Ok I am having a hard time finding a price for this car. All of the following come from the orignal ad as well as emails:



1993 Mazda RX-7 Touring

Black, 5 spd., 117,000 miles

Mazda Reman installed @ 100,000 miles

Transmission rebuilt @ 100,000 miles

Clutch fork repaird, Clutch release bearing replaced

HKS Carbon Ti, HKS SSQV, SARD Radiator Cap

Defi Boost Gauge, HKS Fan Controller, HKS Turbo Timer

Alpine Headunit, Razo 400g CF Shift ****

New paint, Rotary Extreme CF Rear Bumper Guard



The car's A/C does not work, needs a new compressor.

Timing cover gasket needs to be replaced.

Compression test checks out very well.

he whole car was resprayed, everything was super super faded when i got the car last august. unfortuantely i let a family member do it and he did an 'ok' job. its def an improvement from what it was when i got it, but it's not show perfect. i've been told by a few people that alot of it could be buffed out.

yes, the turbos are original. my mechanic says the secondary has a very small oil leak. as a result this just means they will eventually need to be replaced or have a rebuild.

Pics look good inside and out except for the drivers seat(see attatchment).

Stock suspension, Stock FD wheels painted black w/ polished lip wrapped in Falken Azenis ST-115 225/50R16.



Thanks guys.

the timing cover job is like 12hours, everything has to come off the front of the engine, plus the oil pan.



a/c compressor is like $300ish new



um and its tan interior.... with crappy paint, if he's pointing out the paint is so/so in the ad it must look really bad.



id say you're looking in the $10k range, depending on how badly you want the car

Thanks. I can do the work on the gasket myself I just didn't know how involved it was so that won't cost any money just time.



The ac is also a negative for me since the part is kinda expensive then I have to pay someone to convert it.



The paint is also not a huge deal since I can do my own prep work and have a friend who works at a paint and body shop. Once again not a lot of money just huge amounts of time.



Plus I would have to replace the turbos soon.



The lack of reliability mods also has me a bit worried.



He was asking 11,250 but I think thats a bit much considering it all.

"reliability mods" dont really mean much of anything. the fd with the longest lasting motor i know of was 100% stock, and had never been worked on at all. it went 118k
