Anyone know this car?

Hi everyone, I\'m in talks with a chap at the moment about buying this car:

I\'m interested in buying, even to the degree that I\'ve sold my beloved Bride seat! But was just wondering if anyone knew the car, as it was on Driftworks for some time (owned by \'\'marzman\'\', it was blue before). Anything I should know about before I throw some money at him?
 
Cheers :WaveBye

Hi , I have actually just swapped my civic ek for the above rx7 . Its brilliant car . Why didnt you get it in the end ?

Hi mate, glad you\'re enjoying it! To be honest, there were a few things putting me off, the price had gone up by £200 since swapping hands, and I got in touch with a couple of the previous owners who said that the car had some kind of starting fault? In the end I decided it probably wasn\'t worth catching a flight to go look at, so looked elsewhere for a cheap car. Hope it serves you well!

I dont no about pricing of it tbh i saw it for £700 but i just wanted rid of my civic as insurance was so expensive for something that wasnt very quick really 1.5vtec and couldnt have fun with

I have took the rx7 for a few sneaky little drives just up the road n back and had great fun in it.

Only problem with it i can gather so far is that it needs a new battery . But hey turning 20 and owning a FC , matt black , stripped and welded diff i think is pretty good . Im currently in process of doing wheels Flourescent PINK to make it look even more like a driftcar .
