I bought an '09 RX-8 R3 back in the beginning of July. It had lots of weird issues... and apparently a blown engine. Spun bearings, so I can't even make funny apex seal jokes.
It had a pretty long list of mods, so not a total waste.
While I was replacing the engine with a friend, I did Hotchkis swaybars and fixed a LOT of other nonsense. Replaced the stupid spherical bearing Megan Racing lower control arms in the rear.
Typical rotary, visiting gas stations often
About a week after purchase the damn door handle broke. The fix involved trapping myself inside the car among other stupid things.
Oil pan full of copper
Pulling the engine a week and a half later
