Answer:
Buying a used rotary can be a hit or miss situation, but naturally-aspirated rotary's usually last much longer than a turbo engine.
Also, there are some synthetic oils that are specially designed for rotary engines (Royal Purple, for example) but they can be hard to find.
Take the vehicle to a rotary specialist shop to have it checked out and find out which mechanic has been servicing the car. If he is a good guy keep taking it to him as he already knows this vehicle,
Then begin checking out the forums at:

to learn about rotary engines and what it takes to keep them running clean.
Answer:
RX-7's are kind hot or cold.
Some drivers get them and run them into the ground.
While others take care of them and they last forever.
But for a first car, I wouldn't. This is why- how are you going to feel when you total it?
Answer:
If you're an aggressive driver, anticipate it to be “scrap metal” in about 1-3 years. If you're not, might last upto 4 - 6 years or more.
