Rebuild question
Hi everyone, I'm looking into buying a 1988 Mazda RX-7 Turbo with 120k miles for $2k, but it needs a rebuild and the guy says he'll rebuild it himself for another $1k. Would that be worth it and how well do the Turbo Rotary engines hold up after rebuilds?
Thanks =)

that seems like alot of money for the car with a blown engine but $1k for a rebuild assuming he does it good and right is cheap. i paid $1300 for my '87 T2 with a blown motor and now looking back think i overpaid seeing what some cars on the FS section go for...

I would not pay more then 1k for a blown TII. i know a dude who picked up a 89-90 TII with a blown motor for 500bucks. There are alot of blown ones up. Unless this had some mods on it and was in good shape, then i might reconsider the 2k.
Give us a lil more info on the car. you said its a 88, is it a AE or just a 88 TII? Mods list?

I believe its a TII, and the engines not completely blown, the car runs, but according to him it leaks water so he wants to do the rebuild before he sells it. And i dont believe he has an account on this site.
