it looks nice but a little pricey. for that price you get a running TII that needs a little work or for just a little more you can get a really nice one. browse around the for sale section.look in the FAQ thread at the top of this section and read up on what to look for when buying a 2nd gen.
that car may be worth the asking price but theres not enough info on it and not enough pics.
take your time and dont jump on the first 1 you see. good luck.

Former Moderator. RIP Icemark.
As far as things to look for, please read the FAQ for FC sticky thread found at the top of this, the 2nd RX-7 technical section. In the FAQ for FC you will find links for things to look for and to be aware of.
and he is asking about twice what that car is worth. At best it is worth $2000

Start low and work up, but make sure to save some extra money to get the car a set of matching rims 
But in my opinion you can find much better at a lower price. Like the others said try to find something in the forum "for sale" section.

Look farther away, becuase if you buy a car you can drive a decent home without any issues, its a keeper.
Have you checked out recycler or craigslist?
My 86 was a craigslist special, paid $400 from a 700 asking price.
My best advice to you is take your time.

it looks like a good deal since it seems he spent alot of money on it and all u need to do is fix the engine how much does that cost for FCs? i think i might buy the car then bring it to this rotary shop near by
