Average miles before something breaks?
I was just wondering what you, as FD owners, would say your average miles are between something breaking? Because it seems like a lot of stuff does, but I know people wouldn't make posts just to say their car's running great (so it kind of throws it out of perspective). So would you say as low as 1k, maybe 10, 30, what?
Thanks
Thanks

Seriously, it's gonna depend on the condition and mileage of the RX7 that you get. You can't just say that every 7 will have atleast "x" amount of problems within "n" miles.

Your question is pointless and utterly unanswerable. Stuff wears out and needs maintenance. There is no telling when one part out of hundreds is going to break. If you are that worried about it, this isn't the car for you.

Nearly 20k miles and I havent had a problem. Everything thats on its way out (tranny, turbos) still work and havent given me any issues. Depends on how you drive the car though.

my chassis has 120k miles on it and the only thing that broke so far is the door handle.
motor has around 15k with a downpipe and is running strong, absolutely no problems since day one.

I was asking how long from you fixing something, does your personal vehicle break again. As in if something broke after 1k, then something after 7, then 4, the average would be 4k. I'm not even asking this trying to decide if I should buy one; I was just curious on what the consensus was.
