Yup needs a rebuild. Soft seals at least and you may as well rebuild the whole thing. Not a very easy job but it can be done if you have experience with cars. If not I would not suggest buying it.

Heh. Rotary engines are not all rebuild candidates. You can get over 100k miles out of one without too much of a problem as long as you take care of it. And on the plus side compared to most engines they are much simpler to rebuild. I'd say if you can pick it up for around a thousand and put another 1500 into it getting it rebuilt you will have yourself one of the best cars ever made.
