Got new job.... WTT/87 rx7 for more gas friendly DD(South NJ)

I got a new job, and I wont get a company car for atleast 90 days. Im not gonna drive the rx7 over 200 miles a day servicing my route.

Heres an update, over the last few weeks I've corrected alot of issues, and added some stuff to make it better.

All the parts that have been replaced:

Motor
Clutch
Rear Calipers(fronts were fine)
Rear shocks(fronts newer gr2's)
Starter
Alt.
Plugs
Fuel Filter
5/6 Port Actuator
All Speakers
Head Unit
Vatozone seat covers removed( having my seat say "Type-s" made me feel like I was going too fast
Rotary Performance catback in the garage ready to go on
Unknown brand short shifter(shift bushings repaired)
Wiper motor
Regrounded motor, some grounds were missing so I went through and regrounded almost everything(not all *** bright wire or anything)
rear speaker covers(uninstalled)
center vent

Known Issues:
Driver side ebrake cable froze(un hooked)
Black s5(89-91) front bumper & pass side fender
Wiper switch needs replaced
Motor mounts need done sometime, but not dire need
still has the rx7 2nd gear grind when cold

I daily drive it over 100 miles a day. I just took it down the Turnpike before it snowed(200 mile trip) eveything works fine, and I wouldnt hessitate to take it anywhere. Had 124,xxx when I posted this less than a month ago, now has 126,xxx
Extras:
Bazooka 8" tube/kenwood amp
Hardwired Bel radar detector
Super sweet filter/adapter on MAF
OEM 4 Piston front calipers(almost new pads)
16" chrome wheels(some like em some dont)
extra 16" set of Acura RSX wheels(2 tires/painted black)
Uninstalled used Rotary Performance Cat back
Duckbill wing

I just got a new job, and I wont be getting a company car for atleast 2 months. This is my daily driver and anyone that knows rotary's knows the gasmileage isnt all that great. I need something decent sized so I can keep a laser printer/laptop/digi camera and file bin in the trunk. No trucks please, hatchback vehicles prefered. Thanks!

John

not really trying to sell it, more interested in trading. I paid 1g + I put a few bucks into & so if I had to absolutely sell it, I'd want around 1700/neg.

No flaming on my price, I just wanted to put a rough idea out there, I open to negotiations I just really need a mor efficient DD

If you want to sell it, I could probably get like 1400-1500. I'm in need of a daily driver, my jeep is going to be gone soon.
