I still fondly remember riding in my Dad's 91 RX7 Vert - wish he still had it.

Good luck finding one, and I'm happy to see one go into the hands of a rotary lover.

This is a SCAM! Already found another scam on Craigslist. It was for a 2004 RX8 for $4700. Car turned out to belong to a girl in Canada. She wasn't selling it. Turned that one over to the FBI. Had cell numbers, local numbers and IP address's and copies of emails. Be careful. Read the EBAY and Craigslist warnings.

Yeah man!
I caught her *** red handed.
Me and my brother were messing around with her too.
She had a VR Rx8 and for some reason it had a tanned interior. In the pictures the car had GPS. But she said it didn't.
Also she wanted us to do a wire transfer to Las Vegas. WTF? Bitch plz I aint giving you 3k and running off. I had an email were I pointed exactly where she was wrong and I reported it on craigslist.
It was some funny **** I tell you and she didn't reply to me after

OK so I've narrowed it down to a few more available selections.

First is a Black '87 Turbo II LINK

Next is a Black 88 RX7 Convertible NA LINK

Next is a Black '91 Turbo II Convertible LINK

And a White '91 RX7 Convertible LINK

Opinions, insight, suggestions?

No other turbo II available?

120k miles is a good distance for a chassis and many other mechanical parts so maintenance would be a concern.
for 2500$ maybe, for 3750$.. not!

Those are all OBO. So this is where my mad price negotiation skills will come into play.

you're really deadset on a vert huh?

i guess out in AZ its not a problem. but my first car was a convertible, it was nice. but as a DD, verts really suck. especially in the winter. and especially old verts.

Hey Easy

Have not read the entire thread so not sure if you have mentioned this one or not, but have you seen the FC StylEmon is selling locally. That thing is a beast and he has put a lot of time and money into the car.

Here is the thread for the sale on 7Club
http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=828141

Sorry to hear about the 8.

Lynn

easy, how realistic are you with this? I've just finished re-registering my vert w/72k original miles. I debated selling or keeping to DD but if it's to a forum member, I may let it go. PM me if you want some more info...
