NY Hello everyone!

Hello my name is Jonathan I live on Long Island, New York and have a Dodge 2500 diesel as my daily driver and am going in a few days to look at a 91 RX7 so I think I'm going to start getting involved in your forum. I already know a little about rotary's but if I need any help it's nice to know I can come here and ask.

OK I learned a lot from that thank you But I would like to know if this would be a good deal its a 91 rx7(not sure if its a turbo) for $2,250+tax and shipping with a broken moon roof broken power steering pump and 138,000 miles on it? I have about 7k to spend on this and don't want to run out of money without the car running... so if you could help I would really appreciate it

If its turbo then its worth the 2250 with the broken roof n steering pump try to get it cheaper I got my 91 with only cloggs cats for 1900 with hella extra engine parts and ****. It was worth the 5hr drive one way for it. Im in Suffolk LI also

I think its alot of miles....
and + shipping??? where are u getting it from??? i would try for someone local.... especially since you dont know much on rotary... u can have a shop look at it....

once you have the car shipped to you its your problem and the seller walks away with not a care in the world....
At least someone local might be more concerned about you coming back...

i would wait if im you... like i said...
go to the meets...
read more online...
and make a decision when you have more info on what your getting into...
I noticed a lot of people that hate rotary's, are because they didnt know what they were getting into.

by u telling me you couldn't tell if it was turbo or not...
Shows me that you should Def. do more research b4 u buy one

heres one for sale here in L.I. hes a long time member... and its around your price range
