Honey, that really depends on the car, and who you ask. Do you know a mechanic who can work on a rotary, or do you yourself know how to work on them? I don't really know the nitty gritty on the work needed, but I can tell you it's not always cheap.

there's too many factors..

and too many possibilities when they have mileage like that.



it really comes down to "how well maintained was it?" and imho, i think this goes for any engine and/or tranny. not just the rotary and the FC's 5speed tranny.

Give us a location of where you live, and somebody can point you in the right direction of a ROTARY mechanic.
