ya tires look really good =)...its lookin more and more thoug that i cant get it. stupid flakes probably wont buy my car:cry:

i did test drive it. the clutch is really good. the steering is hard...just not used to ps:D ...the brakes are mushy...everything else seems fine, just stuff here and there ya know? i didnt notice any electrical problems. as soon as i put the key in, and turned boom it started up. idle perfect. besides all the stuff ive mentioned above.

ok, i couldnt really get access to looking under the car, but from what i could tell, no holes or stuff that looked out of order. i looked around the hatch area, and only found a few tiny spots of rust. looked underneath the carpet of the spare tire and paint was still there, looked great. looked as much as under the fenders as i could, and didnt see any holes or major rust....if any. looked at the driver side frame rail, and none that i could see. just some surface rust nothing major. then i got to the pass side. the firewall was fine, the battery tray was surface rust, and below on the rail had some surface rust, no holes anywhere. i hit them really hard and it seemed rock solid...no soft spots, or no damage of the body. the only other body thing i noticed is the pass side door, where the gap is on where it opens. the door isnt really flush to the rear quarter panel....probably an easy fix. again the original paint was orange, their is fricken house carpet of somewhat in the rear hatch area, and there is crappy seat covers on it. so is this worth 2500? along with what you read above? thanks guys brandon

cool, what does it look like? maybe ive seen ya around:bunny:

ok i added you to my contact list, im brandon@hyperrev.com

i own a series 4 rx7 turbo.

anyone in oregon? im in clackamas,oregon....basically portland. if you look at my other thread, i was wondering if anyone would like to meet up and help me look at this car? thanks, brandon

im in clackamas, oregon...basically portland.

thanks guys....yea then again i dont know if sluggish was because im used to faster cars...hehe. anyways thats not the reason im buying it. i would like it alot if someone was close by, just need to search around for members i guess. ya obviously its 115k, it also had an aftermarket steering wheel on it. and when i turned sometimes it would click?...i thought it was coming from the aftermarket steering wheel though. the good thing is he said i could pay 1k now, and 1500 over the next 6 months interest free. he was honest a good guy, meaning he knew the car wasnt perfect and didnt lie about anything. so i will go by there again tomorrow and look at it again and report back to you guys. i dont know what all to look for, because i havent researched as much as i liked too. not many z's are here for sale in oregon, so its a great opporutunity. thanks again brandon

hey im new here...wanted to introduce myself. been into mostly rx-7's and such, but right now im kinda hurting financially. i always wanted a z, and have been searching for them on and off now and then. i recently passed a lot i drive by everyday and noticed a 72' z there the other day. i went by today and this place is kinda...ya know the typical shaddy lots. but the guy was really nice, and honest about his work etc. he gave me the keys and we started it up. its been repainted red, but it used to be orange as noted in the engine bay. it started up immediatlely and idle perfect. the only thing is there seems to be a constant tapping coming from under the valve cover...which increased in speed when revved up. other than that, the car was sound. of course minor defects here and there. no overall body damage. i drove it and not sure how the cars are supposed to drive to be honest, it felt kinda sluggish up the rpm band. and the brakes were really mushy as well. the dash was really good condition, and of course minor cosmetics here and there, but overall it was nice. also had the aftermarket headlight covers. anyways, the odometer says 15k...its obviously rolled over, and the seller at the lot says hes not sure and will have to look. he wanted 2500 for it. and i really need a car bad. do you think this is a good buy? he told me i could pay 1k now, and 1500 in the next 6 months due to the fact i dont have all the money now. what do you guys think? thanks, brandon
