Troubleshooting P0302 cylinder 2 misfire

Looking to buy an rx8. Could this just be a spark problem or could it need a lot more work? I keep seeing it could just be ignition/spark. The sound in the video makes me believe it is worse than that but I'm new to rotaries.

I couldn't figure out how to upload the video so here's a link to the video (let me know if this isn't allowed):

That doesn't sound good at all. Is there a spark plug loose or something? It could just be ignition, the coils are a wear item, but on these cars, ignition problems kill engines if not treated. You want a compression test before buying any RX8, regardless of its condition.
