condition on car.

my distant uncle in the bay has an rx7. i asked him if he would sell it, he said he would!! should i take it? it's 1989 NA GTUs (special edition? he says) 47k on rebuilt motor but... 235k on chassis... i'm not so sure yet cause the chassis milage is high, and i dunno how heavy it's been driven. but he said he's the 2nd owner, and it's clean title and only owned by adults. no mods cept stereo. but he's asking for $3400. it didnt' pass smog before, and had it fixed i think it happened twiceice, but he's got that fixed and it passes now. think its' worth it? only thing making me unstable is the milage on the chassis...

Dude GTUs are pretty rare. Do you know where he got the engine rebuilt? Ask for a family discount to lower that price ahaha

How would they find out?
Lots of people mod their cars, and dont report the mods to insurance...

They think my 7 is a 4 cylinder, 4 seater n/a car.

Well, I guess they dont know about rotary engines, so 4 spark plugs must equal 4 cylinders right? lol
My fc used to have those useless backseats, ditched them awhile ago. It was also n/a, not anymore!
I just let them think whatever they want, its geico btw.

most desk jockies probably wouldn't know a turbocharger if you threw it at them... don't sweat it, smart people tend to live longer no matter what they drive. just be smart.
