Anyone saw this RX-7 on Ebay? What do you guys think of it for this price? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2428816700

It has a MD title. Please give me some fee back.

 

Decent price since it will probaby cost around $10k (doing it right) to get it back on the road.

 

did you ask what the buy now price is.. There is no way it will sell it at 2700.. I would ask the seller what that price is and let us know.. If you are familiar with Ebay.. Usually the price could vary at the last second..

I saw an FD in worse shape go for over 5.. Its a gamble on these things.. You can't even start it.. so I say no on it.. To be honest.. and don;t take this personally.. because I could of completely avoided this thread.. but if you need to post a thread to ask about this, and serious about it.. My recommendation would be to learn little more about these cars and then, buy a salvaged or not running car.. Because you might spend more trying to get it run than trying to save some money.. I have seen good running fd for under 10k.. and I have seen people buying wrecked fd cheap and thinking that they could save money, not saving.. and never running right.. so, do some search and see if its something you "realistically" want to take on..

Good luck!

 

is that a rx7? i couldnt tell from all the missing parts

 

Be careful
You don’t want to by something that will cost more to fix then one in fair condition, because this will only be in fair condition when make it driveable. And on that note you can find some modified cars for a little more then blue book and they have most the major problems already fixed.

 

Well from the engine bay I see,

ITs missing the intercooler, possibly radiator and both their accesories, no filler neck, no y pipe, no turbos and all their accecories, no upper intake manfiold, no rats nest, no ignition coils. looks like its been sitting for quite a while as the entire motor looks pretty aged ( the pullies are rusted to hell) no battery, no battery tray no fuse box, no fan relays, No AST.....wtf... look at the first intake runner on the LIM, looks like its bent to hell.. weird thats gotta take somthign crazy to do that.

The interior looks pretty beat up. no shift ****, no ash tray. Seats are torn up. old and rotty looking inside... gauge panel is there though...

exterior, no antenna, no corner lights
no front bumper, no fender... that front anxle looks almost messed up as well. that wheel looks like its sticking out farther.

over all.... .its a real real fixer upper, alot of stuff missing, but with some TLC it could be a sweet deal and sweet ride.

 

also, you have NO Idea what kind of shape the chassis and suspension are in unless u see the car in person... so it couldbe a nightmare

 

I wouldnt want that car even if it was free

 

Yes I notice lot of missing parts. But I have most of them in my garage. I will put on the RE N1 bumper with scoot hood and boarder fenders.( exterior) I have blitz front mount, T04e turbo kit and some used parts I have left over. For the seats I have some carbon fiber recaro racing seats in my inventory. Hope the engine still have good compression tho. Probabaly not... I have to tow it back next week. well be a nice slow built project car. I'll make it look just like the 7 I have back in Taiwan... All scoot kit... like that whote one I posted before

 

i think the buy it now price was 4500..

 

well I got the car... for $2700. That was his reserve price.

 

I say strip it naked and start from scratch. That would be a fun project!

 

yea as long as no frame damage ... Might need some help from the forum here...

 

Good luck on the re-build. It seems like it would be a fun project

 

you could probably make about 5k selling parts off of it... pocket 3k and start on a new one...

 

That car is not far from my house.
Its pretty much shot to ****.

 

I'm kind of surprise by your statement.. I guess I was wrong about your being a newbie.. it sounded so with your inital post..

Well, if you have all the parts you mentioned above.. go for it.. 2700.. hell, I would of bought it for 2700.. i have almost all the parts it missing in my garage.. and extra engine, and extra rotor housing.. but still its lot of work.. and sounds like you have money.. since you already have all those parts.. hmm...

 

If someone was to take that car and part it out completely they could make about 5G from it.

 

turbojeff is a rx-7 restoring god. No seriously, I worship the man. Ask him.

 

Anyone might be interested in mine? The motor still runs. 50k original miles on motor and chassis. Turbos are brand new with 3 -4k miles on them. if that one could be sold for about 3 gs and the motor probably doesnt run and its mileage difference from mine is 70,000 cant mine be sold for about 6k?

 

I have most of the engine stuff that thing needs FS:
Pm me if you need anything.

Maybe. Looks like yours took a pretty good impact. Also, salvage titles kinda ruin your resle value a little. The advantage you have over that other car is you know the history of the car and you pretty much know all the parts are there...maybe a little scrunched, but there.

The impact looks bad, though. Looks like it needs a front clip. If the interior is in great shape you may find a buyer, but make sure if you list it to really detail what's on it and show a bunch of photos of the damage.

Is it an insurance total? Are they paying you? Did they give you the option to buy back the salvage?....

 

The interior is in excellent shape..better than most fds ive been in..absolutley no chipping and I like the r1 seats over the leather. We dont know what it is because we have yet to recieve a police report to confirm who is at fault.

 

That looks like its gonna need a fair bit of welding to repair...

 

Actually, I know this sounds retarded, but buy a J-Spec RHD front clip and weld them together... Some people would go nuts for this and pay top dollar whether or not it has a salvage title. however, people won't buy nice cars that can be bought w/o salvage...
