Buying an RX-8

Buying an RX-8
Found an 2003 RX-8 to buy with 80k Miles. Did a compression test with the following results.
4 sparks tested:
1st. 80 psi
2nd. 80 psi
3rd.80 psi
4th. 60 psi
The car takes 2-3 seconds to start and it has that for the past 4 years. It has been changed 2 times the sparks and once the coils.
If i buy this, is the engine gonna die on me any soon?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

im no expert, not even the owner of an rx8 yet, but im sure the results are supposed to read differently to this. there should be 3 readings from each rotor giving the compression figures from each face. something like this:
"Rotor #1: 770/750/750 kPa at 276 RPM
Rotor #2: 770/780/750 kPa at 280 RPM"
"Rotor #1: 770/750/750 kPa at 276 RPM
Rotor #2: 770/780/750 kPa at 280 RPM"
