My friend wants to get a 1987 Mazda RX-7 (twin turbo). Right now he drives a Ford Tempo (84) or Suzuki Swift (95). The RX-7 he's looking at is $3.5k Canadian.. so that's probably around $2000-2200 USD, guessing. The car *looks* to be in good condition, has a nice hood scoop, but otherwise is nice, plain and clean (silver). I know about Mazda and their rotary engines. That's why my concern is that the car is over 15 years old... it says the engine was rebuilt though, so maybe it's still in good running condition? In any case, if he gets that, it should be a fun car to have if it works well. Somewhere in the vicinity of 180-190hp and torque, yielding approx. 6 sec 0-60 (only the twin turbos of that era.. the regulars weren't so fast).
I think the car has about 180,000km on it. So for the price, would you go for it?
