I think my RX-2 is for sale

Well, short story is that I'm not allowed to have this many cars parked here anymore Plus my BMW needs a lot of work. I am going to have to sell the RX-2 soon, would anyone like to come take a look at it so it doesn't wind up on ebay?

You can read way more than you ever needed to know about my car here:
http://www.thedotcommune.com/rx2.txt

and you can see slightly old pictures of it here:
http://thedotcommune.com/album.php?id=31

i'll take more photos of everything including the parts that come with it this week. I've spent a reasonable amount of time with it and I've fixed and replaced quiet a lot on the car, I'd really rather keep it but circumstances are such that I don't think I can.

yes, you know you want one

I will be in class all day tomorrow but on Thursday I'll actually be around so I can take photos if anyone would like additional pictures. For now just take a look at the links above.

it's almost all just surface rust but I think there's one tiny hole on the rear one. I will double check that on Thursday but I know this is a common RX_2 problem and really on this car it's not terrible. The other one I had (the red one) had this problem and it was very bad.

Thanks. I will wait a week before listing the car on ebay then.

why not dump the bmw
While I really like the Mazda the BMW takes precedense a hundred times over, it's worth a lot to me (probably over $10k invested in it) and it has a lot of sentimental value, and it's an incredible car.

sorry, I will not be able to buy this one. Wife said ok but have to finish my other poject., a 73 rotolla-AKA mango. I dont wanna hold up the sale of that nice RX-2 since it will take a couple more months for this project to complete.

Thanks.

yeah, craziness.

almost complete... the guy who bought it is in Germany (yikes) and he needs to send me a money order and send a company out here to pick it up, take it to LA, and ship it to him. Sounds like he's into restoring, he buys a lot of USA MAzda parts on Ebay and he told me to take the BMW seat out and put the original seat back in.
