Is this a decent find

I have been looking for a 7 for awhile and reading your forums as well as others for some time. I found for sale near me a 1987 RX-7 GXL a little beat up looking for $2700. He has put a cold air intake and a few other small modifications too it. I am more than likely going to do a N/A to TII engine swap after saving enough and learning a whole lot more, the suspension is "broken" as in its stuck in "sport" mode which i didnt consider to be that big of a deal. he said he has replaced the belts several times and put a perfomance clutch in becuase he burnt out the other. It drove nice when i took it around and everything appeared to be in place and fairly taken care engine wise. Should he come down on price because the outside it dinged to hell and the interior is ripped apart ? I personally dont care just wondering if i should ask him to come down a little. He also said there is some transmission work done on it and i am going to inquire a little more on that. It has been for sale on a busy street for about 2 months. Any ideas? thank you in advance.

well can picture the car by the way you discribed, and I think the price is too hi . it look more bad stuff the good. but if you can do a compresion check or have a mechanic do it for you . make sure 5th and 6th ports are opening, no leaks on oil colant all that stuff . not smoking etc etc.

price is too high, i wouldnt pay that much for a beaten up s4.
hows the milleage ?

I could sell you a better car for half the price.

thats almost as much as I'm gonna sell my S5 for once I get it fixed, and it has like 2 small dings, 110k miles, and a stage 1 clutch that i just put in 8k miles ago.

maybe you should just buy mine :)

Definately check it out a little more. You might want to keep looking.

thank you for all the replies, it is on its second engine, so the mileage seemed a little trivial, he got a new transmission because he apparently thought shifting without using the clutch was a good habit. He is not sure the mileage on the new engine nor the year. But too his credit it ran very well when i drove it.
