Default Good Buy?

Hey guys, I just found this and I was just wondering if this is a good buy or not? I need some people that won't go there and throw down some money right away for it. Just tell me if you think so. I need this info soon. I beg everyone that reads this not to go buy this. I want to be the one to own it. It's exactly what I want.

No. NAs are usually in the $1000-2000 range, depending on how clean they are.

Yeah, I kinda thought that. So, I was going to offer the guy 2000 or 2300. Which do you guys think he would take. LMK, thanks for the info.

Personally, I have done all of my FD stuff at http://www.mazsport.net/
(ask for Scott)

If you are considering any rx7 (ive noted you are looking at fc's from the drift forum), get the owner of the fc, the fc you are considering, and goto mazsport and get it tested. Last time I had a thorough inspection (~3yrs ago) it was $75, but worth every dollar. I could never give enough praise for the great work all the guys there do, true professionals.

The thing is that its a series 4 NA with 170k on the engine and no rebuild yet thats been noted. I'd would never pay more than a $1000, even though the car looks clean from what we can see.

Hey, I just saw that the guy changed it from 52,000 miles with rebuild, to 170,xxx. I'm not getting that piece of shit for like 2,000. The guy said the previous owner did a rebuild on it, but didn't have the paperwork for it. I got like $2200 to spend on anything I want. I really just wanna drift in these things. ~Squints338

Ok, cool. I can't afford the J-spec swapped one, but I need more information on the other 2 by your house. LMK, thanks for your help.
