Need advice stat!

So I found this car.
I looked at it today.
It is awesome. The body is pretty much flawless. It was dark, but I could tell that there were no dents or dings.
It runs great. Fun to drive. All stock.
New clutch, alt. and some other stuff.
CD Player.
126k miles.

Only thing is, I only have $2000.

How much do you guys think that it is worth?

I really really really want this car. It is awesome, and I have wanted an RX7 for so long.

2000 is a bit high. Maybe 2000 if the engine was recently rebuilt/reman. I'd go 1500 max.

tell him $1200 if the engine wasn't rebuild $1400 if the engine was. But $2000 could get me a t2 in decent cond.

The engine was rebuilt 126k ago.
The chasis has 156k.
He has the service record.
The first owner blew a rotor or something like that.

Offer him less. If you really want it that bad, go for it. Good condition 7's are hard to find.

yeah its deff not worth 3000, its a base model (4 lug) has the crappy brakes and suspension, its prolly worth 1500 since it looks like its in good shape and has some cool after market rims..
back before i knew anything bout rx-7 couple yr ago... i bought one in simliar condition for 1500... and that seemed to be fair price...

ohh lol looks like you bought it allready! good luck with it

He said it was a GXL.
I don't think it is, because it doesn't have power steering, or adjustable seat height.
That probly means no LSD. Dammit. I thought it was the GXL.

If it has the Auto Adjusting Suspension buttons on the center console, it's a GXL.
