Should I get this FC?
I wanted an FC for quite a while. I just got a deal from a private seller.
White 89 FC GLX
clean inside and out
bone stock
everything is in perfect condition (or so he claims)
171,000 miles on it...
engine was never rebuilt
owner never drove the car hard
for $3,400
...am i getting ripped off?...the mileage on the car is extremely high. The owner said i didn't need to rebuild the engine but, according to most of the posts here, it said that the engine lasts up to 200,000 miles.
I don't know how to rebuild a rotary engine. If i do get the car, and i do decide to rebuild, can anybody in the LA/ San Fernando Valley area help? I'll post of the car soon.

That milage is kinda iffy... if at all possible try to get a compression check. I'd still try to heavily talk him down, if it still looks good. Also kbb.com for the value of the vehicle. I paid around 3200 for my 90 gxl with tii swap and new motor (7k), full exhaust, light flywheel, etc, etc... so if ya keep looking you can find a nice deal.

Check KBB on the car and it depends on how much you want it.

seeing that you're from LA (unless that's louisiana) i believe that is only a tad bit over-priced. around the so cal area, fc's as well as 240's are worth a shiny penny.
with that said... i believe that you should wait until you can find another one. i paid 1100 for my 89 GTU with 125k.
