new 7!

Just thought I would gloat a little. I am the proud new owner of my second third gen. I sold my first one last fall, and couldn't resist buying another. Get this, I bought it from the original owner, who is 65 years old and just bought it for his wife for fun, it has been garaged ever since and only has 12500 miles on it! Still smells new! It is nice to find someone who actually took care of one of these babies.
I won't be modifying this one like my last besides, a downpipe, cat back, and intake box. Maybe an upgraded computer, and that is it. If any of you are selling any of these please let me know.

take it easy

I bet that the turbos weren't cooled down properly.

it is not an auto, and as far as the turbos go, this couple never drove the car hard enough to damage the turbos. they also live far off the beaten path back in a neighborhood which would warrant plenty of slow, low rpm driving before the engine was shut down.

I traded the guy my 2001 Dodge Ram 4x4 for his car and gave him $3500. So I gave him about 24 for it.
I will have a couple of pics soon.

I will post a couple of pics soon. It is a silver Touring model, with black interior.
I had listed my truck in the paper for sale, and while I went through the paper to check my ad, I thought I would just see what was listed under Mazda, and I saw 1993 RX-7, mint condition, 11k miles. I thought it was a misprint, so I called the guy, who turned out to be a 64 year old retired gentleman, who said yes, it is a misprint, it actually has 12k miles on it! I still doubted it's perfect condition until I saw it. If he had only known about the forums, he probably could have sold it much quicker. If I wouldn't have bought it, it would have sat for another 5 months in his garage covered, until he got back from his summer home!
