Hi in the market to buy an FC soon.

Hi

signed up for the forum because always loved rotaries. FC RX7 Turbo is pretty much my attainable dream car.

Good luck.... don't buy a junk car. The nice ones are expensive are for a reason. Don't get into anything that requires too much or have some kind of story. Find the one you want and not the one you can afford. If there is a significant difference between those 2 things then save up and be patient until the difference fades. Don't set yourself up for disappointment and trials.

Thanks yall.
And I hear ya on buying the nice car from the start. Most of my past cars have needed a ton of work, for once it would be nice to start with a clean and mostly functional vehicle. Pretty well versed with working on cars at least as a result however.

Good luck on your search. Clean turbo2 cars are getting more and more rare. Just have a look at Bringatrailer for example. The number of clean FCs that have gone through there is dwarfed by the number of FDs. Granted they tend to pull the larger BAT audience, but it's telling how difficult it is to source a clean one.

I spent probably 3 years waiting for a local one to come up for me, and even then, it had a blown engine and needed a lot of restoration work (and still does)
My low miles car was probably 4 years of searching and waiting.
