About to buy an FD tomorrow, but am still having qualms about it. Am I paying too much? A simple 'yes' or 'no' would help a lot! Thanks!

11K
'94, 60,000 miles, blown motor, well thought out reliability & performance mods, no body damage.
Oh yea, & I really REALLY like it.

 

yes

 

is it a 5sp or auto car? if its an auto car your definately paying too much. If its a 5 spd car and in really good condition other than the blown motor, then it MAY be worth it. I personally wouldnt pay 11k for a car with a blown motor. I think for a near stock good condition 5spd 93-95 rx7 with about 60k miles, the going rate is probably around 15k give or take 2k. If you dont have 5k laying around after the purchase, then i do not suggest picking this car up.

thanks guys!

5spd
Car drives, but compression ratio is bad

 

The body would have to be absolutely positively pristine and immaculate maintenance records. In other words, *only* a motor with bad coolant seals away from perfection.

Since that's unlikely, I would think more like $8k. The bill for a blown motor can add up too fast.
