i am looking at a 1988 anveresy edition rx7 for 2000 it has 140,000 miles and new paint (the orginal white) the car is in good shape the only thing wrong is when you shut it off it will not start for a couple of hours becuas it floods out i do not know much about the rotery or the rx7 YET but for my first one is the 10th A.E. RX7 A good buy or a bad buy and are they as rare as i was told by the owner he said 2nd rarest becuas only 1500 shiped in the us but is that good/bad for the value in the long run and if it breaks down am i going to pay a arm and leg for parts more so than another style or year





any input will be verry helpful

I paid $2150 for my AE with 160k and 40k on rebuilt engine. They are not too expensive if you do the work yourself. Just keep up on the maintenance and it should be a decent car. Do you know if it is on its original engine?

If the engine hasent been rebuilt, it will need it very soon. As for 2k ... umm where do you live?



damn it! you are whoring faster than me! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/*******.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683454.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683329.gif

The AE is the same as all other 88 TIIs mechanically. They just have that killer black leather interior.



Check the compression to get an idea of the core engine's condition. Even if the engine were marginal, in my book, $2k, if the rest is in really good shape, wouldn't be too much. They don't seem to be all that rare in actuality, but they're a turbo and have that sweet interior. I'm not so keen on white cars, but I wouldn't mind the AE.



The flooding thing is very common (mine does it - just keep the pedal to the floor until it catches on hot-starts). The reason seems to be leaky injectors, low compression, ecu inherent problem, vacuum leak or a combination. It seems to be a tough one sometimes. I've read cases where they've had the injectors serviced and had good compression and still had hot-start problems.



Buying guide.



These forums are a fantastic source of information. The factory service manual is available for download. These cars have lots of support. I think it's a sign of the integrity of the average rotary enthusiast. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png
