Possibly someone one else, been away with work.

it seems way overpriced to me for a stock car with no rebuild history.

FFS, its only done 31K - and you want rebuild history?

What do you think of the one in the link i posted???

The car originally posted was the one that i test drove a week or so ago, personally wouldn\'t touch it with a barge poll but maybe they\'ve put right the long list of things that would have put me off.

Such as what? I know nothing about RX7s really!

Hi N1ck. That is a nice looking car. But we think that 8k is asking too much for it.

Search on here, there is a red standard one going for around 6 K I think.

N1ck, these cars are beautiful, and the performance is stunning, but they can be a real money pit if you buy one with seemingly small problems, that ending up being big problems to put right.

As others have said, keep looking around, dont buy the 1st one you see.

[N1CK]

I\'ve seen the standard one. V.nice. What you guys think of buying imports? Should I steer clear? and why am i confused about the 1.3/2.6 thing?

Water dripping from boot lid means botched window seal or dodgy spoiler mounts, if the former, good luck finding an auto glazier who\'s willing to take it out to re-seal it. Either fault will fill the brake ABS ECU with water so it goes pop, which will be big money. Don\'t take a chance it\'s JUST alternator bearings or pulleys grumbling, could be maskin other problems. Alterantors are not exactly cheap, anyway.
 
Don\'t buy it if it ain\'t 100%, they\'re so cheap just now you\'re better off waiting for the right one and buying one already in the UK with good history. A fresh import without provenance is a russian roulette game! Trust me, I bought the first one I saw and it kicked me in the nuts so hard, so often, and so expensively I was almost glad when I wrote it off! Buy the right one first time, and never regret it!

Cool, I just need to find the right one! Any suggestions?

Buy one from someone selling on this site. At least then you can get some history with the car.
