Agreed, this is an excellent price.   Half of the swaps running around have salvage titles.

Questions, questions. Why does this not sell?

I keep looking at this. I drive a salvage '08 350Z as my warm weather daily. Salvage is fine. I don't do my own wrenching so I'm a little less tuned in to the subtleties of fixing the two leaks mentioned on the first page and I assume a rear main seal's a pull-the-engine fix. I also am unaware of parts availability for a '93. Parts issues scare me but maybe parts are more accessible than I fear.

And I'm 66 and I like my comforts, and I drive way more miles than most folks, so lack of cruise and AC would be show stoppers, but I assume they can be installed.

I'm also concerned about how little the car's been driven. I bought my Z three or four months ago and have put 11,000 +/- miles on it so far. So this RX7, from my perspective, is  unused and that feel's like a warning sign. But there may be good reason for very small usage.

The car is lovely, and the price, obviously, is in the zone.

I have no desire to buy a car and park it. If it cannot daily, I'm uninterested. My question is - is this a daily?

I'm in NH. If it passes muster on the questions I have mentioned above, (and I'd love to hear anyone with answers), and if my own long term trusted shop in Concord NH can look it over and check that body / alignment and general condition are good, then I'm seriously interested.

I should add that I would be getting my garage to do the air and cruise. I was unclear on that. I just want to be sure the car can be fitted out with ac and cruise.

These cars don’t sell for under 20k with a clean swap and ac. Fact is, price is good.

Agreed, or I would not be interested. I figure ac and cruise would be at my cost - not the seller's.

Did I sound unreasonably fussy? I'm not. Cars are sold as is and of course it is for me to take on at my cost - the seals, the AC, the cruise, as long as my mechanics don't say the car has hidden damage.

Perhaps I have violated some unwritten rule in how to express interest in a car, but I see no response in messages, or in email. Maybe the owner has been busy. I just want to be sure I'm not off base somehow.

At this price, it is probably already sold.

As of right now the car is still for sale. I was away for the weekend and apologize for the late responses. All PM's have been replied to. I hope to find her a good home before I'm forced to use CL. Thanks
