Buying 95 RX7... any pitfalls?

[Cyprus106]

ok, I've got a question... I found a damn good deal on an RX7. Great condition, all stock, TT 95 with 70K miles. Some stupid shit sideswiped it and it got repaired and sold. I've wanted a rex for years but just never really seriously considered buying one till now.

I've heard the engines catch fire easy and/or they need rebuilds before 100K miles. True? Any of it? All of it? How much does a rebuild cost and what should I look out for? I don't know much about RX7 rotaries and I don't want to get raped here and never know it.

yeah and if you dont know anything about rotarys, your going to pay too much for anything.

Well, my experience has been that they need rebuilds from 50-70k almost consistently, depending on the maintenance done.
