have to sell my rx after 1 bloody day... :(

[James N]

Hi,
As some of you probably know i only picked up my rx7 yesterday, but after being messed about by timewasters on ebay i thought i\'d sold my Skyline. Well, today the head gasket went, so i cant sell it Now i\'m stuck with 2 cars, both of which need a little work and unfortunately i\'m going to have to just keep the skyline, which means having to sell my rx7.
I was wondering where the best place to advertise it would be? I dont know if what i paid was about right, but i need it gone and if i make a loss its my problem. What do you think this is worth?

Cheers everyone.
 
 
 
Or someone help me think of a way to keep her...

Total bummer, You we\'re really looking forward to this FC from the posts I\'ve read.
It\'ll be worth a lot more with an MOT. Can you afford to get it put through? Has the  Skyline done damage to the block or head? If not it\'s not so bad                                         just bung another head gasket on it.

[TiddlesRX7]

Oh and if you keep the FC the head gasket will never go guaranteed!

[James N]

Yeah, i LOVE that FC. I\'ve driven it about 2 miles, and already i love it! Its so smooth and effortless. If i mot it, theres no way i\'ll bring myself to sell it....
No idea what has happened to skyline, but i wasnt having any luck selling it despite not asking much! OK, it an NA and a auto, but a t&t\'d R32 for less than a grand seemed a bargain to me!!

[TiddlesRX7]

Do you have the facilities to fix the Skyline yourself? Other wise your gonna be putting money into a car that you don\'t really want. Plus if its not worth a lot then your never gonna see any of that money back.
The other option is to advertise it as a project car  or a fixer uper

[James N]

Yeah, fixing it myself is no problem at all. But after doing that work do i keep it or keep the rx? I need to decide and sell one quick as after purchasing the rx i kind of needed the sale of the skyline to manage this month!!!! Which do i keep??!!

[BenLewisMav]

What skyline is it? And what will you use it for?
edit. sorry just read above.. Keep the RX Welcome to the club

[James N]

lol, yup, R32 gts NA jobbie. I do like the fc. needs a sill but otherwise well looked after. Its on 80k and has full mazda hstory up to 60k!

[James N]

Cheers boys, you inspired me into remembering my mate told me to tell him when i sold it... If its just a head gasket, i may well have sold the liner. Ooh yeah, rotary time. Time to take the pi$$ out of my piston engine driving mates!!

[BenLewisMav]

Just remember to frequently check the oil and coolant, and for piece of mind get it compression tested and checked over by a rotary specialist before you start hammering it everywhere. Enjoy

[James N]

i was planning on giving it a compression test tomorrow actually, i\'ll have a bit of time to do some work on it tomorrow

[TiddlesRX7]

Good man James. You might be skint for a couple of months. Most of us are when we first buy the rex, but you\'ll soon forget about that when you get on the road and blow all those cobwebs away (and your mates!). Just look after it and it\'ll be ok.

With your Skyline put some additive in the water and flog it....quick.  I have used k seal to excellent results bfore and although might fix cracks, leaks etc depending on severity of the head gaskets problems it might be a quick fix. Its not very expensive and Clive sells it. get the one where you dont have to empty the antifreeze.

[kev-yorks]

As above K seal.
