I'm sure someone on this board has an opinion on this. I have been offered an 'opportunity' to buy a 3rd gen. As much as I like them I have never seriously considered owning one. I've admired them from afar kind of like a Playboy centerfold chick, looks good but not for normal dudes. I've always had 1st and 2nds, that's a comfort zone for me since I am familiar with them. I've heard a lot of bad things about 3rd gens, and just going on hearsay I can think of about 7 or 8 reasons NOT to buy one over a reason to buy one. So, if I look at this car, what should I look for that would tell me to pass on it? Thanks.

Look at the owner. What impression do you get from them? Are they trying to get rid of it because its plagued with problems? is it a 1,2,3 person owned vehicle? how many miles? what kind of condition? What kind of deal?
I figure its useless to post why to get one. If I could score a good enough deal on any generation i'd pick it up probably if the circumstances permitted (time,money, space for it).

Thanks, those are all good questions and apart from the 'normal' used car concerns exactly what I was looking for in a sense. These cars (3rd gens) are not 'normal' everyday disposables, they tend to bring out the best, or worst in a owner simply because of what they were capable of right from the box. I'll keep everyone posted if I do purchase this 7. Later.

Well I bought it, a brilliant black 93 RX-7 with the touring package, 68k on the clock. So I'm back to a 2 RX-7 family. Should pick her up tomorrow. Let the fun begin...

Yeah I hope other rotary folks will pick them up on this board. As soon as I can I'll get some pics up... it is an interesting change from the SE. But I'll keep the old girl for a while yet I think. Maybe start an Rx-7 museum???
