I'd pay $14-15k for it if the whole thing is in excellent shape.

You need to do a lot more research before heading out and buying the first FD that comes along. Check these sites out:

Hehe, just trying to help you out. In reality, almost any FD you find is going to need some work, even if it has been maintained well. The biggest money items are new motor, turbos, tranny, and paint. If those four things are in good shape, you'll be alright. Use the buyer's guide link I gave you so you know what to look for and what to take with you (boost gauge, if the car doesn't have one). Good luck.

hey man, 1st or 6th, make sure you know what you are doing. Not knowing what an FD is might be a good indicator to read around some more. I started researching the hell out of RX-7s a while back, got on Robinette's site for the first time over the summer, joined the forum in the fall, and finally found an FD right for me that I bought in mid feb. Learn first, lest ye f' up later....
