Should I buy a turbo 2?

Hello

I am new to the forums, and new to rx7s, about 3 years ago I nearly purchased a 3rd gen rx7, but I was not financially stable to buy the car outright, and I was told you couldn't finance such an old car. (93) Well 3 years have passed, and I am back in the market for an rx7 again, I saw on a local forum, a 88 Turbo 2. Heres the thing, I don't know much about working on cars, I haven't ever worked on a motor before, but I am more than willing to learn. The car I am looking at is HEAVILY modded, its got 3000 miles on the new motor, and it has a LONG list of goodies, the guy says that he babies the car, and never boosts over 10lbs, so on and so forth.

On the other hand I am willing to learn, and spend many hours hunched over the car learning and working on it. I know little about motors, and NOTHING about rotaries. Should I take the plunge?

LMK

If you have to ask that, probably not...

id have to agree with 13b4me, but who knows. Get it, if you like it, u like it. Its been rebuilt, what kinda problems could u run into. have a compression check on it and see how good that turns out and then if the price is good. pay for it. its ur choice, u dont have to ask us permission.
