$1,500 for an 88 vert/with t2 hood and s5 tails, presilencer, downpipe, intake, strut tower bar, pedals, like new tires, 60k on rebuild, turbo catback.
Actually, it was more like $1,499.75 cause I found a quarter in the center console!
Thanks Peter!

I paid $3,200 for my 1988 GTU. It's the most immaculate 2nd Gen RX-7 I've seen yet. It has original everything, a TII hood, and everytime I get in the car feels like it's fresh from the Mazda dealership. I almost can't beleive this car had near 70,000 miles on it. The previous owner took really really good care of it, which is the only reason I paid such a high price for an non-turbo.

In the last 2 weeks.....
88GTU - a little worn, terribly flooded. Bought it from the towing service where I park my trailer for $200
90GXL - nice body, interior, poor compression on one rotor, bought from import repair service for $200
These people just called out of the blue because they knew I had been playing with this type car.

$3000 with 10,000 mile pineapple rebuild, fresh turbo, new clutch, and tranny. Great interior. Exterior needs painting ..........but hey.......it needs new paint for the body kit anyway. Has 210,000 miles on it but no rust.
Since that i put prolly another 3g into it...........

Oh, he even let me pay him in two payments of 1500 w/o keeping the car. I paid it off in 2 months. GOOD DEAL EH?

Free. Brother got too many speeding tickets so he decided to buy a more Low-Key car. Gave me the 88 NA with 150,000 on it. Org engine, new brakes, tires and CD player. This was 3 years ago. Now she's got 186,000 on her and oil leaks. LOL Wouldn't give her up for the world!
