Well I have spent much time think about how I love my rx7 and how it seems to have a lot of problems. So I want something cheap, reliable. I'm not looking to buy right now but I want some ideas to look at. I don’t want to have to put any money into it because I’m going to be slowly rebuilding my rx7 while going to school.

Honda. My parents 93 hatch (you've seen it quite a bit Rob). Has been a very good car. Never gave me or them any trouble. Parts aren't too bad. The gas milage is great.

buy another 1987 RX7.. an old beater one. My blue mx6 is my summer car.. then I bought a $600 one IDENTICAL to my blue one.. and I use that as my winter car.. in the spring it will double as my parts car.. Check out the local classifieds.. you should be able to find an old clunker RX7 for $1000 or so.

When it comes to an rx 7 if you get a $1000 one it will have a very weak or not working engine. Oh and where I live, I have from what I hear 1 of 5 rx 7's in peterborough and I had to import mine from rockwood.

Plus I'm looking for a car I can drive for the next few years and spend very little on because I'm going to school and going to be completly rebuild my rx 7 (very slowly [parts are not cheap]).
