(Potential Owner) Test drove an 8. I'm in love with a cougar

It's a 2006 whitewater pearl "shinka" with 116k miles on the original engine. Drove like a dream. The rotary seems to be a product of natural selection that's destined to surpass the archaic design of piston engines. Only problem with it is that it had to be jumped to start. Owner has had it for 5k miles and barely driven it due to his wife not liking it (it was for her). It's at the Mazda place having a comp. check right now. When the car was running and I removed the positive cable from the battery the car died. My first guess was alternator but I'm new to rosaries so I was wondering if it could be something else?
