It has 107,000 miles...

As I mentioned somewhere here that rule of thumb on rotary engine life span is at about 160K. Though, I've heard people are driving their rex with over 200K on their rotary.

Do you know anything about working on cars (no offense) especially rotary?

If you're planning on taking it to a shop you'll be paying pretty penny for parts and labor for it.

And if you proceeds to buy that vehicle...looks good btw, ck for compression and see if seals are OK. Ck for smoke coming out of the exhaust...color and etc. How bad is oil leak, feel the texture of oil and ck the back of the oil cap and see if you see any smudgy texture (shows if oil has been contaminated with coolant) ck all the hoses...they are also pricy, and other common mechanical ck.

Good luck and welcome!
