I'm probably gonna buy my sisters' b/f's RX-7. Its got a salvage title due to electrical problems. No body damage at all. It has rims, exhaust, intake, BOV, turbo timer and a boost controller. It's got 96K miles on it. It's a red touring edition. The main problem with it is that it needs new rear bushings and speakers. Engine is fine. Will need a rebuild in 2 years if well taken care of. Turbo's are starting to die out. It's going to be about 12 grand. Super clean. What do you all think.

Wait, are the electrical problems fixed?

nopistons94 05-25-2004 09:27 PM

really hard to sell salvage titles in the long run

yeah i agree with nopistons93 salvage titles are tought for resale down the road. 12k seems steep for a car wiith 96k on it and will need a new motor and turbos....also as bobby asked are the electrical problems fixed?

nopistons94 05-25-2004 09:37 PM

my friend got a clean title 93 VR with 85k on body and new engine and turbos for 13.5k so ... just look a little harder and you'll be fine man, **** the salvage **** you'll regret it in the end bro.

^^^agreed...just be patient it will come man

U8MyRice 05-25-2004 10:44 PM

Yeah. The electrical is fixed. It's the cleanest 7 I've ever seen. He's had it for 5 years and has had no real problems. Just the norm.

well, fd's arent really investments that you will eventually sell, buy it if you think its a good price, and just hold on to it

You really don't want a reason to start disliking your sisters's boyfriend. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683358.gif It'll come naturally. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png My advice stay away from it.

for all the work that your going to need to do within the next 2 years, plus a salvaged title 12k is over priced, you can find better buys, plus mix'n family and business is going against one of the 10 crack commandments. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif
