Should I touch this with a 10ft barge pole?

[Redsuns]

Seen the following car in autotrader... scraping my budget a bit but thats not the worry...

"very light nsf damage" http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/WWW/CARS_popup.asp?modelexact=1&make=MAZDA&min_pr=&postcode=ha3+6hy&source=0&model=RX7&max_pr=0&variant=&mileage=&miles=1500&photo=1&sort=5&keywords=&agerange=&max_records=200&search.x=61&search.y=0&start=8&distance=148&adcategory=CARS&channel=CARS&id=200323093036192

Any ideas what it might take to repair, and what else I should think about?

Pic *should* follow...

Thanks for any help!

Hi Sam / Redsuns ,

l believe the car is to dear , it looks like a money pit, Brian will tell us better but l would suggest this car may have been picked up in auction for maybe a grand in Japan.

l had a potential new member on the phone the other night , with what did l think about a stolen recovered just needs door and ignition barrels one small dent in rear wing , and  drives O/K for £3000 !.

These cars are now around for that money on the road they may not be pristine, but they offer a lot less potential agro than this car .  

All the best Clive

Redsuns don\'t do a Zammo just say no!!!. To much like hard work and like Clive said I bet they paid peanut\'s for it there are better one\'s out there. Cheers Leigh.

I wouldnt, it\'s way to much money for an accident repair!
That car also has 60K on it so how is the engine?

Worth buying if you are a garage - for about £4000 maybe!

FAR too expensive!

If you want a cheap one, then Ross Juniper has one which is fine except for faded paint and an engine needing a rebuild for about £3200.  That is a much better price as you can get the engine rebuilt for under 2000 quid and then have 50,000 miles on it to play with!
