I need your help guys, I'm thinking of going a 3rd gen rx7 tt....but I hear lots of horror stories about maintenance, can you help me figure all this out and find the factual information?

What is maintenance like on these things, how can I be sure that I'm going to get a good one?

Should I just go for a vr-4?

 

It's true that the 3rd gen rex is a bitch to take care of, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Try asking the 3rd gen forum.

 

sounds like the 7 is more like a wife then a car...

 

and he is saying that about an auto!! that should be enough said righ tthere

 

any 7 will perform as well as you treat it. take care of it PROPERLY and its no worse than any other car.

 

well, as much as i admire the rx-7's, i found my baby...95 VR-4...yumm

let's just hope insurance doesn't make this not possible

how much is insurance on a tt rx-7 vs a vr4? (ballpark)

 

VR-4

I'd imagine the insurance would be about the same. Based on your age and location, I would guess $3000-$3500 per year. You can get 10% knocked off of that if you have a "B" average or better in school. Not many students know about this. Even better is the deal I've got. My car is on my father's contract as a weekend warrior and he pays less than $1000 per year! I don't know if that's fraud or not, but just don't say anything to the insurance company.
