$2300

It still needs a new paint job and minor cosmetic work for the exterior/interior. It runs fine now but I think I'll get the engine rebuilt next year.

Bought a N/A GXL for $1300. Car was listed as $3500 until it developed a coolant seal leak that the piston engine mechanics couldn't figure out. They knew it was a head gasket, they just couldn't find the head

Sorry, not a TII, but an 88 Vert. Paid $1200, and have put about another $1000 into it - Tires, New Top, New exhaust, etc.

Just bought a 87 gxl n/a for 1000. Needs a new paint job and interior needs work. Has 106k miles now, Ive put about 700 miles on it in one week. Fun car. Reason I bought it was because it runs awesome. Mechanically perfect.

Spent 3000.00 on my 88 vert- all she needed was a coat of wax and some interior plastic. EVERYTHING worked. Clock, cruise, headrest speakers, all the crap that normally breaks. And oh yeah, about 102xxx on the odo...

i just spent 2900 on mine and picked it yesterday. here is a description and i will post pics by tomorrow. and the guy included a new 400 dollar cd player with that is xm ready.

This is a 1987 RX7 Turbo 2. 4000 miles on a rebuilt BRIDGEPORTED 89 JDM engine. Parts replaced in the rebuild include 2 peice 2mm Apex seals, the better single Apex seal springs, new corner seals and plugs, upgraded larger corner seal springs, new side seals and springs, new oil seals and o-rings, new silicone encapsulated better than stock water seal o-rings, all new internal gaskets. new thrust bearings and oil pump chain. Also the oil bypass thermostat has been replaced by a solid peice included in the rebuild kit, so the rotors get oil immediately on cold start. New water pump and theremostat. New starter.

All emissions have been removed and blocked off. NO catalytic converters. All vacuum lines and actuators related to emissions have been removed as well. Heater core is not routed in the cooling system. All A/C components discarded. Manual steering rack.

Also installed is a 3-inch aluminum cross-flow radiator, custom downpipe back 3-inch single exhaust, Walbro 255LPH high pressure fuel pump, new inline fuel filter.

4000 miles on ACT 6-puck unsprung hub clutch with Heavy Duty pressure plate, New clutch slave cylinder
Fuel is controlled via HKS Super AFR fuel controller.
Dual A-pillar gauge pod with one air/fuel ratio gauge and one open spot.
Car is currently running factory turbo, ecu, and 550cc primary and estimated 800cc secondaries
There is a very small oil leak where the oil pan seals to the bottom of the engine, not a major problem and can be taken care of cheaply in an afternoon.
The sunroof recently stuck in the closed position and will not open. It appears that a cable has broken.
Car will need a new clutch master cylinder soon.
Exterior

The car has been repainted at some point as the side moulding is body matched in color now, but it shows normal scuffs and scratches. the hood and sunroof have light hail damage on them. The only rust i've noticed are a few bubbles on the sunroof. There is an area of paint that has peeled off of the rear bumper as shown in the pictures.

When the engine was out of the car being rebuilt i took the time to paint the engine bay black to clean things up. also various engine parts have been painted black or silver .

Interior

Both seats show much less wear than any car of it's age, carpet is also very good condition and clean. Both storage bins open and close normally and even lock still, as does the glove box. Power windows, power mirrors, and power antenna all function properly. Factory security system is functional when the doors lock.

I paid way to much. $6500.00 for a Super clean 88k mile TII. Lesson learned, post and read on this forum at least 2 months before buying a car.

So how much did you end up paying to fix that coolant seal leak?

What year is your RX-7?

I got my 87 TII for 2600. Had a new OEM engine in it with 10,000 miles on it. The only damage to the car was a spot of rust on the sun roof and the interior was in great condition. I was very happy with it.

$2900 for an 89' TII with no dings or scratches, but some paint flecs coming off, interior flawless, came with high end speakers in the rear, and a $300 xm reciever/cd player, 102k original miles, and 9k miles on rebuilt engine. My dad actually paid for it, and he's paying for a new paintjob, so $0 for me. All I have to pay for is gas and the new speakers i'm putting in
