hey what's up everyone? i am proud to say that i am a new owner of an 88 rx7. i would put some pics up, but i think you know what one looks like. i picked it up for 3500 with only 100,000 miles on it and i was wondering if that was a good deal.
oh, and if you guys want to sell me some parts that would be cool too. oh and it's the cabriolet, forgot to mention that.

 

I got my previous RX-7, an '88 GXL with leather and all for $2k with 106k miles. I sold it over a year later with 146k, torn up seats, and a replacement fender for... $1900.

I'd say it was a fair deal if it is in great shape, glossy paint, good interior, no electrical issues or anything.

What color and interior is it? Pictures?

 

IS it an N/A? If so, I would say thats a pretty high price unless its in flawless condition inside and out.

the color is black and there is bairly anything wrong with the paint or the bodywork. the interior is super clean and nothing is wrong with the electrical and engine. oh, and it is the n/a

and that leads me to the next question: do any of you know where i could pick up a turbo kit for it? is there even one? i found some guy who will build a custom one for me, but it's gonna cost me an arm and a left nut. plus he lives 3 hours away from me.
actually, any kind of performance advise would help out a lot. thanx.

There is a sticky at the top of the 2nd gen forum that explains all this stuff. You've got alot of reading to do because these types of questions are asked and answered everyday.

 

rofl i was waiting for the "i want a turbo kit for my n/a" was surprised when it wasnt in his first post =)

 

Haha, i like the...."oh and it's the cabriolet, forgot to mention that. "

Welcome to the world of endless repair

 

Thats a pretty good price for two of them. You did get two of them for that much right?

 

sorry about the double posts. it was loading slow so i stopped it and submited it again. and what are you talking about endless repairs?

 

where in seattle did you get it form? I'm assuming that you did get it in the seattle area....

 

They're just messing with you man. First, you payed too much. Second, you aren't going to be able to turbo it for a decent price. If you wanted turbo you should get a TII, not an N/A...its cheaper that way. Third, RX's often require alot of work...thats what the "endless repairs" comment was about. Enjoy the car, but IMHO don't even try to turbo it.

i just put seattle down as my location because people know where that is more than they know where marysville is. oh, and i picked up my car in smokey point, but you probably don't know where that is.

 

i was reading in the archives and realized i couldn't ask any questions in there and was wondering if any of you could tell me how much more the convertable weighs than the coupe. i'm too lazy to go look.

 

i bought my convertible for 4k and thats a tad on the high side plus mine is MINT condition, hardly any flaws in the paint job and interior is WOW plus every little thing works on it including the A/C, P/S and lots of other goodies... pic is in my sig

 

yeah, that's the same way mine is. everything works and, after reading that "beefing up your n/a" thread, is about to be taken out. the guy tring to sell the car was asking for $7000 and i worked him down to $3500, so i think that's pretty good for not knowing what i should have bought it for.

so does anybody want to hook me up with some parts?

 

$3,500 is not bad for a vert. Verts are generally a bit more expensive than even S4 TII's.

 

I'll give you a pat on the back and a job well done......

 

and a thank you. i'm thinking about selling it now to some poor soul for $5000. he he. unless someone can give me some reasons to keep it. oh, i found a turbo II for 5k, but i think i can work him down. ya think that's a good buy.
