I am currently looking for another 2nd gen, I'm in lower alabama so there are not very many. I've found one in the paper for $3500, '91 vert dark blue (new paint), 119K miles, great shape. I would appreciate your thoughts? 1-10 on 2hd gen scale.

In general, the NA rotaries are about as reliable as any honda. They just don't get as good fuel mileage. As for the top, it cost me $550 to get the one on my Capri replaced, and that's a manual top. If the top needs replacing, add in another grand at least.

No my top was like new! I have seen tops being sold on ebay for less than $500.00.
I have not had any costly fixes "knock on wood" but have installed a Racing Beat header and Mazdatrix high flow cat that cost about $650.00 but well worth it!

those would be my first mods, given that i didn't have to "fix" anything. What did you do about actual muffler, I imagine it can get pretty loud in a vert?

For now I have the stock cat back and it sounds great.
I could not imagine having an N1 style can muffler on the car it would be way too loud.
I will be installing a RB cat back after I install a new clutch this fall.
