looking to buy a 2nd gen rx7
looking to buy a 2nd gen, any specific things I should be looking for, or listening for, I went and test drove an 87 and I drove it for maybe 15 mins and after about 5 mins something would start beeping, but I'm not sure if its because it was low on gas, or if there is anything that it could be related to, any help would be appreciated, thank you

Welcome aboard. Be sure to check out the Canadian section, you can ask anything there too.
My '87 doesn't beep when it's low on gas, I don't think that's what it was. It's pretty hard to say what the problem was from your description. Were any of the "idiot" lights on the centre of the dash? Was the beeping constant or intermittant? If I was to guess I'd say the most likely causes were low coolant or low oil. Could be a non-issue or could be a warning sign of a problem or poor maintanance.
How to buy guides:
For N/A RX-7s:

For Turbo RX-7s:

Turbo, but some of both:
