sup guys?

i have the opportunity to buy an fc within the next 2 weeks so i thought id check out this forum. hoping to get a little advice or whatnot on my possible purchase.

the car is an 86 turbo. has 100k, original motor and supposedly the 3rd owner. its kept in good condition and is going for 1000. that seems to be good?

ive owned several turbo cars but never a rotary. so i guess ill be in this forum a lot to learn about these cars.

tia.

well..

Sounds like a pretty good deal, but since thats the original motor and its a turbo, its gonna be due for a rebuild pretty soon.

No such thing as an 86 turbo. Turbo model came in 87.

There were '86 turbos. Not very many, but they exist. As well as '78 1st gens (I own one, but normally list it as a '79 because I get too many arguments when I say it's '78).

Check http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/media.htm and look at the sales brochure for info.
