is it worth it

i got a friend with a 5-spd turbo RX-7 1989 black up for sale. he is asking for 200 bucks. theres a problem. the car has problems, no power anything on the passanager side, the dash is falling apart, the turbo maybe blown, no cd player or tape, speakers blown, exterior is perfect. im not sure if it worth buying it then having to fix it up.

but i cant find anyone else selling a RX-7 in my area. Des Moines, IA.

for $200 that is a hell of a deal just to fix the car.

Doing the work yourself, it wouldn't cost the $4000 that you could sell the car for once it is all fixed.

200 Bucks would be worth it just for exterior panels. Be a good parts car if your main one was ever in an accident. At least thats what i'd do with it. I'd go ahead and get a decent 2-4k car that is in good shape before trying to rebuild a mess. Never know what you'll be getting into.
