right now i have an 89 celica gt and it inda sux i have to spend soooo much on repairs and i'll have to spend sooooo much more to get it to be fast enough. i am looking at an 86 - 88 (for insurance purposes) turbo. Are repairs more expensive because of the rotary? is it possible to get one for under 3000 thats no gonna need alot of money put in to it?

You can probably find a good one for around 3500. But under 3000 might mean the car is coming with a few problems. But you never know, good deals can pop up now and then.

You just have to be patient, especially when looking for a TII.

Even if you dont have "problems" with a TII, it will become a money pit anyways



Wait for a good one though. I waited almost a year for mine, and even then it covertly popped up under my nose in a classified ad for a rusted out 89 V6 firebird, "Also, 87 RX-7 Turbo, 63k, red, polished rims"



4 days and $4400 later it was mine
