A nice find for someone looking to start from stock on a crazy project, or just to keep a nice low-miles original car. There can't be that many left. Sure it's going to need some attention, but somebody might just bite on it.
If the car was garaged as the ad says, and only has 4k on it, then I would think that the interior would have fared quite well. It didn't spend much time in the sun.
I think I'd rather have that car at $25k than a beat-to-**** one for $15k.
It certainly doesn't help that the seller is a newb, though.

i wouldn't buy it, you'll probably have to do a major engine overhaul soon. Sitting that long without regular driving isn't good for any car let alone a rotary. When I go overseas to the desert in a year or so I'm making sure my wife drives my car at least once a month to keep it going.

Somebody shut their damn pie-hole and buy the damn thing. It's the only way we can settle this "bubbly dash" question. 
no no my car has a bubbly dash problem that rob commented on.

i dunno, my car was from cali/texas since it came off the line (89) i got it last year and a part of the dash was bubbled, like a popcorn ceiling kind of texture almost.
and when rob was painting the car he noticed if it sits in the sun it starts leaking some weird fluid out of the bubbled area.
its rather disgusting.

It actually sounds like your average demonic possession. No big woop.
