not bad for the price i would ask 2 things of the seller. 1 where was the motor rebuilt. 2 at what milage was the motor rebuilt. maby the milage was in there i never read it all. its good for the price thats alot of work to be done to a rotary for that price. if the motor was built properly its probably worth over 6k alone.

I wouldn't trust that car, just for the price alone. If everything is as good as he says it is he could have put it on craigslist for 20k and sold it.

Ask for cold and hot compression tests.

i hate the rims, i hate the body kit, i hate the ghetto tach in the dash, its a salvage title.

what are you looking for? plenty of nice cars for sale here on the forums. don't be afraid to travel for the right car.

Looks good. I wouldn't buy it just because of the salvage title and I would rather have a stock car to start with. I don't think it looks like a bad deal though.

Until you or a competent mechanic has laid their hand on it and given the car a thumbs up, I'd never touch a rebuilt title.
