I was looking into perhaps buying an RX7 as my first car. I was wondering when shopping around what types of things I should look closely at when considering a particular car. For instance, i know in thirdgen f-bodies it is important to pay careful attention to the driveline as their rear-ends are naturally weak, brothers experience not mine . I probably won't be buying a car till the end of summer but I am still looking for a good deal. Any help would be great thanks!

Read up on Aarons site, its chalked full of information. Also if you look up in the corner theres a search function that if you do a search specific to the second gen forum under "buying and rx7" you can come up with some good tips.

Check for rust, depending on the miles have a compression test done, check for smoke on start up, look for any leaks, ask how often the oil was changed and what not, heck I would even go as far as to check and see if its throwing any codes that they may not know about. But the compression check would be number one on my list of things to do.

 

Sorry <3
