Buying Questions for a 87 Turbo II
Hey rotor guys, I've been looking at 2G RX-7s for over a year now, and now I think I am at a point where I can buy one.
I found one for sale on E-bay that is about 45 minutes away from my house.
I wanted to know if you guys think this would be a good car?
1)It has 135,000 miles, I am going to drive it hopefully on Monday to see how well the engine runs and what not.
Is this pushing it on mileage?
2)The owner said there is a possible leak in oil line going to the turbo. If this leak is only minor, could there be any damage done to the turbo? And how much will this cost to fix?
3)I've read a few precautions to take when looking at a 2G to buy. (look at the dipstick to look for water spots, see if it smokes....etc)
Anything I should watch out for when driving it?
4)With 135,000 miles would $1800-$2000 be an acceptable price to pay for this car?
Which BTW has no major body damage, and nothing mechanically wrong from my observation so far.
Thanks guys, I appreciate any input.
