Help with Info on RX8

Going to look at a 2004 RX8 tomorrow and was hoping someone could help me out with things i should look out for, i understand the rotary engine are
different to normal piston engines.

I have attached a photo of the RX8 im going to look at and hes asking £800 which i thought was cheap which is why im having doubts about buying the car.

Any help would be fantastic

hmm people know a lot more than me, I'm a new owner as well but the first thing I would look at is compression test on the motor and then after that the normal car inspection look for any signs of damage, wear or anything that looks like its gona cost you money

MOT = annual inspection in the UK. You need it to drive the car on roads.

It is cheap, which probably means something's wrong. See if it starts, and it starts again once warmed up and stopped. For the rest, start reading here:

Good on you to check here before putting money down.

If you buy it for that amount, budget an additional 2x-3x that amount for the engine rebuild.
