Need Advice on possibly picking up an RX7...
Here's the story on the car...
its a 1993 touring model. It's silver. It's an automatic (but we'll get into that later) and it's $6000
93k - 25k on the rebuild from KDR.
the ad shows " The engine is perfectly fine and the car is great. Brand new tokiko suspension put on 2 months ago, new breaks, battery, blowoff valve, intake, apex n1 exhaust. The car also comes with four 17 1/2 chrome rimms and tires, along with the original tires." and said "Comes with interior that needs to be painted and reinstalled." - So I inquired about this ... because I was like "whats up with the interior then?"
emailed and got the following reply...
"The interior deal is this. The guy before me decided that spraypaint would work as a suitable paint for vinyll. Dead wrong. When I bought it the spryapaint was peeling off of everything and the car looked a mess. I bought a new interior for
the car. All you need to do is prime and paint (2x coats) for the interior
pieces and install them into the car. "
So that doesnt sound that bad... I can do the interior work myself.
Also ...I've read a few threads here about the auto-manual swap ... seems average price was 2500-3500, so overall I get a nice rebuilt RX7 with 93k on the chassis... for 10k or so.
Is it worth it? Any cautions on this? thoughts in general?
Thanks

I wanted opinions from owners of if its a good deal.
I realize the auto-manual swap and the new-owners stuff is covered, but I'm talking about pricing.
Thanks for the welcome ... even if it did seem rather sarcastic.

Please read through the FAQ thread that is stickied near the top. If everything is good with the car and all of the interior pieces are there, and you are willing to put some work in on the interior, it could be a decent deal.
