X2, I had a pristine gen3 bought at 22k miles and in the family for 3 yrs. I was working with a good tuner, following all the advice, turbo timer, synthetic oil added to the gas for the apex seals, a few other things I don't recall. it was driven spirited but not abused and it was a blast from 4-9k, a dog till you got to 4k.

It was an unreliable moneypit, moreso then any car I ever owned. That said if you are ready to go to your favorite tuner and drop 8k or so BEFORE you touch the engine it will be a semi reliable screamer. But it will go down and you will be spending more money on it waiting to get it back. Add more to the hassle if your favorite rotary specialist lives far away.
