rotarty right for me?
so i am not necessarily new to the car world but definently never been involved in rotaries...i have owned cars such as eclipses, 240sxs, and now an integra but there is an rx7 down the street being sold for 450 dollars..i am the only one who knows this place cuz i talked him into selling it.. i popped the hood and looks clean..definently rust but they say the only problem is a mass air flow sensor that is runnin about 180 dollars..this car is first generation i don't know much else..what do you think it is worth

It sounds like rotary us right for you ! A first gen for 450 is good, if it runs good after that mass air flow sensor, then you would do really good. Maybe try to persuade him to buy the mass air flow sensor and put it on, so you can see if truly that is all that is wrong with it. Sounds like a deal though, Hope you get into the rx7's !

To add to happy's post, see if he will do the sensor as a factored in price for the car (you pay actual cost IF that is all that is wrong). If he won't then maybe you can come up with one, test it yourself, then sell the sensor back into the rx7 community if you are REALLY interested.

Wow, a 2nd gen for 450 bucks? That right there is a real bargain...Just remember to take care of it well (like any other sports cars) but especially well cuz rx7s are special

Do it! join the dark side! haha, im thinking about getting myself an FD. Rotory or LSx FD is the question for me.
^^^^ Someone up there said RX7's are special. I totally agree, you see these cars less and less now days. Get it and be proud! Hopefully ill be in the same boat!

I got my first one two years ago, now I have two. Sometimes its love/hate - but after ALOT of other cars- I think I will always have an RX of some kind from now on.

I'd go for it, especially since its hard to find sub $500 cars period these days. That and they rx7s are a blast even in stock form.
Also, I'm fairly local so if you ever need any parts or help let me know.
