Looking into buying a new rx7

I currently have a non-running 82 na rx7 as a project car, but am thinking about getting an already running second gen turboII as a better platform. It already has some stuff done to it but I would love some feedback. http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...uperSpotlight=

Based on the description, it looks fine. Price might be a little high though.

You will find "How To Buy" guides for the 2nd gen in the FAQ.

Buying any modified car can be tricky because you dont know the quality of the work done.

ok, if he can provide good proof of the remanufactured motor then buy it. make sure the efan is wired in right and check the HOW TO BUY GUIDE.

5000 is good for a TII in good shape.
