Hello! My name is Andrew from the flint area of Michigan. I've been a huge fan of rotaries for years, I'm currently trying to obtain a t2 as we speak! Wish me luck that ill sell my broken awd talon to get one of my own! I'm here for guidance and advice! I know once I get one ill be a member for life!

 

a Talon?..really Andrew?..a Talon?
you came to the right place to look at real cars!..lol!
Welcome!, and I hope you find the Forum is a great place to be!

 

I'm new too but welcome!

 

You don't need to tell me misterstyx!!! Haha I've been in the Dsm world for over 8 years and never had anything reliable enough. My first eclipse sat in the garage for 3 years while I tried to get it running again, most of my problem was funds. And this talon I own now, blew up the second day of owning it just taking it out for a drive. I wasn't even beating on the thing! So what did I do? Called a friend put a built bottom end in and another 3k in go fast parts, drove it around, and I'm still having annoying issues with it..=\.

So I'm finally throwing in the towel and looking into rotaries. Being 25 years old and owning a talon makes me feel like I'm in high school still. I want a car that's going to turn the heads of everyone, create good hp, look clean and nostalgic. This fc I'm looking into is perfect or that!

It's a 10th anniversary t2 s4 with 40k original miles. The owner said a tree fell on the roof last year and has been sitting since. He seemed like he would sell it, but for the right price, he told me to throw him some offers. I meAn this car is clean! Other than the smashed in roof, the frame looks straight and very little rust. Still has original everything down to the stock cassette player! So it's in raped.

How much do you think I can get this for guys? Mind you this chap is moving down to Florida in 2 months and he said he's going to "chop the top and make it into a roadster" uhh Please don't ruin a 10th anniversary s4. So what could I offer him for a car with a smashed roof to save him the trouble of trailering it down?

 

I was going to offer him 2000 for the car...is that reasonable? Too much? Not enough?!

 

Hey Andrew glad to see you pursuing an rx7 finally. Hope you can pick the car up for cheap.

 

Welcome to the forum! I'm originally from Lapeer. What are your plans for the car?

 

well if i get it, basically keeping a stock like appearance and keeping it relatively drivable and not going to high in power. want one for more of a weekend car nice days and especially since the t2 im looking at only has 40k original miles on it obviously wanna hold that number down! haha but based on the pic how much would you offer this guy for a 10th anniversary one?

 

Honestly, I'm not sure how much luck you'd have repairing mainly because it's a unibody. I think you be better off buying that for as little as possible. Then find an FC with a straight body and maybe a bad engine and use this as an engine donor plus extra miscellaneous goodies.

 

Welcome to the forums !

 

ok but how much do you think its worth? the guy was overly excited for it being a 10th anniversary edition so he probably wants 6k for it! the way he was talking. and the plan was to get this and either stick everything into another car (which ive already found a decently clean gxl for 700$ or cut the roof off the gxl)

 

If it runs I'd offer about $2000. The T2 engine (if in good running condition with that little miles) is well worth every bit of $1500 and add $500 for the the body. I think it's a decent fair price. I paid $2000 for my GXL. It had/has some light body damage but only had about 45,000 miles on a pro rebuilt N/A engine.

 

Thanks for the advice! I think he said he paid 13k for it years ago and is only the second owner...but that was before a fricken tree fell on it! And it's been sitting for a year and a half!

 

No problem man. Good luck! Keep us updated!

 

Even if this deal falls thru I'm most likely using the money I get from my talon to put it towards a t2

 

Selling my talon Friday hopefully! Hopefully have a seven around next week!

 

So drew hows that car coming along, you kinda left use hanging.

 

I've been helping Andrew restore the 10ae and its crazy how fare we have come on it. Ill let him post some pics.

 

I know you pushed on the roof, better question is when are you guys cutting it off and placing on the new one?

 

Idk when are you going to buy a rotary Russ?

 

Any updates on the repair?

 

Hey Andrew, I hate you for showing me the realness of older 7's. Hahaa, Your cars going to be badass just like Tom's

 

Oh wow a talon. To each his own? Welcome to seeing the brighter side.

 

Hey Tom just letting you know i got a 10ae Rx7 today =D

 

Hey Andrew. I hope the roof fix is going well. Welcome to the AE club. I've got one down near Brighton. Where at in Flint are you at? I went to school at Kettering.
