Advice on '93 rx-7 purchase...
It's done... Don't know how exactly I am going to get it from there to here, but we are going to get it. WooHoo! I convinced her that we could get it, and try it on for size, and if she didn't want to keep it, we could sell it for more than we are paying for it including the transport costs.
Options on transport are:
1. Commercial transport company. Estimates so far are in the 1.5K to 2K range. Advantage: Nothing to do but wait for it to show up. Disadvantage: Cost.
2. Drive my suburban and car trailer out there and pick it up. The cost is about 650.00 in gas and some hotel stays. Advantage: No additional miles on the 23,000 ticker (in case I want to resell it after she drives it for a bit). Disadvantage: Time. Not really looking into 5500 mile road trip in the '87 suburban.
3. Fly out to seattle, drive it back. Cost is 250 for airfare, and 200.00 in gas and some hotel stays (and any unforseen speeding tickets hehehe). Advantage: Cheapest of the three options... and a heck of a lot of fun driving through Montana (is it still no speed limits on the interstate?). Disadvantage: Additional miles on the car.
Any other thoughts or comments?
Thanks!

p.s. I don't no $h!t about these things (turbos and rotory engines) so I will do my best to search the archives for info, but if I ask a newbie question, please don't flame me! LOL And if anyone wants to help with a list of things I may want to consider doing to it (if anything) I would be most thankful.
