Looking at getting this FC

I have been wanting to get an FC for a while now (Work is starting to crush my soul since a portion of my day is spent reading rotary resources and surfing this forum).

I've been going over this forums for the past couple of weeks and I finally decided to sign up to ask a question.

Does this RX-7 look like it may be worth getting?

http://www.trader.ca/powerpage/detai...3&adid=5488253
(I know it says V6, but I'm sure thats a typo ... 2 rotars * 3 chambers )

Or does anyone in the Toronto area know of this "Milan Fine Autos dealership" or this specific ad?

It has been on autotrader for a while now (a few months to my knowledge) and either it's already sold and the dealership forgot to take the listing down or it's a waste of time.

I haven't been to see it, I don't plan on going until I get a few things sorted.

I don't need a daily driver (I don't know why anyone drives to work downtown, it's such a hassle) it's more of a car of utility and fun (If I need to go grab groceries, or want to hang out with some friends and don't want to take the transit system, etc).

Any thoughts or ideas?

I've read Aaron Cakes site and have a decent RX-7 Turbo specific checklist for when I do decide to go look. I'm not new to cars either I just thought that I would ask some owners.

That is not a turbo, unless it was swapped. Looks like a base model, definately repainted. And I think I see convertible BBS wheels (5 lug)? If that's the case it might be a sport model, which would be >>>>> base model.

Check it out in person. Thats the only way you can really know.

Yeah.. with the custom paint and body work it very well could have a 13BT but go check it out. Car dealerships are morons when it comes to selling these cars, hence the "V6". But you could be dissapointed as well.
