It's not my style, and I'm not sure I would buy an RX7 for that price. I certainly wouldn't have a car dyno tuned but never take it racing or to HPDE track days, I don't understand adding power and then never using it. If you like it I suggest a rotary-specific compression check, good photos of the engine and interior and underside of the car, and a video showing the cold start and idle. If you get as serious as a test drive, make sure it can restart if you turn it off after it's fully warmed up.

The problem is it’s been modded to said users taste. They expect super high original pricing for something that’s far from it. This being said, 68g’s cdn is about 40-43g’s US. Which isn’t all that high all things considered.

If someone was looking to do those type of mods anyway, it’s probably in their best interest to check it out. Especially with the new season fast approaching.
