I would hop on that Kouki if anything else. Super clean inside and out, you could probably even see if he would bend a little on the price (which isn't bad at all). All in all the Kouki looks like the best bang for your buck imo.

I've had 3 Rx7's, if its a true 69k on the original engine, you will be replacing it within 10-20k miles. FD's are notorious for blowing up young, and often. If this ad isnt a scam, and you buy the car, if you finance it take the loan out for an additional $3-4k, that way you will have money to replace the engine and do a bunch of the heat-reducing mods while you're at it. You're gonna need it. Trust me.

Go to RX7club and do a LOT of research. Personally, I think an FD is a really, really bad idea for a first car. An unbelievably awesome car, but not as a first.

and theres always a chance of having your apex seal s*** the bed. Its definately not a cheap car to work on either.

But if it was me, i'd get it either way. fd's are just too awesome.

And as for the s12. Dont know much about it.
yea its possible. but if youre buying a rotary, no matter what condition, you should always replace the apex seals. just a nice security. and thsi may sound crazy, but a little secret to keeping a rotary alive is beinging it to redline (or close too) every now and then.. blows out all the s*** thats built up off the apex seals.
