Buy a used Miata until you can afford to buy an RX7. Don't waste time trying to get some loan. Miata's are just as much fun just not as fast. You can learn to really drive in a Miata and you can pick one up for 3 grand. They're super reliable and not too expensive to insure.

Some people have this proconceived notion that a Miata is for girls or something. Hopefully if you're self confident you won't let that get to you. I have a Miata and a 3rd Gen and if one had to go it would be a tough call. The 3rd Gen is damn fast but the Miata is more fun. Like a little go-cart.

Just my 2 cents...

it really depends on how the car was treated with the other owners that have owned it. i got my FD 3-4 months ago and all i have spend on it is 10 dollars on a water pump gasket, 20 bucks on 2 oil changes, and 20 bucks on spark plugs. i guess you have to have the rotary like you

rotary god

arrrggg i bought my FD about 2 months ago....i had to replace the clutch and now something is definetly focked. it's all about luck man, just like anything in life if you want it dive in and don't look back.
