I'm still on the hunt for a daily driver for my dad and figured I might as well buy a rwd because I will be owning the car after he uses it for 2-3 years. I was hoping to buy a 2.5rs, but my budget is only a couple grand so looks like that's not happening.

Been looking around at cheaper rwd cars on craigslist and realized that rx7's are ridiculously cheap. I don't know anything about rotary engines, do they go bad after a certain time? Are they difficult to fix?

Thanks in Advance,

Kevin

 

and any other suggestions for cars would be helpful, thanks. looks dont matter for us, only use. it can have 4 different colors, its fine as long as it is mechanically running.

 

i had an 88 N/A RX7 that I bought with 206k miles on it. I put an extra 10k miles on it before my syncros went out. no engine failures really... just no torque.

 

 

I am guessign you are looking at FCs?

 

define cheap?

definitely looking at fc's....

 

If you're really looking for a daily driver you should be looking at a honda civic or something a little more dependable then an FC?

why an fc?

 

well, hoping to build a drift car after letting my dad use it for a couple years.

any recommendations for other cheap rwd cars?

A guy at work offered me his RX7 FC convertable for free

i said no thanks

 

yes, miatas

 

Haha oh i see..

Yesss, looking at miatas. also have my eyes open for e30's

 

Look for a 240

 

E30's are nice. But for what they are I wouldn't invest in one unless it was going to be a project car.

FC's are really nice. I would take an FC anyday. As long as you know what you're doing and know the proper way to take care of it, those cars will last forever. The miata's aren't bad either but if you were to do a drift setup I'd much rather have an FC than a Miata, That just me tho.
