Stumbled across an FD... need opinions on what its worth...

I've been into Rx-7s for the past few months... I bought a cheap FC in feb. of this year and rebuilt the motor and it currently is serving double duty as my daily driver and autox car... Tonight I stumbled across a silver 93 "touring?" for $3500. Its a 5 spd, 2 owner car(tennessee and florida), 113xxx miles, and the carfax report checks out clean. Most FDs in my area go for $15k+...

Now the bad... It has a body kit and big *** wing that I'm not in love with... nothing that cant be fixed... Looks pretty much stock under the hood... but I havent asked if there are any mods other mods... Doesnt say the engine is blown either but that could be a possibility too...

What do you guys think? Should I look into this car alittle deeper or should I let it go since it has been touched by rice? If this car is legit then is it a good deal?

Thanks for your time,
Rob

If you have to ask then you have not a clue about FDs.

Thumbs down Scam

Even with a blown engine a rolling chassis is worth more than that.
Cant be legit.....
