Should I...

I found a 1990 RX7 N/A....

the good: New tires, AC, clean interior, Tokico blue suspension, Hayame muffler, air intake, body is decent, no major dents

The bad : Rough idle, motor runs but needs work.






Guy only wants $500 for it and I don't mind putting the wrench time in to fix the car up. Also if the engine is bad enough to where it needs a rebuild or a replacement approx. how much am I looking at? Thanks

BUY IT!! the rough idle is more than likely a timing issue or the TPS sensors...well worth the 500 georges...

thanks I have been wanting another RX7. Had my first at 16, it was an 87 but blew the tranny and being young and stupid sold the thing for almost nothing. Been regretting it eversince.

Buyer's guides in FAQ, go from there. JDM engine is $1500 I think. A rough idle is usually a minor, fixable or ignorable problem.

You're still signed on? I guess you ran out and left everything on....

Sounds like a good deal, although I'd also change the bumper cover (don't like that non-port lights mod).
