hey guys, im not really new to these forums but i am almost clueless about cars. i am about to buy my first car after i saved up about 2000 dollars. i really have a passion for the fc, i love the way it looks, sounds and goes fast, haha. well i've been looking for a car to buy and this was one choice i had in mind http://www.rotarytraderonline.com/listings/l0022.html so do any of you think this is okay for me to start off with? any tips to help me out? thanks

 

Not a bad car. Get some pics too. If u can drive it also. I started w/ a n/a also. I love the n/a but have decided to go to a TII motor. But I love the Rx7 period.

 

what should i look for in a car? and what would anyone estimate the costs to maintain the car? i really want a second gen rx7

thanks

 

to maintain a second gen? augh...

If its an automatic, the day after you buy it, start saving $600 for a manuals wap because the automatic tranny won't last more than a year. (Don't ask, I know from experience. My first auto tranny lasted 9 months, the replacement lasted 6, the swap with the manual has 6 months on it and is workign 100%)

That said, set $40 a month for "unexpected" things to happen, and $10 a month for oil and what not. Thats $600 a year, and I can say for certain you will need it.

Yes rx-7s are very reliable, but if and only if they are properly and religiously maintained.

 

$40 a month??? I wish .

 

i live in the city and i'm not so great with manual, i only tried driving it once and i sucked ***** at it. how much was the replacement for the tranny when u had a automatic?

 

Well if he doesn't touch anything or modify anything, $40/mo will get by. The second you touch or modify anything, that should be raised to around $75-100/mo.

 

Trust me on this, if you learn to drive on a 5spd rx-7, you will be able to drive pretty much any other 5spd in production cars. These are tricky to learn on... by tricky I mean you'll learn twice as fast on any other car.

After you learn to drive the 5spd in the seven, you'll goto another car witha 5spd, and drive... you'll be amazed at why the hell they make other cars so easy to drive...

 

damn, this guy lives so far away from me. around 400 miles
i still dont know what to do. is there any way to get it delivered?
