Advice please

Hello, all. As you can see, I'm new here, but I have a few questions that I hope you guys can answer. I'm looking to buy an FD at some point in the near future, and I would like to know what exactly I should be looking for as far as price,year ( are some FD's better than others?), condition, tell-tale signs, and any other hints that would give me an idea of what I may be spending my hard-earned cash on. I'm not trying to be a smart ***, I'm seriously just looking for suggestions from people who would know. Thanks in advance.

Are there any legit places online that I should consider when looking for classifieds (i.e. not Ebay)? Obviously, looking in the paper would be a logical first step, but rx-7's and the like are hard to come by in the Midwest, as we can expect snow on the ground for up to six months of the year. I wouldn't be buying the car for an all-year round daily driver, obviously, but I'm still looking for the best deal possible (isn't everyone ). Any suggestions on where to find a decent deal would be GREATLY appreciated.

I like www.cars.com

just toss in your zip code, specifiy RX7 and they year and search. It can perform a search based on your specifications (i.e milage away from your area code)
