SO
im about to buy a t2
for a good deal

3k
HE says its rebuilt by pineapple racing but i have not yet seen recites for it but i believe his word sorda
=/

BUT
he says the computers going bad?
im not exactly sure what he means by that
for all he knows it could be a grounding issue orrr

it could really be going bad somehow

heres some pictures of it


i just want to know what i should look for and what i should ask him.

you guys know your stuff and i know i can get some helpful tips and tricks out of this

thanks in advance

 

Man... I wish I had 3k... I'd totally buy that out from under you. Here in OR.. a TII in any condition close to that is worth 3k unfortunately...

 

aaroncake has a pretty nice write-up about buying rx7's.
Start there.


A computer going out sounds strange. Is the car acting funny? How does he know the computer is going out?


Try offering him less $ --- IF he jumps on it maybe something major is needed for the 7. Looks like a nice car though.

 

JDM mad tyte yo!

 

What the hell is that supposed to mean, computer is going bad? That's enough to scare me in to thinking he's either wrong, or a bull *******. What are the specific SYMPTOMS that the seller is having, that makes him say it's a computer?

 

computer going bad???? Eithier its broke or it isnt. A ECU isnt like a piece of fruit that goes bad. But i wouldnt back out just yet. It could be the guy doesnt know what the hell he is talking about and could be an easy fix. Low ball em!

 

Buy it if its got a new motor. I don't think the computer is going bad? It runs right?
He probably means the Idiot lights that always go bad, blink and stuff...
If its been rebuilt the motor should look clean. Looks like a good buy? where's that at...
I say "go for it" but offer a little less maybe... point out any flaws that you see.
