Let me guess, http://chicago.craigslist.org/nch/cto/846172463.html

Banzai Racing is in Indiana, but I don't know of any other rotary specialists in the area.

midwest is kinda behind on the rotary shops.. but its honestly alot cheaper to do most of the work yourself really..

There's a buyers guide in the FAQ. There is also a bunch of other information in the FAQ that you will be surely interested in when you buy the car. Good stuff for research.

For you second question, I recommend asking the local forum vice the technical section.

Nope I have been out of town, but it looks like it could be a good deal.

Nope but I just looked. I assume you are looking at the one with sleepy eyes. Looks a bit rough around the edges but if its just that its a good deal, since its a dealer you will probably have to have them do a compression test for you.
