Hello! It seems no one really lurks in the actual intro section nor does it seem that I'll meet many local folks there. So I figured an intro in the NE section migth work better. My name is Marc and I live in Levittown, PA not far from Philly. I've been an RX7 fan since before Fast and the Furriest came out. My first car was a 1993 Geo Prizm, then a 1998 Mazda Protege, then a 1995 Mazda MX-6, then a POS Saturn. I haven't owned a car since 2005 and want to buy an RX-7 to have fun with on the weekends.

I work roughly 10-12 hours a day as a financial advisor. I am also a huge tech/computer geek and love X-Box 360. I'm also an Eagles (Football) fan. Lastly, I love music, just about anything but polka and am a particular fan of grunge rock.

I have a couple questions. I'm looking at a 1993 Mazda RX-7 to buy. The fella I'm talking to seems to be a respectable person and I'm taking his statements as truth. I'm hoping to get some people’s opinions on the price/car before offering to outright buy it. I live in Pennsylvania and the car is in Michigan so I want to be sure I'm getting the best deal possible before buying a plane ticket or driving out.

Stats
• The car has 120,000 miles roughly.
• Oil/Filter change every 3k
• Spark Plugs every year
• Coolant every other year
• Air filter every year
• Fuel filter every 20k
• Turbos were rebuilt around 83k
• Vacuum hoses were sealed with silicone
• Water hoses were replaced 3 years ago.
• Still original engine and no seals have been replaced in the last 10 years
• Clutch was replaced with an ACT Street clutch about 30k ago

Modifications (I'm not crazy about it not being stock, but that don't seem to intense)
• Free flow exhaust (Has the stock equipment still which I might ask to have put back one)
• Racing beat muffler
• Intake pipes were replaced with metal ones
• Intercooler was replaced with an all metal one
• Pettit chip was added for a boost increase
• Air Pump / EGR was removed and sensors were replaced with resistors.

The interior looks to be in good condition aside from some wear on the drivers side speaker and the steering wheel and the body of the car looks good with normal w/t.

I offered him $9000 cash for the car.

Any thoughts?? I specifically asked about the engine, seals, clutch. The engine has never been overhauled so I'm anticipating some expense there to get it into good working order.

With any luck I should own this car by the end of the month.

Thanks a bunch for reading.
