Hi everyone:





I do live in Europe, and want to buy a third gen, so I have decided to go overseas



How much can cost a rx7 third gen in usa?



I don't want a flawless car, I am looking for a "minor body deffects, minor engine deffects" car.

Something that would need work, but not a major project. Something that could run for a few months without big issues I mean..





I have seen a few cars on ebay, they go the way between 6K and 8K.

Btw I saw others on autotrader a way more cheap.



What should I be looking for?

I'd say 11k price range. A car on its original motor between 60-75k miles.

I have been offered in Europe two Rx7.

38750mi for 13750 USD

40000mi for 16000 USD



I was wishing to find something in the states for less than 7500 USD, with a mileage around 90.000K



What do you think about it?

We use left handed vehicles... I would be forced to convert it to left handed, and would be expensive
