though i don\'t want to scare you off the beautiful rx7\'s, i wouldn\'t recommend buying one unless you are knowledgeable about cars and rx7\'s, they require a lot of work, and most of the time alot of money too. Though if you want to learn about how to do the various job\'s yourself, the rx7 is perfect :D

there are a few for sale on here, check the for sale section


and welcome :D

where are you in Northampton?
rust rust rust and rust are the main things!
bottom of the seals, lift the rear seat out and check the inner wheel arches
outside rear arches go, there is also a patch on the chasis leg under the bonnet passenger side near the steering arm (these are usually always patched by now)
interior wears well so no problems there, electric windows may be slow easy fix though, just check everything works
engine wise check for recipts for a rebuild look for lots of smoke (there will alway be somw smoke as rotarys burn oil but once warm there whouldn\'t be harldey any best thing to do is find one if its close enough i can check it for you, look in the for sale section under my name i have a friend selling a nice gen 1
best advice is you get what you pay for so it depends on your budget!
