Good buy or not?
I'll tell you what. The minute I come onto your future evo board and start asking no0b questions without doing any research and talking about how I can afford to wreck your car you can talk some trash and not look like a ******* fool.
To drive a happy rx7 you need one of two things: mechanical skills beyond basic maintenance with garage space and a spare vehicle OR enough cash to make us wonder why you didn't buy a new high-end sports car, so that you can afford to pay someone else to do all the fix it and maintenance work without batting an eye.
Best,
Dave.

Can you get a compression test on the car? If you can drive it and it's all good than I wouldn't let everybody talk you out of it. The price seems about 1-2k high. Did you ever say whether or not you were planning on this as your daily driver?
Personally, i love the looks of the rx7 and its always a car i was interested in. Ive always heard the horror stories about the rotarys so i stayed away from it. Everytime i see one its like "DAMN" i just admire everything about it. Then i got interested in rx7 with LS swaps but thats just expenssive and it is in essence "de souling" a 7. And i wanted a car i can drive daily, maybe 3-4 times a week. But with the way people speak about it, you cant drive it for 5 miles without it breaking. So now i dont know. But it seems like a very finicky car that needs a lot of attention. Which is fine but i just dont have the kind of money to be fixing it all the time. I thought with extra attention this would be a reliable car, but then i have rotary owners saying the opposite. I want a car that i can enjoy, not have to always look at cause it doesnt run.
buy a cheapo beater, best thing I ever bought, 220k mile 93 bmw 525, quiet, comfy, and reliable as hell. I've driven it when I've been afraid or unable to drive the FD. You're in virginia, I assume you guys can get some pretty nasty winters up there just as we do here. I do not think you shouldn't get an FD, however a beater is one of the best things ANY rotary owner can buy, or anybody with a performance vehicle that they would like to keep in good condition. Do what makes YOU happy.
and no, I don't hate supras, I love them to be honest, they're one of the few cars I would trade an FD straight across for, however calling them pupras is just fun.
