well thats funnier than most cause he goes as far as saying its a "4 cylinder rotary" not just putting 4 cylinder on the engine choice. Most people who know its a rotary know it doesn't have cylinders.

I agree with Felix, it's called for a 4-cylinder for insurance reasons. It does say it's a rotary though.

Probably out of his ***, which appears to be the same place he got that price. $5100 and still hasn't met the reserve? Ouch.

i know that car!! and the people, its the mazda garage in mountain morris Pa. that car look like it just came off the show room, but they have no damn clue what a rotary engine is. knowing them guys they set the reserve at 10 or more grand, the guy that traded it in traded that straght up for a older ranger.

no they are too dumb to count "intake runners"...

Clearly, they count spark plugs.

not everyone can be geniuses like us....

Its ok, my sister thought my parents van had a V8?

I wouldnt sweat it, majority of Americans know little to know nothing about their cars and use them only as transportation. This includes Corvette owners, RX-7 owners, Porsche owners... ohh well

I would never buy a car from a guy that doesn't know what kind of engine it has. This probably also means he doesn't know about the special maintenance that a rotary engine needs. At least he knows how to keep a car clean.

EBay won't let you make a car entry that matches our cars. Either put in 4 cyl (or 6-8, etc) or you don't get in.
I am sure that dealer has a REX for sale, some "professional" just put the wrong picture in.
