Thinking about buying 93 FD R1
It has a salvaged title, heavily modified, but it has 11k on new motor and turbos. Rebuilt tranny also. He wants 11k. What do you think?

Like everybody else has said, look for a car with a clean title. RX-7s are a pain in the *** enough without having to worry about what else could be wrong on a salvage car.
Furthermore, I would advise you to look for a low mileage car and pay a little bit more. Don't worry about getting something that is "highly modified." I've learned that its best to do it yourself and make sure its all done the way it should be.
I bought a "highly modified" car with a new engine/turbos with less than 20,000 miles on them. In 6 month the diff. needed rebuilt, the tranny was trash and the engine blew into a bunch of unusable parts.
I'm spending a lot more money now than if I would have bought something with real low mileage and gone from there.
