The guy says the engine still runs strong. For $600, I don't think you can beat that

The seats are from a base model. Didn't the 10AE also have the cassette deck? Hmm, it looks like it had rear end damage (spoiler gone, RX-7 badge gone, 3rd brake light broken). I agree - not bad at all from the looks of it.

Geez, even with a blown engine that's still a good deal!

Yeah, it should have the leather seats.

**** don't ask me. I never had a 10AE!

Look around the fuel cap, but the fenders bulges look straight. It looks like MAYBE it was slightly hit in the rear. The guy said the rear spoiler broke off, which is why he removed it. Weren't the rear spoilers made of rubber?

It's in the middle of the Pocono mountains in PA. For all we know, the guy could have either slid backwards into a tree, or he backed up into a deer

Really though, for $600. Gad damn. It beats the chevette I had for a first car. I corrupted my cuz when I took him for a few rides in the FD

Don't worry. I told him to make sure he makes good use of the search button

Look at the taillights, they are not "real" as they have been painted. The 10th Anv. did not have paint (vertical) connecting the upper and lower lenses and is that a glass sunroof??? I would definately check the vin #'s to make sure that this is a 10th Anv.

i know the steering wheel is real 10th anniv. because it says so, the shifter looks real too, because my friend got a 10th anniv and the shifter and boost looks like that.

the 10ae doens't have a glass sunroof. i would definately check the vin to be sure. and i think someone mentioned it but the paint code should be uc. check under the carpet and in hidden places like that to see if it has been repainted

Almost everything else can be faked...

Get the VIN - all the 10th's are within a certain VIN range.
