Looking to purchase this FC RX-7 for 3500, the coolant on the engine is stated by the seller to be a coolant cap failure. He also sent a video of it running, but I am new to the forum and unaware of how to post it. Any advice is welcome and appreciated, thank you.

 

Compression numbers. Always ask for compression numbers. If they make it an issue, pass it up.

That radiator looks toasted, and coolant shouldn’t spray out like that from a radiator cap failure. I wonder how hot they let it get…

 

Thanks for the advice, I’ll let you know if I get more information.

 

I mean if you can get it cheap enough, eventually it doesn't matter...You just have to know a rebuild is an eventuality.

I was looking at the under hood pic thinking that looks like a OEM rad and we know that's a failure point...Could be that rad needs to go.

 

at $7k, I would expect more. This car will not sell at that price given the condition and issues. Maybe room for negotiation if you point out all the flaws.
