i will tell you two things:

1. its extremely high maintenance. on an average i have spent around 150-200 bucks per month just maintening the car. gas mileage is bad (i get 12 miles per gallon). and then of course insurance and monthly payments (if you finance it). so, keep the high cost per month in mind.

2. you will love it! its the best decision i have ever made in my life! no question about it! i love it to death! looks better than 100% of the cars out there, and performs better than 99% of the cars out there.

Don't scare the guy! Honestly they are a lot of work and maintenance but if you keep up with them then you will absolutely love it. Be careful and learn what you can b4 you start modding it and everything will be fine.

oh my god....like...for real?? lol j/k. like someone else said, they are very high maintanence. buy i think its very well worth it. they are old cars, so of course there's going to be some problems. just be ready to fork out some money for reliability mods, but you'll be very pleased with the performance.

Got mine a few weeks ago and I love it!! It's best if you are mechanically inclined, because you or someone, will be working on the car. Very fun, very fast, very unique. Only one other one running around my town ( Medina ). People keep stopping me asking " what is that " . Tom

I think your friends are jealous that you are even thinking of getting an RX-7. I'm planning on keeping my car running by learning how to work on the car myself. Not many people have the resources to do such a thing with most cars, but there are many RX-7 enthusiasts who know thier stuff and can help you out. I'm hoping me and Mindphrame can replace my Fuel Pulsation Dampener tomarrow.

I must say, this car is for VERY enthusiastic enthusiasts! I LOVE THIS CAR, but not the way you are thinking... I wanna have sex with it!

Just for the record, I'm 101k miles and still running strong on the original engine.
