Possible joining the family...
Hey All,
I'm going to look at a 1989 RX-7 GTUs tomorrow.
70,000 miles
They are asking $8,000, but hopefully they'll swing a deal with me.
What sort of things should I look at and inspect?
Any advice would be great!
Thanks,
Storm

Whoa 8 grand!!! I think that's a bit high, I would try to get them down a bit. If the car is perfect it may be worth that. Look for the usuals when buying a used car, obvious oil, and coolant leaks, etc. Drive it, and make sure it runs smooth and shifts easily. Good luck.

$3000-$5500 is more along the lines of a price for that car, in very good shape to add. Things to have done/look for:
- Compression test(at a rotary shop)
- Overheating(let car idle for half an hour or so)
- any leaks of anything at all(make sure you run the car on cement during daylight)
- smoke(of any kind, from anywhere)
- Rust
- Modifications(never know what some people will do to their cars)
- Maintence records
