Would anyone be able to help?

[thetera]

Hi all,
 
I\'ve been trying to decide between an RX-7 and a R32 GTR, I\'m pretty set on the Rx now :Giggle  and was wondering if anyone would be able to help me look over a car?
 
Its the one EDZAIR was selling, apparently he\'s taken it to whifbitz and it checked out fine - I\'d like to be doubly sure though so if anyone in North London or thereabouts would be willing to help there\'d be mucho beer etc in it
  :cheers
 
Cheers

i\'ve messaged him thru his ad on on Pistonheads.
To be honest, I dont think its sorted yet...

LOL well that saves me the trip then :Giggle
 
Just got a mail back from him saying that whifbitz told him that all rx7s smoke on startup - news to me!!
 
Also I\'m told it needs a VIC check and V5 applied for - if its a UK car this wouldnt be neccessary :xconfused

[Alex T]

exactly what I thought about the VIC thing lol.

Hmmm... just spoke to Whifbitz and they said he brought it in and they refused to work on it! Too much needed doing or something!

Did they suggest exactly what work needed doing at all?

roy, whats your criteria for a car? i know someone selling one fairly soon

no worries, my greek instincts are telling me to stay well away from this turk and his rx7
 
joking aside, I think its a total p*sstake that he told me they checked it over and its all fine, engine, turbos and ecu work perfect etc :flamed
 
Oh well, better keep looking I guess :Giggle
 
 
Jit, main criteria is that its a 93 or 92 car as I want to insure it on a classic policy (I\'ll be doing 5-6K miles a year MAX), no rust to body or chassis, and a healthy engine
 
If its got decent suspension (lets face it the original shocks would have had it by now!) a PFC and some tasty 17s on that would be a bonus - whats the spec of the one you know about?

drop me an email Lsun69@aol.com

I think the mod team should delete his ad in view of this. That and the fact that it looks ****ing nasty.

Agree with this mate!
Didn\'t someone get a suspension from here for taking the p*** on his for sale thread?
I don\'t think he should be allowed to sell his car on here as it all seems a bit fishy??
UK car, but needs a V5
VIC check?
Lies about it being checked over by someone?
Last thing we need is someone selling a dodgy nail on here & giving the club a bad name! Not to mention the RX7 in general!

How much you looking at paying and what colour preferance do you have?? I love finding a bargain for someone ;-)
 
Plus what sort of power do you want?

[thetera]

Anywhere from 4-6k really depending on spec, I don\'t have a colour preference (except I\'d rather it wasn\'t red lol)
 
The only firm pre-requisite is that its a 1992 or 1993 car so I can insure it on a classic policy
