If you are buying a used rx7 do not make any assumptions about it being reliable, it's a 10+ year old car that has a long list of liabilities. Before you buy either be confident in your mechanical abilities to fix the car yourself or be sure you have a local wrench/tuner type to keep you on the road. Also helps if this is not your only car.
