Get a compression test from a Mazda rotary mechanic as part of the contingency for the deal.

sorry for the late reply but ive been driving my new 8 all weekend 
passed the compressioin test with flying colors everything under the hood is like new. The problem areas include the front and rear bumpers, really grimmy head lights, and the previous owner did a crappy job of installing an after market radio.
