SCAMMED IN JAPAN! - RX7 FD3S Purchase Turned into Nightmare!

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Purchasing an RX7 FD3S in Japan sounds like a good idea until when it arrives it's nothing like how it was described in the sale description.

Had some electrical issues i solved, and missing some switches on center console. Came with a spare stock 40k mile block and spare popups, box of spare parts, 9 mazda oil filters, ect. its clean, not perfect, but best i could do while being comfortable spending that amount of cash without inspecting, i knew if i didnt get it i would have to spend 2x more. If i was enzo and this was my dream car, i would just try to fix it, it doesnt seem like too much damage to me. If hes not completely in love with the car, not worth the headache and time to swap it all on top of fixing. Its definitely has potential, and is definitely worth the work.

    I would not be revving that engine without knowing the condition of the oil or fuel, but that's just me. Don't put synthetic in that thing please, rotaries were designed to burn a little bit of oil as it's used to lubricate the apex seals. Apparently synthetic oil doesn't behave the same as conventional oil in a rotary engine, that's just what I've heard though.

    FD always been my dream car. But for a good one in the Netherlands the prices are insane. I really want to buy this car as a project car but doesn't have the money for it at the moment. So that is kinda sad. This opportunity will be in my head for a really long time....
