The RX7 is a serious machine, If I were you I would sell it and shop around for an FTO. What spec are you after?

That FTO looks like a great example, some people buy on a whim and then realise how hard it is to get insurance so sell as fast as they can, bit pricey.

Yes but some people also buy, not realising they've bought junk. I have viewed 17 ftos since accidentally becoming an owner and I have only 1 of them was close to as expected. That's my own gpx (with sunroof :) ) My first one was a swap for a van job and had a few issues needing done, but was in reasonable nick. The second one I bought was from Gerry and it wasn't even the one I went to view! The one I went to view for breaking wasn't in great nick, but the one I bought from him was in good condition, save a couple of minor things. That's the one my brother is selling now. The red gx he bought is not in the condition you would expect either, but he is happy to put the work into it, because it's a newer car and has the quad exhaust as a bonus. The gpx atto bought recently: i viewed that too, but it was pretty shabby in a lot of areas. A gx i viewed in Rush was also in need of some serious work. They always look so much better in the photos and really need to be seen in the flesh to appreciate them.

@DanD : You will find it hard getting a manual gpx with the spec you are looking for, but if you're patient, something will come up. Do consider a gr, or gx though, because they are great machines too. The mivec still has a hold over me, but it fades with time and I wouldn't mind having a gr now if i'm completely honest. I have spent so much on the gpx that i have to keep it though. If you want to view the gr my bro has, just give me a shout.

Its cash he needs, which is why the car is selling for so cheap. Its worth much more than the asking price (even in fto terms), but he owes me a few quid, so just wants it gone. Only in the last hour, he said he will let it go for 800. Viewing the car you will see its worth at least twice that, no exaggeration. He doesn't have the luxury of waiting, because its owed money, but 800 is the bottom line. He will borrow to pay me back otherwise, rather than selling for less. Its in Dublin 13. You're better off selling the rx7 for the extra money and putting that to the fto with plenty left over. Its had a service in the last fortnight because it was laying up for a few months. It runs really sweet now.

Maybe that's what you should put in the 2k car budget thread :) But we all know the fto is the car of choice. Anyone else here agree? :lol:

@ Dan: That's good news. Make sure you take plenty of photos of that rx-7 for those fond memories. 8) Its a nice machine.

You should look at the rest, before buying the best. That way, you will sleep soundly at night. If tax/insurance wasn't so high, I would be the owner of that gr. I love my gpx, but i'm a sucker for the silver ones for some reason. Text me when you want to drop down. My brother is there most of the time anyway. I am free mornings before 11 and after 8pm, so there will be someone to show the car to you.

That white GX was a minter (as many on this site can testify to) up until it was sold by myself. God only knows what way the current owner looked after it, but I would recommend viewing it.

Or Gox's GR, that looks pretty sweet too and is cheaper!
