"Im not gonna take anything lower than 4400 cash, becuase thats what it cost me to get it which was 2 weeks ago" JDMjim

Did he pay 4400 or 3400?

 

Rx-7Addict said that he sold it for 3400. The guy selling it now is just adding in the cost that he had to have it shipped to his house. Thats probably why he says he paid 4400

 

Ahhh, yea, makes sense

 

I like how the hood scoop is off-centered. As for him selling it for $5k, I seriously doubt he will get that much for it being the original motor... What a fool.

 

This is the kid who bought RX7addicts car....my thoughts on the situation....
I called this kid up telling him I loved his car, and needed a car to get me to and from school work etc. But also something that was going to break down on me.
I know getting into rotarys isnt the best idea if im gonna buy a car, but he asurred me it ran solid....I paid 3400 car the car, and near another 1100 to have it shipped. I recieved this car thinking it would run great and everything was gravy........well, the car didnt evan start off the trailer. Not to mention the car had a crunched rear bumper, a muffler that fell off....and a mess of ripped and ghettoed head unit wires. so then I had to walk 2 miles to autozone, buy a battery. Then drove it home to find out A- It didnt boost right, B- The interior was hacked and cracked, C- trhis was the worst of all, It was leaking oil LIKE CRAZY! I took it to a local shop and they said it was a laeking part form an oil return something.....
anyways.......Im not really that mad at the previous owner, cause to be honest hes a good guy and everything went smoothly. Im just need to buy a car that runs good no matter what. I;E honda..Witht the money i put into shipping and many many repaiurs, im trying to get at least what I lost in shipping. I say 4300 isnt a bad price for a well running fc, with a fantastic paint job.

 

you should have asked more. like they say in the car biz, there's an *** for every seat. I paid $5,000 for this supposedly (bite me) OUTSTANDING 88 vert in July, and immediately started pouring cash into it to the tune of approx $5,000 more. But it's worth it to me. The only thing that I am pissed about is that the moron lied to me and I fell for it cause I loved the car.

 

the car never once broke down on me and I drove this car 30 miles to and from work every day May-September, no problems

It does run solid except for the aforementioned bad idle. I told you I replaced the TPS, but the idle is still bad, I also told you several times that the exhaust was worn out, I even listed that in my post on this forum. Other than that the car runs well.

I dont know why it didnt start when it came off the trailer, but it may have something to do with the fact that the car sat from September 18th to October (10th?) you never called me or anything so how would I know? Obviously it is fine now because you now list the car as running well and good compression etc. I think a call would be appropriate if you had problems with the car. Perhaps we could work something out. Im glad the car is running now.

are you talking about the 1inch by 1inch black mark on the rear bumper? I pointed this out to you and you said something along the lines of "ha thats nothin". I also mentioned the 2 minute scratches on the pass. side fender and the small bumper cutouts, which you asked about as they are clearly visable from the pictures.

I told you the exhaust was worn out (and listed in ad) and I also mentioned to you that there was no radio in the car, but I would include the stock radio. So yes, there was a big hole with wires in it, but what were you expecting when I said it had no radio in there?

hacked and cracked? that interior is in great shape. the only thing I can see is there is a crack in the center console radio surround, which is a $40 part, other than that that interior is very nice. I dont think youve seen other 16 year old FCs, because I have and it isnt pretty. I would in fact say that the interior was easily a 9/10 and certainly not "hacked and cracked"

The car boosts perfectly, slowly builds boost in all the gears right up to about 6.5psi (factory)

this puzzles me: the fact that you now say well running when in your last 2 sentences you did nothing but bash the car. The car runs very well. Yes it has a vac leak that gives it a bad idle.
so why are you bashing the car here so much? Yes it runs well considering all the slight flaws I had mentioned to you.

I hope you do sell the car. I hope it goes to an enthusiast. Obviously you are not happy with the car. I was completely honest when I sold the car, we had many detailed conversations. I was convinced this car would go to someone who would love it and take care of the car and keep it looking as nice as it did when it left my driveway. Clearly if you wanted something of the utmost reliability, you are absolutely crazy for thinking a 16 year old rotary turbo car with 136k would be it. I still dont understand why you havent contacted me about the car. A simple "I got it, it didnt fall off the trailer" would be nice. Or even a "I cant get it started Im really pissed" would work too. That Turbo II is a rare car and my baby, so Im glad youll be selling it to someone who can appreciate it

yeah when i drove it it ran and boosted fine, besides for the bad idle =/ but still.. i didnt think it was leaking anything either.

 

jamison is a rx7 hater!!!!!
