Buying Rx8 kuro or PZ?
Hi all I am buying an Rx8 finally!! Only thing is I have two options and I’m not sure which one to go for. So both similar price one is a Kuro which has had a compression test done and all coming up at high 6s and low 7, the other is a PZ that has less miles at 40k but hasn’t had a compression test. Would you risk it and get what I think a better Mazda or go for the safer option and go for the good compression one 🤔

Typically you ask the seller to have one done. You can pay for it if they insist. They can call their local Mazda dealer to have it done, or a rotary shop if there's one near.
All things being equal I'd go for the PZ. Kuro's aren't particularly special, it's just a trim level, and not always the top one. PZ's are rare and unique.

If they want to sell the car, they will. You can also negotiate.. a RX8 in unknown condition isn't worth as much as a known good one. So if they don't want to test, great, your offer is going to be some thoudands pounds less.
