part of the charm with these rotary cars is that they are not expensive to maintain... i could get the rotary motor rebuilt for the cost of a brake/rotor job on an AMG. seriously, the rotary motor was selected to keep weight down. every pound counts. they are inexpensive to rebuild - very few parts - and many reputable builders can rebuild them for around $4,000 with a 5 year warranty:

Custom Rebuilding Svcs

$20,000? that would be nuts. [...and my factory A/C will freeze you out of the car, guaranteed.]

Dead thread but based on my affiliation with subject i couldnt resist...(own a 93 rew and a 09 touring..) i was on a long search for a newer sports car that could "fill" the rx7's shoes. I owned a 2010 2ss rs , hated it cause of lol american no turn. So after that.. i headed down ot the nissan dealer to check out the z they had. Test drove it. And loved it, it had the spirit of a sports car. Like an rx7. I love my rx7 and she isabout to be sold but, im glad i found the best replacement i could ask for. They are so similar in many ways
