Firstly, I'm not interested in trades.

~250k km on the body. I was told the engine was rebuilt approx 70k ago when I bought it (about 85k ago now)

5 speed transmission, with dual aftermarket exhausts, APC seats, new rear 6.5" tower speakers and a Sony Xplod deck.

No power options, but does have a manual (aftermarket?) sunroof. Interior is navy and in good condition, minus a bit of pieces missing from the vinyl on the passenger side door. Left side seat can get stuck and be difficult to position, too.

Exterior is in 'good' condition. Small patch of rust on the passenger side, and around the right-rear wheel the paint isn't very good. I'm not aware of the car's accident history. Slight dent on the front left fender that shouldn't be difficult to fix. One exhaust hangs a bit, that's a minor annoyance. Drivers side mirror housing has a small hole in it. Rims are 4-bolt Enkei's, about 15". Older and rare, but they look good on the car, and they're certainly unique.

Mechanically, she's very good. No 3800 RPM hesitation (common RX7 problem), brakes are probably about 50%-60%, winter tires, new radiator about 4 months ago (by A-1 Radiator). Also has a home made grounding kit. 5/6 ports work great. I've made sure to redline once the engine was warm often to ensure good rotary health :)

The car pulls slightly to the right. Might be alignment, might be frame damage, haven't looked into it (yet). The exhausts look "ricey", but have a deep sound that most people like. Car would be great as a summer car, perfect candidate for a lightweight Turbo project, or a purpose built racer/autocrosser.

Price is 3500 obo. Please contact me by PM or post if you're interested.

I'm open to offers, but would prefer to stay over 3. You and your buddy are welcome to ask me anything you like, or if you're interested in checking it out in person PM me and we can arrange a meeting once the weather clears up.

And yeah, it would make a pretty fun RWD sports car :D

Came up over the curb once, something got bent, ended up replacing the part and repairing it ourselves. Wasn't anything too serious, no body damage, etc. The pull certain doesn't hinder it's driveability or anything, it's just annoying. Probably will end up getting it straightened out before anybody comes to test drive it.
