Sounds good. Welcome to the forum!
How much do you know abour rotary engines? Try to learn as much as you can. Read everything you can on this forum, especially in this section. The search function turns up tones of usefull info.
Also check out
www.howstuffworks.com (search for "rotary engine")
www.rotaryengineillustrated.com

Well, other than the fact the there is a rotary engine, the rest of the car is pretty similar to other cars - so look for the usuall stuff.
These cars are known to have poor electrical systems, so check over EVERYTHING (switches, lights, gauges, etc)
There is a FAQ section at the top of this forum which should help you with what to look for while buying.

Don't forget to check out the Canadian Forum as well!

 

Im not sure what exactly the conversion rate is but im pretty sure $4,900 canadian is a whole lot of money for an n/a with a blown motor.

 

Where does it say it has a blown engine?
WAY too much if it's blown - probably about $3000 too much!

 

I dont know where you read it was blown, but its not. lol The owner is getting a brand new 04 M3, to go along with the bmw he already has, so he wants the rex out of there. im gonna ask him for a lot less cuz i heard that rex are way to expensive to repair depending on what is wrong.

 

whats the canadian forum.

 

Go to the upcoming/regional section and there is a canadian section, it has a candian only FS/WTB section and an area to discuss anything canadian car related or otherwise, can also find out about meets in your area
P.S. I knew you were canadian from your username

 

I'm surprised no one has posted:

1. Check the FAQ
2. Check http://www.aaroncake.net/rx-7/buy1.htm
