Somebody please take this car off my hands. I'm moving cross country later this week to a small temporary apartment -- no room for this car.

It's a '94 Montego Blue Mica RX-7 (3rd gen) with the Touring Package, and nearly everything on the car is original or OEM parts -- nearly always serviced by Mazda dealers.

The car has about 78000 miles. I'm the original owner, having bought the car new in August 1994. The engine and turbos are original. The car runs fine, but idles a little high. It needs a little bit of work to be restored to a reliable daily driver, or it could be the start of a project race/autocross car.

Email me if you're interested. I'm offering this at a sacrifice price of $6000. 3rd gen RX7s this cheap usually have collision damage or a salvage title, etc.
This car is straight, never wrecked, normal VA title, and the engine starts right up.

Car is located in Fairfax Station VA. Come look at it, and if you'll help me bleed the brakes, you can even take a short test drive (short because it is not currently registered).

This is a very limited time offer. If the car doesn't sell by July 13th, I'll likely ship it cross country and rent a storage unit for it.


Email me if interested.

I need a loan. Right now.
When it comes to Ryan Jenkins, the story ends with me putting him in the wall.

About $5k.

Dammit.

The original turbos and tranny (5th gear synchro) are likely suspect at that mileage too.....

$5k for a new set of apex seals and a little machine work? Seems like a steep estimate to me.

Those piles just fall apart at 80k then. And I was about to email the guy.

oh yeah, 80k is "rebuild the car" time.

eh, sounds like internet rumor-exaggeration to me. Like those falkens that spontaneously combust in standing water, E46 M3 engines that blow up before driving off the dealer lot, and wrx transmissions that shatter with grandma driving.

its kind of hard to believe that a car made within the last 15 years completely falls apart in 80k

They're not horrible, unreliable, tempermental british cars.... but I wouldnt have one as a daily driver either. If i were in the market, I'd find a car with a fresh engine/turbos, add some reliabilty mods, and then enjoy it with the right precautions.
