Found a cheap FC, no idea what to do

I found a 86 blue 2+2 (I was interested in rear seats, but dunno if s4 rears work in s5...)

The guy says the car spits out coolent smoke but drives fine if you dont mind smoke, I was thinking of doing the coolent treatment which I read bout in the 1stgen section which fixed a unbearably smoking FB 12a into 6 months later autox n such it still didnt smoke.

He wants 500, I'm unsure what to do though I only got 3k to live off of, my automatics going out, I'm sure my engine will only last X longer, though I do plan to comp test it soon.

Buy the s4, treat the coolent see if it stops blowing out smoke, yes then drive it, if not find someone who will take the car minus the tranny/manual parts and swap my car, then have a known rebuilder rebuild my engine

I dont got room for another car, but 500 dollars, just 500! I had a friend that spent that much on drugs in 2 days, I'm sure I could let that go... but fc's, they get into your wallet and don't stop

Buy it and have it rebuilt while your auto is still working?

If you are having trouble with funds now, i'd say pass on it. Save the money for the FC you have now.

Buy it and part it out to earn some extra cash. Lets get as many of these Rx-7's dismantled as possible. Lets kill a dying breed...
