It is recomended you get it rebuilt. I bought one, rear rotor had a nick in it. They are not always a drop in and go engine.

depends if ur a gambler or not......thats pretty much how it goes. dont buy one expecting it to run, or expecting it to run for a long time. i think getting a cheap rebuild is alot better. like rotaryressurrection. u KNOW it will run when it gets back, and if it doesnt it has a warranty

Some of them have warranty.
There's a place around here that I contacted and one of the duds told me
stuff about how they store their rotary engines, such as injected oil for lubrication.
I don't know if he was telling the truth or not, but he did know stuff about the rotaries.
The company has a good reputation.
Engines have warranty and compression tested.

So it's up to you to do your research.

I live about 25 miles from this JDM engine shop, so I can stop by anytime.

And for that warranty, you need a written document. Ever heard of that?
Receipt, warranty documentation etc. Make sure you read if you don't know how to, ask a friend.
