Toyia -> Best approach to sell a RX7..need advice (4/14/2005 9:49:34 PM)

I need a recommendation.

What is the best way to sell my current RX7?

Do the online (.coms) work, or is a local ad better?

15 years ago, we had a local car magazine...my car sold the same day the magazine came out.
But it is no longer published & I don't know whether to bother with the on-line sites.

Please advise

Well when i was selling my truck i did autotrader.com and they have a deal where they post it on the site plus in there news ads. I got a couple calls on the truck, but got impatient and just traded it in.

...so you can drive 120mph+ on public roads = not a very good idea

I too would suggest AutoTrader.com. I sold my old Honda there within a week.

I called Motec Technical Support. They indeed confirmed that their ECU would work with Mazda 3 and would by default remove the speed governor. There is one essential problem, though. The rep. said that the most cost efficient option to put in the ECU (including rewiring the car) would run at about $8,000. I guess the only option for me is to wait until some other tuning company comes up with a more affordable ECU, perhaps tailored for Mazda 3.

not worth it..  118 is fast enough for this car.  i got pulled of by state police doing 108 on my way to work and that was not fun.  these cars are fun to drive but there is no need to go above 118mph.  I''ll feel better going faster in a Vette or some other car that was made for those kinds of speeds.

I absolutely agree.  There is a limit to everything and unless you have to good fortune to take your car to the Autobahn, or Auto-Strata where the limit is limitless, you have no business driving even that fast on the streets.
