Exclamation How much is it gonna cost me...

For a decent running first gen 7. I'm not to concerned with astetics but I do want a good running car. Any idea how much I am gonna have to shell out to get one? I've seen a couple on here for sale and all are under 1k. Is 500 a good price for a running rx7? And by running I mean something that isn't going to need major work for another 5 - 10 thousand miles if not longer.

Input please?

Cool... there is an 84 sitting down on a lot rather close to my home, tomorrow I am thinking I might take a look at it to see how much they want for it.

Well if the body is in good shape go for it I do bodywork in my spare time if it would need it and im sure people here would be more then willing to help with questions you have about them.

well as with any old car its hard to garentee it wont break within 5-10K at what ever price you pay..... generally if the miles are low and car is in nice shape it prolly wont break..... you can find one under 1000 no problem.... 1000 would be a decent one for 500 u might find an avarage or kind of low condition one, then below that would probably be low,

now i got a 79 for 100 bucks and it runs like a top and is in good shape( well paint is bad but thats it))) !!! old woman just had to get rid of it!

Holy ****! 100 dollars? Crap if I could find one for that price, even not running overly well I would buy it right now!

Guess I need to keep an eye out for deals.
