RX-7 Reliabily Questions
Well i only have 10k and i would like a Gen 3 Mazda Rx-7.
People told me that the reliability is crap and i will spend 6k on replacement parts alone.
Well so before i buy it i decided to ask you guys what are your responses on reliability.
What did you buy for your rx-7.(not aftermarket, just replacement)

a new motor 3 weeks after i bought the car... and that was only with 15k miles original miles on it. 10k is no where near enough money to buy and maintain one of these cars imo you would need at least 15k.

Well what about if i get a heavily used one with 130k miles for 8k, and buy a new motor for ~2.5k.
How long would that last me and what would break down?

FD's are as reliable as you make and treat them. You might not find a manual FD for 10k, but I don't think an auto one is out of the question.
When I got mine, I swore I'd keep it stock, 4k later... Though I did spend a grand on replacing broken/worn out parts and maintenance.
