a bit more actually. i don't remember the last time i saw a TII for less than $3k that was still running. $5k for a decent condition TII seems to be average these days.

yay for the drift kids totalling their FCs driving the value up to more than $1,5k!

well after varies consideration (money, time, advise from friend etc)

I think is time to move on, I get a pretty good deal on a cheap honda (lol)
is 3rd gen prelude I know RX7 is the time of car I want, but sry since Apex seal, and so much other BS I have been told here and there, You basically can't fix an RX7 if you don't know how to take the engine out, most stuff related to it is just too complicated and time consuming. Honda, in other hand, cheap and you can just walk into junk yard and pull out TONs of used parts. (can't do that with RX7....sexy pays the price) that is why move me so much since my pocket is shallow.

I know I will back into RX7 one day, thanks all.

I bought my running TII for $1300 a few years ago. Had low enough compression that the motor went a year later though and it had body damage. They had done some nice things to it before I bought it though, such as new injectors and cleaned/treated the gas tank.

Keep looking man, I looked for over a year. Finally drove from OH to FL to get mine! It payed off, got a nice 86' and have been able to improve it in fun ways, not just replacing boring old stuff. Be patient.
