You have a GT trim.

I highly recommend you read the new owner thread, as I'm betting that for that price there are problems lurking under the surface. I am guessing from the "04 plate" part that you are in the UK? So 1,500 is 1,500 british pounds, which is about what a blown-engine'ed RX-8 costs here.

I recommend a compression test, clean the sensors, replace the ignition, and replace the fluids, for starters.

Simple question, do you have headlamp washers? If yes = 231, if no = 192
