I say if you like the damn thing and you believe from looking it over and driving it that the mileage is actual (or at least low), then just buy it. We could argue that the mileage was turned back but who really knows?? I have seen many RX-7's with low mileage. I mean several people that bought them new or used stored them during the winter, bad weather, etc. and a few just bought them for fun on the weekends. This mileage is not that unbelieveable.

those rims were probably put on the car in 1987 or 1988, those are some real old school mesh rims. I bet they were the cat's *** back in the day.

Are those wheels the stock kouki turbo wheels with an interesting paint job?
They were asking $8900. You got them to $5000? Either you are the worlds best haggler or they want to dump this car badly. It's a used car dealership - think about it. I hate to say this, but it's probably only worth $3500 to $4000 tops. 42k miles in 16 years. In a place that has a lot of good days of the year to drive? I wonder how long it was sitting off and on? Chances are it needs a lot of maintenance just due to lack of use. If it was driven much, the owners might have figured it didn't need as much maintenance. Or even worse, many of it's miles are verical (as on a car lift in a shop).
It's an '87 Turbo2. They aren't worth much. At least not that much. The only people that would be crazy enough to spend that kind of green is one of us.
When something seems too good to be true, it usually is.

I have put less then 10,000 miles on my car in the 7+ years I have owned it, but one can easily tell a original low mileage car from one that isnt. If you cant tell the difference Turbosmoke, get it to a mechanic who can. All the hoses,clamp,wiring should be original. Tires might even be, the rear brake pads should be original, the brake rotors should definitly be original, exaust should be original, fuel filter could even be original, wipers perhaps, look at the pedals and the foot rest, the carpet, etc. Obvious road rash in the wheel wells and the front bumper.

anyone notice the battery is missing it's brace?
also the coolant level sensor wire doesnt look like it's routed the stock fashion, and is that a screw missing on the intake duct by the radiator? the right one?
I think there might be something fishy with that car.
so you just paid $6500 for a s4 t2?
