buying a newcar today...
 

Well I found this '90 RX7 close to my house, the guy wanted 1500 for it and the ad said rolling chassis. Well I called him up and talked with the guy and he told me he just put a new tranny in it so the 1500 is just so he can pay is parents off for the tranny. I told the guy 1250 is as high as I can go and he accepted it after a few hours of thought. He said it was a GTU but then he was like its the one with all the power options so I was thinking GXL. I am going to go see it tonight and prob buy it. Its black/black and he says its totaly strait and the vin checks out. Only prob with it is the engine is blown so he says. I will check compression when I get it, I want to rebuild it anyways so I can half bridge port it.

heres a pic (hes keeping the rims)

Do you think this is a good buy?

Lucky bastard. That is exactly what I am looking for to swap my engine into. However, $1250 is way high for a bad engine. I found a black one with a full RB suspension for $800, w/ the suspension!! I would buy the car for basically $200. Try and talk him down some more...

Rolling S5 fo 1250? Tell him to suck his nuts

dammit, :( I know its a high price but I need/want the car bad :(
I told him 1250 and he almost didn't accept that. What should I do?

hey rico hook me up with that 800 dollar one you found :D

dude, take a look at the car first. WHo knows? it might be TOTALLY MINT other than the engine... I mean it has aftermarket rims and tires... looks pretty sweet.

1250 isn't bad if the tranny can be proven to be new.

Alot of you guys that claim you wouldn't pay more than $200 for one with a blown motor are saying that w/ a new motor these cars are only worth ~$1500. Because we all know that you can get a rebuilt motor for $1000-1200.

I get sick of hearing that kind of bs. If the car is mint, then it is worth the money. Let us know how it goes and good luck!

yeah, prob is he took the aftermarket rims and tires off, and put stock ones back on. Iam going to look at it today and ask him if I can keep the aftermarket rims.
