Welcome, Looks great. read this thoroughly if you haven't already. Did you get a rotary specific compression test on your motor? How much did you pay for the car ?

Good on ya and welcome aboard! Do you know if that 24k miles is on the original engine or has it had a rebuild?

Regardless it looks nice and clean, nice seats!

Hey Nisaja

It surely is!! I felt like I had to buy it once I found out. I just did the regular maintenance. Tires, brake pads, brake rotors, spark plugs, wires, and coil. Also change the motor oil. Car runs great.

I might be keeping it for awhile. I normally change cars every year but this car is different which I like

Welcome,

I recommend reading through the threads in my signature. Lots of good stuff for an older car.

Welp looks like you caught a unicorn! I would still get a compression test done on it, although I would be surprised if it was low. Enjoy it! such a beautiful car!

I'm always a little wary of low mileage rotaries. But this one looks good.
