Hey guys,

First of all, this is my first post here , yeah...

Second, I'm looking to buy a 3rd gen RX7 in or around Austin, TX. Anyone know anyone selling? Looking on Autotrader, almost everything for sale is up in Dallas. Any suggestions?

Thanks for any advice.

That's where you'll find most cars that are highly desirable are gonna be in Dallas.

 

Why is that? Just a function of it being a bigger city?

Also, what should I be expecting to pay? I realize cost is going to be a combination of a lot of things (miles, year, accidents, etc..) but it seems like prices range everywhere from 10k-20k with most being around 15k. Should I really be expecting to pay NADA guide price, a little more, or a lot more?

 

How much do you have to spend?

 

10k-15k, although lower is always better

 

10-15 is insane unless it has low miles and is immaculate, I wouldn't pay over 10, I've seen a few here and there for 7-8, but Fd's a re much harder to come by then 2nd and 1st gens. Just be patient and do your homework and you should be able to score something nice for around 8-10, unless it's in unbelievably good shape. be careful out there

 

10-15 is pretty modest. You'll get a decent FD, but nothing great.

 

Well that's exactly what I want . Something stock or close to stock in good shape that I can modify and play with.

I've had a TT Supra and an S2k in my past, but since I got a house last year, I sold them and bought an SUV to haul stuff around. Now I'm getting the itch to get another fun car, and preferably something I can modify as time and money allow. Getting another Supra is just too pricey for me, but I think an FD is just the ticket. So anyway, I'm not looking for an HP monster or a showroom candidate, just something that runs and is fun. Heck, even something that doesn't run at a good price would be ok.
