low miles or rebult motor..
Hey guys i'm new the the site and am contemplating buying an 93-95 rx7.. My question is this what would you guys recommend low miles (50k to 60k or so) or a rebuilt or new motor? Any input would be appreciated, thanks...

How about a low mile car WITH a rebuilt engine.
60k seems to be when these cars get sold. Expect about 20-40k more miles before your first rebuild. Of course, YMMV.
Look for a car that wasn't owned by a teenager, has all repair/oil change receipts and doesn't have alot of mods on it yet, that way you can be a little sure that it wasn't rodded too much.
Pressure test the cooling system and get a compression test done before you buy anything.

i would personally prefer low miles. If they blew the engine, that means they did something to make it blow and you dont know what adverse effects they may have had on the rest of the car

What do you guys think?
