if you have the money to fix the issues on it, and you know how to work on these cards id say its not a bad find as long as you drive it and everything (other then the heating problem) looks fine... so if your looking for a project car then yes, if your looking for a reliable RX-7, then no

No RX-7 is worth $500... What a rip off *sarcasm* Seems like a legit deal. Just needs tabs and possibly a thermostat, although it could be a dreaded coolant seal failure but you never know... But for $500 seems like a good deal

There is a very good chance that alot of what was said is a lie. Im betting taht that car is hyper's old car, that was sold to my brother who lives in yelm, that he just sold to some guy that also lives in yelm. sounds like the same problems. Its a red car.

And has definitely not been repainted form red. It's obviously an extremely beat up original spray

I was going to go see if I could pick that up..since it's what I can afford :P.
Regardless of the fixing it would need. (I'm still working on permit/license so no rush.)
But then..I realized..I don't know anything about cars.


..Then I got sad. lol
