Hi all, I was just wanting a profeshional opinion from all you guys on this car http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/cars_search.asp?searchform=&modelexact=1&lid=search_used_cars_full&photo=1&state=none&sort=&hassearched=Y&make=MAZDA&min_pr=7000&source=0&model=RX7&max_pr=8000&agerange=&mileage=&miles=1500&trim=&keywords=&postcode=ex16+8jj&ukcarsearch_full.x=25&ukcarsearch_full.y=8

(Its the 1992 MAZDA RX7 Turbo,Black,49,000miles,Enkei blue and black wheels etc.Being sold by a company called charlsworths Priced at £7,995

Basically I was just wondering if you think this is a good price for this car? It is a fresh import and is being prepared for me for next tuesday when I am going to pick it up. But before I do I just wanted to hear what afew of you thought about it? The main thing I am worried about is the fact it has done 49,000miles and I really dont want to buy it then have to pay for a rebuild for acouple of years, do you think it will be ok???

Hope to hear back from someone,Thanks Dan

Deleted my comments,read the wrong bloody add!!!

Right found the right one so here goes! In my honest opinion i don\'t like the look of it. Bad fitting bonnet,might be able to adjust it on the catch. Not sure on those alloys either. Looks like something is missing from the rear apron by the number plate surround. Definately need to see the paper work for the mileage. Any idea whats hanging down in the cockpit shot?
Best colour though!! Too much money though!!!!!!!!!

Man, £7995 is goin a bit. You could get a car with a fresh rebuild for less.

[grinder]

if there is NO rebuild then i would say its rather expensive - but thats just me

for that price - buy a 4-5K ebay car - and get a rebuild done for £3k and you KNOW its been done

[chrisBoid]

I think you could get more for your money, just look through the for sale section on this site for the low prices that some of these cars are going for.
The price will always be higher if sold by a trader as they have more costs to cover.

If it has been modded (it mentions 300bhp, a \'92 was around 265bhp standard, plus I can see an aftermarket exhaust) then the 49k miles may be nearer the engine lifespan than you think.

anyone else seen the Dragon drag car on there for sale? £25000 (i think) if anyones interested?

[Crazy Eddie]

Don\'t mean to be a kill Joy but have to agree with what has been said.
That is more than double what I paid for mine and it could well need a rebuild soon.
The aftermarket stuff is only worth extra if that\'s exactly how you want it. But IMHO I would (and did) go for one for £3500 and budget for rebuild and extra bits to your taste.
I mean I\'ve even seen single Turbo ones on here going for that kind of money and newer too!!! So take a look on here first and look at loads don\'t just buy with heart as it can be expensive buy with head all good things come to those who wait.
All the best whichever way you go but keep us updated.:wave

[Hayward North]

Id be inclined to agree as well. My car was originally 6k with loads of recipts for work including engine rebuild so look around a little more.

Hi guys, Thanks alot for all your replys it is greatly appreciated. I was really worried about the fact that it had done this many miles but I do really like the car. However I know you guys ar experts in this so I think I will take your advise and not buy it.

This is the other car I was looking at:
http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/www/cars_search.asp?page=1&searchform=&modelexact=1&lid=search_used_cars_full&photo=1&state=none&sort=&hassearched=Y&make=MAZDA&min_pr=6000&source=0&model=RX7&max_pr=7000&agerange=&mileage=&miles=1500&trim=&keywords=&postcode=ex16+8jj&ukcarsearch_full.x=28&ukcarsearch_full.y=8

It should be the third 1 down, Black,6000miles,1993. It is from a company called Tony Guilbert car ltd.

I really wanted a car with a kit on, But this car is in black which is what I am after and it has had a full rebuild 6,000miles ago. The only thing I dont really like on it is the spoiler but other than that I think it is a really nice car.

What do you all think of this car as apose to the other one??

Again hope to hear back from you all, Thanks Dan

[Crazy Eddie]

This looks better IMO but make sure the rebuild is documented and still under warrenty otherwise could be exactly same problems.
Any reason you are only looking at dealers as at this time of year some real bargin private sales can be found?

[.Aklaim]

Yea unfortunatly I am looking at dealers as I am doing a part x so have no other choice. I am selling a custom VW transporter you see, so not alot of traders are intrested in doing a partx as it is an unusuall vechicle. But out of all the people that have said they would do a part x these are the best cars in my opinion.

My vechicle is up for sale and hopefully someone is coming to look at it tomorrow. Hopefully I will get £8,700 for it. So if it sells I will have the money to look privately which will be a big help. Unfortunatly If it does not sell I will have to do a partx as I was cought speeding the other day, so if i dont buy my RX7 soon the points will be added to my licence and Insurance will go up abit to much;) I only have about 5 more days to reply to the speeding offence and get my points and fine so really wanted to buy my car this weekend.

Fingers crossed that this guy buys my van tomorrow If not then i think the car in the secon link I posted will be the car for me

Also guys just to ask, where is the part on this forum where there are cars for sale so that I can have a look???

[Crazy Eddie]

All the best with your sale then & have a look here:

Post a picture of the van up fella, just out of interest!

My company used these for years, also a friends company (he works for an ICE company) has just painted one in urban camoflauge (sp?)!!!:driving

Good luck with finding your car!:)

1st one.

Someone can\'t tell there Enkei’s from there Advans… well over priced for a 92 with no rebuild and relatively stock. I wish they were that much, but sadly, its not worth that even with a rebuild. 5.5 maybe 6K Max.

2nd one.

Doesn’t look as nice as the 1st one and those wheels are hideous! Still top money for a stock car. You can get something better from the adverts on here at a better price.

Best bet sell your current car and at this time of year get one from Japan, they are so cheap at the moment, talk to an importer that has direct links to garages in Japan (not auction halls) who will be able to source a car to a specification you’re after. Then once it’s delivered the weather should be getting nice so you don’t have to learn to drive an RX7 in the rain.

Good luck with your future purchase.
