Wasteland Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 My dad is lookin at an RX with 150k on it, 5spd,new Turbo and Rad, straight body and ground FX in perfect condition. The girl that owns it is the second owner and has had it since she got out of high school, which is 4 years. He said everything looks tight, and he crawled all over it checking for rust/bond/leaks/ect. So what would be a good price? shes down to "best offer" as it's sat for a few months. Also he wants to do 14 inch pugs and an AA lift and turn it into a Baja/Rally car. He's crazy like that! So what are the thoughts pro/con for lifting an RX? (I thought it would be Rad!)

Wasteland Posted November 5, 2005 Author Share Posted November 5, 2005 From what I gather it's a fwd and she needs it got sooner then later. I told him to start at $500 and stop at $800, but I always lowball everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
northguy Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 If it's only fwd (front wheel drive) not 4wd, I wouldn't buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suberdave Posted November 5, 2005 Share Posted November 5, 2005 i say even if its 2wd, if you can get a good deal on it, buy it. i dont think $800 is to much, i have payed $500 for cars that didnt run and needed towed home. then just convert it to AWD, parts can be found easy enough. but i would "NEVER" lift an RX. if you want a lifted rig. buy a wagon or sadan. RX's are hard to find and awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WoodsWagon Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 2wd RX? Then it isn't an RX and is merely a turbo. So its probably AWD w/ center lock. good rally car, doesn't really need a lift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singletrack Posted November 6, 2005 Share Posted November 6, 2005 From what I gather it's a fwdI still have a D/R tranny and a 4wd rear end. It'd be cool to do just a mild lift, just an inch or so, to squeeze a little bigger tire on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasteland Posted November 7, 2005 Author Share Posted November 7, 2005 Update it is AWD and he's got a lowball bit in that shes thinking over. the big prob is that Dad's not all that Subi savy and he's in the PNW while I'm in Co so each time I talk to him he's got new and different info. At first he thought it was a 3 door EA82T but anywho it's an AWD RXT and hopfully he'll score it for $750. And ya, a 1inch lift with a14 stuffed under it would be the shizel!
