Well what do you want to use both your cars for

Is there enough space to put stuff init when needed
Weekend fun
How cheap and easy parts are
How it handles on a road . (speed bump don't count as you could go the long way)

RX7 with a V8 all day. Would do everything better then a 3door bar fit passengers in the back.

Both very nice cars in there own right , the rx does look very nice but then so is a decent 3 door .


If your 3 door is a nice one id keep that not for value but for the fact you have said you will get another cossie ,and will you find one as good ?

How much is that rx worth ??

3 door is a better investment, but that rx7 will be a better drive by miles.

If I had 12k the decision would have been made for you by now lol. In case it wasn't clear, I like the RX7.

Love RX7s, a V8 one must be amazingly good fun!

Cossie is a Cossie, they are getting rare & expensvie now so if you have a nice one I'd hold onto it.

cossie is up cheap because i want to keep the rx just being realistic nothing is selling at the moment so thought i will let it go for 7500 if not it will just get stored away but i would rather some one have it and use it
the rx is lovely to drive and the sound is addictive
