Thinking about getting RX7, a few questions for a newbie

Hello, I currently own a turbo eclipse. I have been thinking about buying an rx7. I have a few questions, and if anyone could help me out I would really appreciate it.

What are the main problems with these cars that happen a lot?

Are there lots of mechanics that are able to work on the rotary engines?

I saw that someone said 85K on an rx7 was a lot of miles, but that doesnt seem to high, so how long do these engines last, and how many miles are "high" on these things?

Are these cars reliable?

Do you need to change the oil every 2000 miles? and what is the thing about changing the sealant?

Is insurance on a tt car more expensive than a reg. single turbo?

Thats all I can think of now, but I need to know lots, so just give me any information that a newbie would need to know, I would just like to know some honest opinions from current owners. Thanks

Check the stickies at the top of this section...they'll answer most, if not all of your ?'s. Once you've done so, come back with more specific questions and we'll be HTH.
