Help please! Compression test results

jeudi 26 janvier 2017

So I put a deposit down on a 2005 RX8 GT with 61k km on the odometer, sale pending compression test results. Compression test results are as follows:

rotor 1: 6.5, 6.7, 6.3 kg/cm2 @ 229 rpm
rotor 2: 6.8, 6.8, 6.8 kg/cm2 @ 230 rpm

I got photographs of the compression test results from the testing unit itself. I don't believe these have been normalized at all.

So if I read the compression testing guide correctly, here's what I end up with (I got the altitude of the dealership from Google Earth :P):

It looks to me like the one rotor is borderline, but not sure how serious it is.. Experts of the interwebs, please tell me if I should buy this car!

Thanks in advance!
