So I was the owner of a 97 eagle talon. Friday it threw a rod, and now I need a new vehicle. I have about three grand to spend. I talked to a guy about an ej1 civic, and hes supposed to call me. However, I also have a guy I can sort of call my friend who is selling his 90 rx7 for 2500 it has i think 106000 miles, a new tranny and exhaust. I know he gives it a little bit of shit, but I don't think hes too hard on it. I don't wanna go through tthe same thing with my talon again, and I love RWD. I have decided that the 7 is my primary choice over the civic, but I don't wanna get ripped off. Is that alot of miles for the rotary? and what should i look for as far as famous flaws with the 13b? I will be test driving it soon, and would like to make this an addition to my list of cars, but i want a better opinion. Thank you!
