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.

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?

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. It'll come naturally. 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.
