My $600 RX7
Just bought it 2 days ago for 600 bucks. it needs a little body work and some tlc, maybe some paint but the motor runs strong and overall is in great shape. it has a few issues that i'm workin on fixing.
My first question: My dash lights don't work..... I checked he fuses and pulled the cluster to check the connections they were all fine. i belive i read somewhere something about the switch being bad or something. Anyone have any ideas on how to check that or what might be wrong thanks

but you do know there is no such thing as a $600 RX7? 
Search for a post where everyone tells how much they have spend on their 7.

That's pretty fantastic, man!
However, despite the fact that the engine feels good, I would have it compression tested if it is over 100k miles on the engine. Oh, and give it a full tune-up and fluid change... just standard procedure for a newly-purchased RX7, unless you have records of that all being done recently.

I bought my rx7 for $500 off a coworker.
89 GTU needs paint badly and oil seals are going.
$1500 dollars later and it still looks the same on the outside.
Same engine closing on 180k miles and still going! Still debating if i want to spend the money on a fullblown rebuild or a jdm turbo swap.

I just bought my '86 GXL for $3 (yes $3)... but that was from my dad, lol. And you have the one up on me, because mine is currently in lots of pieces in my garage, since the engine is blown.

Nice find. I would say one of those issues you are speaking of is that it has 4 exhaust tips. I'm paying $600 for my 88 GXL. Hurray for $600 RX7s.......of course, I have already spent $100 in parts and have $150 to go before it's drive-able.
