Ha, it says priced to sell fast. wtf must be a typo. Who knows, it looks to be completely stock. maybe they think somebody out there is willing to pay that much for something rare as a stock turbo rx7 I mean more then fifty percent of the fc's out there are messed with one way or another.

Genius! That posting there just changed the market, boys! Mark up those low mileage TII's to $30k and N/A's to $12k... Got it? Good! Don't let a high mileage FC sell for less than $5k. Now we control the market. ;-)

someone needs to explain to this person that its A) an s4, 2) not everyone has a trustfund, C) if you buy a car, dont house it for 23 years and try to turn a profit...just drive it until its paid for itself!

And if you read the description it says 1.3 R2

Last i remember ebay didnt have a zero cyl or rotor option people have to pick something to put the ad up. why does this still amuse people so much?

Under ebays section it says 2 cylinder, which is understandable. But its a v6 in the typed out description on the page. That's a big mistake, but I just noticed the fine print that it's an auction from a listing company- not the owner. I hope the owner knows that they listed it for a rediculous price. Then again... The last one of these posts with the gay fast and the furious fc actually sold.

LOL!!! I saw that too man! I thought "this must be a nigerian scam or something because this guy can't spell, price, or accurately describe the engine... Unless it is a 1.3L V6/Rotary turbo?! Then the price would make sense because it would be the most unique motor in all the world lol.

Ehh, it's not a restoration or anything.. It's legitimately worth $6-7K for the cleanness and mileage.

At least the second one is "okay"... Not "$15k okay" though.

although clean new jersey title means nothing! the second question on the new jersey inspection is "do i need to see the car?"

^Cool car. That glass moonroof is shaped kinda weird. Aftermarket installation?

"The car has been owned since new by a 65 year old gentleman." = Time machine!
