Ok I’ve been trying to find a beater while I fix my 94 but I need a weekend car. My question is what should I look out for, or know about these cars before I make a crazy decision. Right now I’ve been talking to a guy selling a 95 VR4 with a little over 50k. Its black 6 speed, leather, nice interior and exterior. Is 16.5k a fair price? Spy, I know you’ve got some experience with these cars what’s your insight?

I'm almost posative that no 3rd gen us rx7 had rear seats, very few 2nd gens so you would have to plan on converting them, but why bother, they're useless anyway and since it wouldn't be stock you don't get an insurance break.
VR-4s have too much of a maitenence cost imho to be used as a dd. Same with an rx7. 97-99 gsx/gst are too pricey for being overweight and finicky, do love the way they look though. Insurance will be high on any of those. I think any of those if driven will loose a lot of their value. The SS will be probably the best bang for your buck. I'm not fond of the last gen camaros, fire chickens look good though. Whatever you're interested in, might want to register on a brand/model specific board and look around at common threads/problems/issues/mods/etc. Might give you a better idea on what you'd be dealing with. |
