Rx-7Addict said that he sold it for 3400. The guy selling it now is just adding in the cost that he had to have it shipped to his house. Thats probably why he says he paid 4400

This is the kid who bought RX7addicts car....my thoughts on the situation....
I called this kid up telling him I loved his car, and needed a car to get me to and from school work etc. But also something that was going to break down on me.
I know getting into rotarys isnt the best idea if im gonna buy a car, but he asurred me it ran solid....I paid 3400 car the car, and near another 1100 to have it shipped. I recieved this car thinking it would run great and everything was gravy........well, the car didnt evan start off the trailer. Not to mention the car had a crunched rear bumper, a muffler that fell off....and a mess of ripped and ghettoed head unit wires. so then I had to walk 2 miles to autozone, buy a battery. Then drove it home to find out A- It didnt boost right, B- The interior was hacked and cracked, C- trhis was the worst of all, It was leaking oil LIKE CRAZY! I took it to a local shop and they said it was a laeking part form an oil return something.....
anyways.......Im not really that mad at the previous owner, cause to be honest hes a good guy and everything went smoothly. Im just need to buy a car that runs good no matter what. I;E honda..Witht the money i put into shipping and many many repaiurs, im trying to get at least what I lost in shipping. I say 4300 isnt a bad price for a well running fc, with a fantastic paint job.

you should have asked more. like they say in the car biz, there's an *** for every seat. I paid $5,000 for this supposedly (bite me) OUTSTANDING 88 vert in July, and immediately started pouring cash into it to the tune of approx $5,000 more. But it's worth it to me. The only thing that I am pissed about is that the moron lied to me and I fell for it cause I loved the car.

the car never once broke down on me and I drove this car 30 miles to and from work every day May-September, no problems

The car boosts perfectly, slowly builds boost in all the gears right up to about 6.5psi (factory)
C- trhis was the worst of all, It was leaking oil LIKE CRAZY! I took it to a local shop and they said it was a laeking part form an oil return something.....

from teamFC3s ad
Then I saw the car in person and talked to many mazda people, and they told me with the new paint job and how can and well it ran, I could get 5 grand

I hope you do sell the car. I hope it goes to an enthusiast. Obviously you are not happy with the car. I was completely honest when I sold the car, we had many detailed conversations. I was convinced this car would go to someone who would love it and take care of the car and keep it looking as nice as it did when it left my driveway. Clearly if you wanted something of the utmost reliability, you are absolutely crazy for thinking a 16 year old rotary turbo car with 136k would be it. I still dont understand why you havent contacted me about the car. A simple "I got it, it didnt fall off the trailer" would be nice. Or even a "I cant get it started Im really pissed" would work too. That Turbo II is a rare car and my baby, so Im glad youll be selling it to someone who can appreciate it
