The car is clean enough that it is worth it to convert it. Most 5spd cars are either trashed or overpriced. I want an unmolassed 3rd gen, not a beater. If it is clean to me, I am willing to do a conversion on it. I know thats another reason why the car went for so cheap.
I can drive standard, I just dont like the other 5 spds available.

RX-7 Bad Ass
iTrader: (55)
Hit up Autotrader and the For Sale forum. I just bought my car a little under a month ago, and I had about 5-6 VERY clean, low mileage, near stock 5-speeds to choose from within about 1000 miles from my home. Be willing to drive - I drove from Pensacola, FL to Knoxville, TN for my car, about an 8 hour drive. I got a 67,000 mile black '94 R2 for $14,700.
On Autotrader, do a search for any distance, then when the results come back sort by distance and start with the cars nearest to you. Be willing to drive, and you'll find plenty of nice cars.
But, I did find my car forsale here on the forum
.
If you have your heart set on that car on Ebay, call up the dealership that was listing it and see what they can do.
What's your budget like? It's MUCH easier to find a clean car if you go up to about $15k as well. I financed my car with Capital One auto finance - 6.2% interest, and a 60 month loan. Payments are about $290 a month.

Just because they are out of your price range, that doesn't mean they are overpriced. There are plenty of non-trashed and non-overpriced FD's easily found.
