Tips on inspecting 3rd gen

I'm going to look at a 3rd gen that someone is selling, and since I'm not an RX7 guy, or even a rotary guy, I was wondering what I advice you guys would give, as far as inspection? For instance, checking compression (test only?), seals, turbos, tranny, suspension? Thanks!

take it to a mechanic if you can, but if there is anything wrong (i.e tranny grinds etc.) I would hold off until you can get it checked out. Make sure all recalls have been done.

BTW, if you don't know much about the 3rd gen. or rotary engines, it would be in your best interest to learn about them either before, or soon after you buy the car. 3rd gen 7's are honestly like no other car, and require special attention to detail. Anyway, good luck with your potential buy.
