Smile Bye new car

Hello my american friends. I live in Moscow and would like to bye 8.
My budjet around 18500-19500$
I need 2006, good condition, AT, leather, etc.
One question about rotor engine.
My agent in US will look for me good car with not big miliage, but how to check compression of the rotor?
May be you could give me some good traders who could possibility to check copression?
In my opinion it is better to bye a car from one of the users of this forum. Because here I can read history of user
Thanks in advance
Dmitry
Happy Valentine`s day!

Hello Dmitry,

It isn't as easy to check the compression on a rotary engine as it is on one with pistons. As far as I know, it takes a engine diagnostics machine that is only available at Mazda dealers. You would need to have it tested here, or the country of origin, before you buy the car to make sure that it is OK. You may want to request a CarFax report, for a U.S. car, before you buy it. Do a Internet search to see what this is and what it includes. The price is small for the amount of information it will give you.
