I have narrowed it down to two cars:

A white on blk 1995 rx-7 with 93,000 original miles on engine and turbo's, so it needs a new engine very soon. Its in excellent condition and its conpletly stock but does have exhaust.

My other option is a 1994 rx-7 with 44,000 miles rebuilt engine and turbo's by pettite racing brand new paint job (redw/ tan seats on black interior). It does have a few mods though downpipe, cold air intake, exhuast, maybe one or two other mods but thats what I remember.

Both cars are manual.


I can get the 95 for around $14,000 and the 94 is $20,000.

What would you go with thanks

 

Unless you have the cash on hand for a rebuild, try for the '94. Make sure the '94 has all the paperwork for the work done to it so you can verify the work. It may be a little pricey, but better to pay more for a good car than to get a crappy one and spend a lot more on it to keep it on the road.

 

Get a compression test on the 94 and get the paperwork on it. Also, try to talk to the guy down in price. Last August I paid 15,900 for my 93 with a completely new drivetrain.

 

Buy the one YOU think is better. Get it checked out before buying.

 

I just bought a 93 R1 with 100k on it. Most of the bugs are worked out of it. May need an ECU I am not sure. Runs great and paid 10,000. New stainless exhaust and air intake.

 

The 94 sounds better, but 20k is pretty steep. If the 95 is in really good shape and the motor is strong, it might be a good deal. They both sound nice.

 

keep doing your homework! Just know there are better deals out there just keep looking and when you feel that the one you want is it look it over again ask yourself is this the one I want. If you feel one of these is it, go for it.


I've had to do so much sacrificing just to find the one I wanted I now am relived I got what I have, but it took lots of time before I had a chance to get one.

 

It really is tough to find a clean, reliable FD these days whether it's a 93, 94 or 95. 95 FDs can still pull down decent money but with that many miles on the stock motor and turbos, it's no different than a stock 93 or 94 with the same miles. If you can find one that's been maintained by a reputable rotary mechanic and tuner and has all the reliability mods done with new engine/turbos - don't hesitate to spend $20K because you'll spend $14K on the 95 and put $5-8K in new engine turbos eventually so your almost better with the 94 - new paint is nice too. Mine will be up for sale in another week with new paint.
