That would be about $2500 USD. If the car is sound inside and out, miles aren't a big deal on these engines when work is done right.
My big check on this car would be rust. Take a good look EVERYWHERE (under the car, under any and all carpeting you can see, in the spare tire area. If the car is rust free, and not just redone to remove rust, you're in good shape. The inside would be the same... look over everything well, if it's in good shape, you'll be fine. If the leather needs to be redone, that's not a big deal. However, if the plastic pieces are damaged... start talking reductions.
Next check is to see how this car has been maintained since day 1. Maintenance is critical on rotaries, so if it has been done properly, you're in luck.
If everything looks good, get a compression test done as part of a machanic's check from a garage specializing in rotaries.
If all this has a clean bill of health, then I would recommend buying it. I'm not fond of the exhaust myself, but the price leaves enough room for a MazdaTrix replacement.
By the way, this is the 1st generation RX-7 he is considering. I have always considered the 2nd gen to be the most gorgeous RX-7, though admittedly more aimed towards touring than sport. The 3rd gens, while a great sports car, suffer from bland styling. I would love to find an old RX-3 or RX-4... but good luck!
