Need help deciding whether or not to buy this FC

I really like the look and feel of this RX-7. I have already gone to see and ride in it, the seller wants 18k for it, I personally think that it is worth it and am willing to spend that on the car. We took it to a shop to get compression tested and it came out very good. I would just like to get some outside opinions about how the car looks, and if it seems worth the price. These cars are already pretty rare in my area.

Hard to answer if we don't know what region you're in. You have to compare other FCs at similar condition/price point to decide "if it's worth it" IMO.

How it looks - are you looking for opinions on the sellers visual modifications or are "look" of the overall car? On the surface it appears pretty good. Lot's of work done and the price reflects that.

Beautiful car, and I think the price is totally fair given the parts it has. I would want to know where it was tuned and if there are sufficient safeties built in.

You've done your diligence with a compression test and test driving. Let us know if you end up picking it up!

In my area there are ones that are stock that go for around 16k with 100k miles, even then there are only 2 others besides this one on the market. I was just wondering what others thought overall of the car and both the visual and mechanical aspects of the car. I think the seller has the car at a point that I would want one in the future as well, which is likely to sway my decision.
