Non-Porsche question about an RX-7-Would you?

[Soetekouw]

I think you have already convinced yourself to buy the RX-7. Are you planning on keeping your Boxster, also? Are you sure that your finances can handle two exotic, but old cars?

You stated that you want to save for a wedding and grad school (without taking loans). My advice, stay on that course and be happy with what you already have. Keep your Boxster and forego the RX-7. There will always be other cars over your lifetime that you will crave for. This RX-7 is not an investment. DO NOT take a loan out for something that you don't need.

I always think of the analogy of the rx-7 as a marathon runner's heart. Fast, powerful, and strong during it's rime, but atrophied and worn after a short time compared to it's peers. Every time I go to a friend's house, there are two rx-7s in his neighborhood with engine problems that have sat in a driveway for years. Would I want an rx-7 if given to me? Yes, but not the constant rebuilds and procedures on starting and shutting of car to avoid flooding. Ironic to say on a forum that has had it's engine problems as well, but my .02.
