im debating rather to purchase this car. its a RX 7 twin turbo 1993 touring. its has about 67 thou miles on the car. nice red with leather int. run roof new chrome 18 rims. the man has all the records on it. they are asking 15000 and it has a 30 guarantee onthe car engine and tranny. new turbos i was told. and had the engine rebuilt at about 25000 mile . so my question is should i get this car? i need you help to know what to look for and to fill for when i take it out for a test spin. also what to ask for to see if they have replaced parts sence i have heard there have been recalls. all the help and advice is appreciated.

I'd go for it. Search sround a little for how to upgrade it, you find the answers your looking for. Cheack the 5th gear synchro (it's know to break at 60k) and make sure all gears shift smoothly. He's got all of the records, so they should tell you everything you need to know...
