Title: Test drive today
Post by: Chris G on March 12, 2003, 07:20:45 PM
Hi i test drove a R-B model today 96 model just arrived in the country,

have to say im a Z owner and looking for a rx7 and it blew me away it was awesome , the handling and everything was great nice response and sturdy steering and very smooth compared to the Z,

48000 miles but wanted 12k for it? i thought that was a little over priced to say the least, ive been checking the net and looking at importers and there prices , really id like to spend around 8k am i been a little scared at this price?
 

i see some importers will get me a 96 model for that price all in ?

can anyone help plz and point me in the right direction as win where to go and who to get one thru ? and pricing etc :)

thanks Chris

Hi,

I think you\'ll be very lucky to get a 96 for 8k:)

The only 96 car you\'ll get for 8k is a damaged repaired 12k for a 96 model is the expected price to pay for an rx7.

I have a 92, silver, auto, new ported engine 3000 miles ago, scoot vented bonnet for cooling, prob rx\'s biggest killer heat, good clean car, thats 8k. Dread to think what you\'d get on a 96.

Hi, yes at totb best in the black 3rd gen, wait till this year, will be awsome.
Dont have a price as I bought it with a new engine in, Carl on our list built it, and to be honest, I would not let anyone else build an engine for me now. He is building a new engine for black car for me. And possibly my yellow 3rd Gen soon.
