Buying a new one

So i getting ready to go look at a 87 rx7 next week with 250,000 miles a new alternater and a new battery thats all the info that he gave me.

the guy wants to trade me for my 74 ford f250 that runs perfectly i love this truck.

i dont really need the rx7 but I've become kind of addicted to them i'm just basically asking if this car sounds like a good trade for my truck.

If the truck is worth more than $750 to you, keep it. The rx-7 will generally not "run perfectly," especially with that kind of mileage. If you enjoy working on cars and do not need the toy to be reliable, then rx-7s are great. Lots of bang for the buck assuming you can fix it yourself.

i already have an 88 rx7 and i know a little about them, plus i'm on the club all the time learning alittle hear and there.
so my real question i guess is how many more miles do you think are left on the car?

"...how many more miles do you think are left on the car?"

If the engine has never been rebuilt, assume zero. Maybe less.

Easy. Seals that are already malfunctioning.
