Don't drive it home.....period. Tow it somehow. You will break down i promise you, The car has no power in 4th or 5th, how are you going to take a trip that long? I say be a dead beat bidder and buy one locally...sorry to tell you this but that car is going to be more trouble then it's worth...

well, if you suck at saving money and you need a car, then dont buy this car. 1st of all, to keep our cars running in optimum condition (which has probably never happened for most of us) your going to have to constantly spend money to fix broken parts. you wont be able to upgrade your car until you get all the fix it **** out of the way. id go with everony elses suggestion and just find a more substantial 7.

DOOD you're in Purto Rico.....you should be able to find an rx7 there easily.....Either way I say don't get it, too much trouble to maintain. If you want a cheap car don't get a 7.......

Although we all love these cars here you might be buying this one for the wrong reason. You are buying it for 800 bucks but have no idea why its lossing power, and it says it need tlc, parts aren't the cheapest for these cars so that 800 bucks will start to go up really fast if you have to fix alot of things, The last thing i'd want to do is to turn some1 away from an rx7 but we like to look out for each other here too and you might be better off looking for one in better shape and leave that one for someone who wants a project
