New owner needs hlp!
Just bought a
used
silver 04 rx-8 gt (no navi)
paid about 22000 after everything
18,749 miles
warranty still in effect.
At the dealership, the test drive was great. Everything was working well. Clean carfax. can't complain. But I drove it home bout 26miles, put it in the garage. Later went and started it up and the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT came on. Read the manual. Filled up my gas tank. The light is still on. I'm thinking get insurance asap, then hit the dealer. Can any1 else shed some light? (i've searched the forums, but no avail).

Check to see if all the recalls are done. Go here for the TSB (technical service bulletin) http://www.finishlineperformance.com/rx8/bulletins.html

Does seem a bit high, but you can't make a judgment on the "after everything" amount unless you know what it includes. Like taxes, extended warranty, and what all.

Screw gas mileage
If it is the gas cap ajar, it may take a few days to reset itself. Mine does. being in jersey I don't get to do the gas myself, so sometimes the guys won't tighten it properly

The best used bargains I found were:
MS 6 (missed a nice one waiting for insurance check)
RX8
WRX, surprisingly low resale there too
GTO, those are pretty worthless too, great cars though even though they don't handle all that well
