Unhappy My 2003 rx8 wont start

hello, so my Mazda wont start itself, it's starting with a rolling, in second gear with no problem, the guy from i bought it told me that engine has no compression. The car has 100k+ km on chassis.

So any ideas what it can be ? battery, flooding or i need a new engine ?

If the guy was correct in saying the engine has no compression, it will need a rebuild. Get Mazda or a rotary specialist to do a compression test.
