Well, My name's Jim, I've been looking at RX-7s for a few months now. I've always been interested in the Rotary engine, and well, RX-7s just look kickass when you see a well kept one on the street. I hope you all can help me with some questions I have!

Ok, any guesses on what model this might be?

" '87 Mazda RX7 Rare 2+2 Loaded,

PS, PB, PW, AC, pwr sunrf,

auto runs well, lthr seats

$1,500/obo. 805-895-4324 "

I was thinking most likely a GXL, the seller's phone isn't taking calls right now. The Auto kinda turns me off, but I would just be buying this to get a feel for the RX-7

Stay away from the auto! It shouldn't *kinda* turn you off - it should *really* turn you off.

that wont give you a feel for the 7. my vert is auto and i hate that it is. its very very slow and the s5 is the faster of the FCs. im talking 0-60 in 10 seconds or so. handles very well though.

if that car is in good shape it would be a good deal for you to part it out. and that would help you get familiar with all of the parts of the car.

and yeah its prob a gxl
