1st gen RX7 naturally aspirated rotary 1980-85, or try the 2nd gens. Fun to drive, cheap to mod and a redline of 7200!

20 year old apex seals much less the rest of the car does not sound like a good option.

Dean, you are smoking crack if you think any RX-7 has its original apex seals.

There are a couple of people round my place selling cars....a 93 Ford F150 for about 4k, a 95 Impreza L for about 2k and some other ones that i havent checked the price on.

For everyone posting listings & "my friend's cousin's brother Vinnie's half-nephew is selling X", let's revisit:

Again, I am not looking for someone to find me a car, just suggestions on a make and model.

They aren't to bad in the snow either, with the weight of the engine on the drive wheels. Where's the love for the flat 4s?

As much as I love your enthusiasm for the best car Volkswagen has ever and will ever make, I must digress.

Yes, they're easy to work on. The point of "reliable" is to not have to work on them.

Also, they're horrible in the snow. You would think with the weight of the engine over the drive wheels the grip would be great, but it's still hanging out back and like every person that's seen a Porsche on a track knows, they're spin happy. Bobby, you remember what happened to me Mt. Rose Highway that snowy day in my '71...

Lastly, Bugs are getting to that age that all years are becoming desirable, not just the 50s and 60s. They're getting tough to come by at a price that directly reflects what they're actually worth.

my listings are suggestions. just seems to work that way.

I heard someplace that the 2009 Nissan GT-R is a really good value compared to some others... :rolleyes:

I would buy one but I don't want to scrape coming out of walmart.

If you're shopping for a halo sports car, I'd agree.

...like a warthog?

I heard someplace a piece of metal that plugs your hood scoop hole for $200 is a good value. ;)
