Hi all. I'm not a Californian/live on the east coast and am wondering if anybody might be willing to check out an FD for me in the Simi Valley area, sometime over the next two weeks if possible? I realize it's not much, but might be up for PayPal'ing someone $$$ for a decent lunch and/or a case of beer or something, if I wind up buying it. (and am not totally broke, haha) Thanks in advance!!

 

Ask the seller to have it inspected by tri point in Canoga park, they should give you a pretty fair assessment of the car.

 

Thanks, it's actually been there & had the engine given an excellent bill of health, after they replaced all the fuel/vacuum lines, and plugs. What I was interested in was somebody checking out the rest of the car, (it's got some little issues but sounds like in general, is solid), though I just found out the engine wasn't actually "rebuilt" 12k ago.. it was simply replaced by a reman Mazda unit, (prior to Tri-Point's inspection and minor repair/at a different shop) & had the little external stuff replaced. Does anybody have experience with a factory redone rotary/feelings whether this is better or worse than a rebuild by a reputable shop?
