I just recently got off the phone with the salesman, he gave me some info on the car. 1 owner, meticulously taken care of (no scratches, dings etc). It was pointed out to me that the headlight washer panel was missing i didn't even notice, expensive to replace? Im going to mazda soon with the VIN to check out the records.

I live in Richmond Hill so its a 5 hour and 23 minute drive from here, I don't want to waste my time and go down there and check it out. I want to make sure everything is good before I head down. Also the car-proof is clear, no accidents.

What do you guys think?

 

Compression check should always be done on a used rotary

 

^ of course.
i would have them get that done without question

 

did the previous owner have all maintenance/ service records? Handy for warranty.

Also, find out if all of the TSB's that apply to the car were ever taken care of.

Nice ride though!

 

okay thing is its at a ford dealership i asked about service records and they have none. i grabbed the vin and went to my local mazda just now they said they couldn't disclose any info to me but all the tsbs were taken care of except for the recall on the clutch pedal itself.

 

does everyone hate me or something?
why doesnt anyone respond to my threads

 

get it

 

call your local mazda dealer and ask them if they will honor the warranty (or at least back you up, in the even you need it).
If they agree, this sounds like a good deal! If not, then I'd recommend looking for something else

 

okay guys so since the car is so far away i told the guy to make me a startup vid and stuff
what do u guys think? kinda sounds like a hardstart

" 17 inch rims"

" this is where the power is"

And it seems like he shut it off cold !!!

 

Is an auction car or a "trade in"? You can always go to an auction and pick one up for the same price, dealers usually charge 500-800$ to pick up a car from an auction.

 

startup sounded pretty good actually, considering he turned it off cold and restarted right again.

 

really? what was the noise when he was reversing
kind of sketched me out a little lol

 

probably just a hard start because there was fuel in the engine. If you can, ask them to check the plugs and make sure that they haven't been fouled!!!
Other then that, it sounds good.
Did they agree to do a compression test?

 

im going to tell them to get one done.
listen to the part where hes reversing. whats that nooise

 

fera, if you are willing to drive that far, call marcel at performance mazda in Ottawa, 1-613-830-6320 if hes not there ask for kevin, they will go to the auction for you and pick you up at car.. tell them on the phone you are from the rx8club and rob sent you.. ( marcel is the used car manager ) you will geta good deal my good friends owns that dealership

 

thats the thing, im not sure that i want to drive that car.
this is the year, price range im looking for thats why im interested.
i would never go this far just to search for one

 

and it's red.

 

^ +1

 

sometimes the 50 in gas can save you tons, if you do decide give them a call, but make sure you mention my name happy hunting

p.s I picked up mine 2006 rx8 gt authentic speed bodykit spoiler CAI exhaust for 20 000 plus taxes it only had 29 k on the odometer

 

^thanks man
hopefully ill be apart of the community soon

 

Not too shabby If you decide to sell the CAI... please let me know I want one sooo bad

 

I would consider it, hate when it rains water gets sucked in lol,, do you have any CAI now ???

 

^ Nope. Im looking for either AEM or MS but would much rather MS cause its "Mazdaspeed" LOL. I was planning on making some kind of secondary grill to protect it front water :P.

 

to me its all the same, if you want I'll find one online that I may want and you can just buy and we can swap.. up to you
