Exclamation Mazda RX-7 from Europe?

Hello!
I'm posting this thread although there is much to do and time to spent until my travel would begin inside Europe.
So, I will make notes on the important ones and take any advice that will carry with me.
I've planned to do a some kind diary here also, that You could see my progress!
First guestions:


-Where should I look for 3rd gen rx-7?
(Car store is required and it is mandatory when I'm acquiring rx7!)

-What do i need to be aware of when buying an rx7?
(Including from motor to its body!)

-What is the price range in rx7?
(How much I SHOULD and WOULD pay from a legend car like that?)

What is a good mileage etc.

If you guys know any dealerships from Europe that sell's even one or two Mazda's, then please let me know!

Sincerely:
TheGuyFromFinland

There kind of hard to find in Europe. Ive seen some in certain places like Germany, Belgium, and the UK.

-What do i need to be aware of when buying an rx7?

Alot of stuff! Engine compression #'s, rebuilt paperwork, turbos, supporting mods, mileage, and more.
-What is the price range in rx7?
(How much I SHOULD and WOULD pay from a legend car like that?)
They vary based on condition, mileage and mods 12,000 - 24 000
What is a good mileage etc.
I wouldn't buy anything over 60k unless it been completely gone through.

My FD Rx-7 is currently for sale in the UK. It wouldn't be too hard to get to Finland. If your interested let me know we can work something out.

That's the funniest part considering on buying. I am not at this moment interested on buying when it comes to this kind of car. Yes, the plan is to buy it in near future, year or two maybe. Until that I can't.
But the point is that how can i be aware of on cars condition and what to look for if the car ain't what it should be.
And of course information what needs to be taken care of inside the motor, exhaust system, drive shaft or CO2 emissions.
I do not have much experience on cars but it won't be a problem considering these circumstances in my life.

If I understand you correctly, you’re shopping for a car in Europe. As this is primarily a forum of North American members you will have to wait for one of the few European members to see it or do your own research on prices and exchange rates, Euros etc.
As to what to look for, go to the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) thread at the top of this section and scroll down to ‘B’ for Buying.
