Are you the original owner? I doubt it, cause your talking out your ***.
Next your gonna tell me yours is painted blue or green cause you "special ordered" it that way too.
The R1 & R2 only came with black interiors & black Swede seats (not cloth or leather). With either red, black, silver or yellow exteriors.
Geeze you got over 5K post & didn't know that????
Ive heard people claim that at time of original purchase they changed the seats for leather & one went as far as to say the dealer installed a sun roof (the dealer!!)
But your the 1st to have a complete interior color change.
Wisest thing you can do is wait and watch. My first post on here was to ask about a salvaged title Rx7 I was looking at buying. I am so thankful I avoided that car.
No matter what have a RX7 mechanic do a compression test on the engine. Also get a boost gauge on the car before you buy to check boost.
Do not buy sight unseen unless you are using a reputable auto broker! Any Rx7 owner worth owning one of these cars will have tons of receipts and be more than happy to at least give you some names of rotary specialist that can test the car for you.
Good luck
