The Rx7 has some high quality hardware, especially in the exhaust, designed to withstand the rotary engine heat. However a broken apex seal means total engine teardown or replacement. If its been over 80K miles since a rebuild, you are taking your chances. The ignition system is pretty funky too, and the interior plastics become very brittle with age, ie the movable air vents on the dash snap like potato chips. Gas mileage sucks (13-19) but redlining that motor thru the gears is just awesome!
