I need help with my purchase of a FC3S

Hi Rotary fans,

I am about to purchase a 1988 fc3s (the car I have always wanted) at 140k miles. Everything works on the car, but it has a "hot start problem." I was wondering if this purchase was worth it for 2000 dollars. Also I would like to know what the "hot start problem" is all about, and how I would come upon fixing it.

Thanks for the help,
Fenix

Yes it is having problems when you try to start the engine once it is already warmed up.

Also it MIGHT need a rebuild. If it does need one or just a whole new engine... how much would it be for a whole new 13b, or how much would be to get it rebuilt?

It is a turbo if that helps.

Well that will be a very easy fix if that is the problem.
