winter is not a good time to invest in a rx7. you'll think its some sort of death trap.
but as far as working on it and such, its a great investment, given that you have a rotary shop nearby. rx7's being so far and few between, brews a certain kinship between owners. i always smile when i see a seven, and would gladly pull over and help with a flat tire, busted radiator, etc. what im trying to say is the rx7 community is very friendly and always looking to help out.
just cruise thru this website, and you'll find tons of information, that can help you with your decision.

Ya don't use a RX7 as a winter beater.I just got my TII a month ago.It gets dangerous in the rain let alone snow.Even though I haven't drove this car in the winter yet im still gonna put the car up for the winter and just work on it everday.This is my only car and I won't take the risks of winter driving it especially if it needs work done like the car you were looking at does.RX7s are special!Welcome to the forum it is very helpful.

as everyone else said, rx7s r not good in the winter. another thing to be careful of. make sure u drive the car first, or since ur young, have a friend or a parent drive it first. exhaust systems can cause serious engine problems on a t2. best of luck.
i bought my car online too...
make sure to get pictures from everypossible angle. this way you won't be dissapointed when you go to see it. there is nothing worse. 1200 is a good price though, so check it out. pretty soon u'll look like this.
