View Full Version : Parked FB

Ever since I moved into my new apartment in august, I've noticed an FB that's been parked in the lot. As far as I can tell, it has not moved once since I've been here. It appears to be in alright condition judging from the outside and what I can see of the interior, though it is automatic. Obviously I can't tell what condition the motor/engine bay is in or the condition of any of the electronics.

I've been slightly interested but I'm still unsure if I should even bother with trying to get more info on the car or not. There's no indication that it's for sale, but considering the thing never seems to move, the owner might be fine with getting rid of it. I'd definitely prefer a manual, but if it's for a good price then I'd be fine with that. I've looked at 7's in the past, but I haven't really considered them for a while now. I dont currently have the money but I could potentially afford it in a couple months. I like the FC and FD a tad more so I don't know quite as much about the FB. I'm looking up some of the basic information just to see if I can at least determine what series it's from and what trim it is.

So I guess my basic question right now is, should I consider the idea of trying buying it? Or should I move on and wait till I'm actively looking for a car and find something that's exactly what I'd want. Most of my interest in it comes from the fact that it's conveniently right there all the time and happens to be an RX-7.

FD FTW...

Anyway, I would wait a little longer and save up a bit. I don't know much about the FB so sorry I can't be at no further assistance. Try to find out who the owner is and ask some questions about it and maybe post some picks if it is ok.

If you don't really want it, you're going to treat exactly like the way the current owner is.

I'd love to have it. I just prefer FC's and FD's a little more. It would still be a fun project car, especially since it only needs a few things to make it looks pretty clean. I think the motor is probably blown which is why the owner never moves it. I doubt it has a working motor and has been left untouched for that long.

As for the ugly comments... I still prefer the looks of FC's and FD's more, but I still like the FB as well.
