So my buddy has the option to buy either a modded us model rx7 or an imported rhd rx7 that is stock… now he doesn't plan on keeping it for very long and intends to resell at some point in the future. As a buyer… which would you find more appealing? any and all feedback welcomed..

Thanks,

Pancho
 
@FAL or @fc3sbmx would be the best people to ask but what are the model years of the two? I ask because I think I recall reading that it's best to get a later year FD as Mazda sorted out some of the reliability issues it had at the beginning. Either way we would need more details regarding both cars to make a decision. For now I'd go with the stock FD since the modded one may not suit my tastes in setup.

Good point! As for the details, the RHD is a 95 with an AC leak, altezza tail lights, ugly ass wheels and recently painted pearl white.. hes getting it for about 15k,


now the modded us one is a 93 with that needs a motor rebuild due to low compression. Hes getting it for about 8k, this one also needs paint and a new front bumper and fender.
