Good RX-8 to buy? Help.
Ive been considering buying an rx8 and have read over most of the information in this forum. From what i gather basically take care of it and pay close attention and you shouldn't have any issues. Just looking for some feed back on this particular 05 rx8 and thoughts on whether or not it would be a good buy.

call Mazda and run VIN number. See what engine its on and what has been done to it. Carfax is also great. sometimes it just says recommended maintenance. my recommended maintenance was replacing the engine. but I only found that out when I called Mazda.

I HATE SPEEDBUMPS!
Checking the VIN and the CarFax doesn't say everything what's done with it. Anyway, just get an engine compression test before you commit to buy, good luck.

And I know it wont tell you everything, but Im saying if the car has 70k miles on it, and you find out the engine was replaced at 60k miles, then you have a good shot at a good engine. 10k mile engine probably has good compression. probably.
Calling them to find out cant hurt. Compression test good idea.
If that car is still under warranty, it would not be for much longer right?
its 100k miles or 8 years. I think.
Good Luck.

the key info is the emissions warranty, and the engine warranty, and any outstanding recalls.
the main cat, and engine are maintenance items.
also it should get a compression check.
other than that get it, its nice!
