I too wonder about the price. I don't know what the price is in USD. Looks like it is in good shape. Have it checked out by a Mazda dealership, or somebody that knows rotaries really well.



Also, ask for a carfax, or some kind of history check on the car. And ask what it was traded in on, was a fleet/rental car? Stuff like that.

The price is quite good, iv'e seen then going for around $47K to $55K.

I spoke more to the sales person about the car on the day and he said that the owner sold it after finding out it was a rotary. Apparently the owner didn't even know what that was and I don't think the salesmen does either. He said that there's something wrong with the cam sharft belt and that the motor needs new ones.



I thought, what the hell is he talking about. Some people have no idea
