Possiable buyer
Hi everyone I am new to this site I am thinking of making the leap into a 2009 RX-8 Manuel transmission with 83,340 miles on the car. The seller had sent me 5 short videos everything looks in order the thing is I have heard many stories of this cars many issues my buddy is a mechanic just not on rotary engines. Are then any owners in the Bucks county pa. Area willing to share some much needed advice? My cell number 215-526-4838 thanks

If you don't mind, share the price you are thinking of paying. When I was looking the first thing I learned was how low the resale is on these, even a good condition good running one, because of the reputation for problems. Buying an RX-8 with over 80,000 miles means more than likely you'll have a compression problem and need of a rebuild or replacement engine in your future, unless you plan to just put a few miles on it now and then. As everyone here will tell you, don't buy without a compression test first.

Start your research in Forums - General Topics - new member forum and specifically read this one https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-f...t-here-202454/ it will answer a lot of questions.
If you decide you still want to look at this car then the Compression test is mandatory to calculate the fair value.
