CA Price opinions, (need ASAP)!

So my cousin's friend is interested in purchasing a 2004 RX-8 GT, seems almost fully loaded, but no leather, no heated seats, no nav. So I'm not actually sure if it's a GT. Anyways, has about 50,000 miles on the original engine, 2 previous owners, price is at 7800. Just wondering what you guys think of the price?

The engine has been running the thinner 5w20 oil I believe and recently had the spark plugs changed, but still on the original coils.

Just some background on myself, I'm a RX-7 owner, but my dad has a 2004 GT with 135,000 on the original engine, (long time rotary family, lol).

Thanks,
Eddie

If he buys it make sure he starts running thicker oil. 5w20 isn't enough for the 8. I paid around that for mine, with more mileage 3 years ago and am still enjoying till this day now at 119k. as long as the car is 6 speed it will be the high power sport suspension but not a gt without the extra interior stuff

Just make sure you test the car out, especially with the car warm before purchase. Drive it for a bit make sure no cel pops on

NAV was an option for all trims, it wasn't automatic for any trim.

If it's missing the leather and heated seat buttons then it isn't a GT

The price is good if the compression test is good and everything else checks out.

Replace the coils, wires, and plugs asap after purchase.

Your cousin's friend needs to read the new owner's thread.
