Arrow Help!

well the silver rx7 i was looking at sold already....jesus these things sell faster than crack.....anyway so now if i want one i have to look at ones with higher mileage on them (80k +). I was wondering if for an rx7 that was a lot of miles or not, and if it isn't how much longer could it go until it needed a new engine.



Thanks for the help

I am not going to say 7sweetie is wrong but mine has 109k on it and is still going. If you buy one with higher mileage just try to have it checked out before you buy it and make the "reliability mods" as soon as possible. And have the ability to have to come up with $$ on short notice, just in case something unsuspected breaks.

Guy, you are looking for a car that ranges from 7-9 years old. The majority of the ones you are going to find for sale are going to have quite a few miles on it.

Do the normal checks, like a compression test, no matter how many miles the car has one it.
