue is it has a salvage title and needs a VIN and Taillight inspection to get it titled (already check and they're good to go).

What did I pay? I put a couple of the tires on my Vert and I'm profitable on my investment.

PLEASE don't start PMing me for parts, at least not yet I need a few weeks to check everything out and see whats what to decide whether to clean it up and re-sell the car, or indeed part it. May save it for the So Cal 7 swap meet later this year.

my mom has driven several cars into the ground. she also does this with the pc's they have at home. im always fixing stuff when im at home. i have NO IDEA how she does this...she can wreck anything valuable through regular use...it boggles my mind. i think its a feminine super power.

Take it from someone who has a wife, that's a crock of ****. The MAJORITY of women I have known (and it's been quite a few *ahem*) take HORRIBLE care of their cars. Take for example, my wife. She has absolutely MURDERED two cars, her old Eclipse and our 2002 Santa Fe. And when I say MURDERED, I mean OJ time. It's a miracle the ******* Santa Fe even runs now. I tell her to change the oil every 2500 miles, she's changed it twice (YES, TWICE) in 22,000 miles, and both of those times, only because I was with her and I made her pull over and get it done.
Don't even get me started on the Eclipse...

And then, she wanted to drive the Rex. "How 'bout NO! You crazy dutch bastard."

The girl selling it has never even driven it. Her parents wouldn't let her because of "issues". So, this Rex dodged the dreaded "woman owned" curse, at least on her part. This car has a few issues, but not her doing.

And I agree that this can be a curse. My daughter blew up the Engine in her Corolla by driving it for at least 200 miles with no oil in it. Threw a rod that blew a hole the size of a fist through the engine block. This AFTER I demonstrated HOW while giving her the speech about WHY checking her car's fluids every weekend is necessary.

****, if you don't want it, crate it up, and send it to me. given there's no rust and it hasn't been wrecked, i'll buy it.

SlayerwithaFC3S

its to late this morning she sold it i was gonna buy it friday night to she said he put a battery in it did something under hood and drove off

3isacharm

sucks, i hate being teased like that. damn cocktease

Ryde _Or_Die

Well my dad has a 99 Mazda pickup. I changed the oil in it once and he had it done once or twice. It has like 200k+ on it. He drives it all over hell constantly. It like doesn't sit still and goes all over the state. Crazy ****.

SlayerwithaFC3S - Scroll up. Sorry dude. But, honestly I saw and talked to her way before you did.


3isacharm - Make me an offer that covers shipping. But, you should wait a few weeks so I can check everything out and make a list of actual deficiencies. But, they look to be all cosmetic. No rust, no wrecks that I could see. And I crawled all over it JUST to confirm that.
