They tend to be pricey cars, and if you're getting a free paint job out of it, it sounds sweet. Ask him if he has paperwork to verify the rebuild and see where he' getting it painted at.

Its definately not an 89. Probably somewhere around $3500

$3,500?? that's all? I was hoping to get $5-$6k =\

1 it's not an 89... it's an s4 rx7 with a 13bt. they only made around 184 hp stock and that's not even to the wheels. they have a twin scroll turbo and mechanical fuel pump with lower compression ratio than an s5 t2. they are worth more when in mint condition and stock. i wouldn't pay anymore than 3200 for that car. you don't know how well the port job was done on it. and you have to mod/tune 13b's perfectly or their reliability goes out the window.

Thanks for the help!

np. i used to like rotaries......then i realized they're more finicky than a middle aged woman going through menopause

you mean mechanical oil metering pump, not fuel pump.

On the plus side, S4's are lighter, didnt get the cost-cut interior, had the better rear diffs, heavy-duty suspension, metal sway-bar endlinks, replacable ball-joints, have the mechanical (and not failure-prone electrical) OMP's, and just look more deliciously 80's. I'd still say its a $3500 - $4k car tops though, and thats if the engine was really rebuilt and ported by someone who knows what they're doing. Good rebuild jobs can run you up to $5k, but thats usually a high-performance build with all sorts of extras. Usually street-driven rebuilds are more like $1000 - $3000
