www.rx7club.com

there's a for sale section for each generation, plus those guys usually will flag a bullshit sale or the opposite and will praise a great sale.

^ those two have about 40k miles on them, but the owners are meticulous about changing the oil, and all the other maintenance.

it would be easier to go to rx7club or just go on craigslist constantly. it also depends on the area, there are a lot of rx7's in CA, TX, FL and i think even NY. Just constantly check craigslist

me too! but it's so hard to justify spending 20K for a 10 year old car with very well documented reliability issues.

a friend of mine has an FD and he says it's a great car BUT he wouldn't want it as his only car due to the issues. But yeah an FD would be super nice to have. Of course it's only a 2 seater tho. that friend offered to let me drive his so i'll see.

Also dont plan on spending the money to just buy the car, you gotta know the car, work on it yourself, and plan to spend more than average $ to keep it running. If you cant do an oil change on the FD, forget about buying it.

Good luck on your search tho~ I think stock looks best! with 99+ front.
