Need some help deciding whether to make a purchase.
So I am new to RX7s and need some advice. I am looking to purchase an 86 but it needs some work. It runs but the seller says it is not drivable due to the car having "an air flow problem and two injectors not firing." Any idea what these issues might be related to? Would it be a rather simple fix? If I can fix it on the spot it would save me the cost of getting it towed. I have not gone out yet to take a look at it. Let me know thanks.

Yea I agree. I doubt he came to that conclusion himself or if that is even an accurate description of the problem. Maybe someone took a quick look at it for him and he is just reiterating. Basically the info I have is:
-1986 (need to find out whether its base/gxl/turbo)
-the issues mentioned above: air flow prob and 2 injectors not firing
-everything is stock
-13b motor 73k original miles
-manual
Would this be a an okay buy for like 500$?

Find out what the actual symptoms are rather than what he says is wrong with it. I.E. idles badly, no power in top end, etc... It could be something simple like a clogged cat which would make it a good deal.
And I agree that a compression test and possibly checking engine codes would be good ideas before buying.
