First of all do you know ANYTHING about FD's and the rotary engine other than the fact that they are fast? You should do a lot of research on these cars (and I mean a lot) before you decide to buy one because they are not cars for people with little patience. If you want to get it, spend the money to get the car completely inspected by a rotary mechanic. It's very worth it.

Rebuilt title. No more than 6k for me. It was rebuilt for a reason, probably was in a bad accident.

the best thing is to see a mechanic for an inspection but be sure he does a compression test
