Nice things are expensive... you've got big wheels, big brakes, an odd engine & a rare car... none of that ends up to cheap... but it does add up to be fun!

 

sell rx8 off

 

good idea.

 

Jack up car and remove lower tray to look for leaks or check the over flow resoviour bottle.

It can leak from the bottom. This is a common problem for it to crack.

Also it could be leaking from the water pump but you you can't see it due to the under tray.

You can check your oil to see if its been leaking into the engine.

Find the problem.

 

Get rid of it instead of fixing it, so somebody else can be dumped with the same problem.

 

So if my car over heats but doesn't leak coolant I should sell it when all it needs is a thermostat?

Get real... find the problem then make a judgement.

 

If you sell it, it will end up in the hands of an old granny who spent her retirement to get a beautiful car. Little does she know the engine will probably be blown soon and not covered under warranty and then she has to live in poverty for the rest of her life. Is that what you want ?

 

Smash it into a tree, collect the insurance and buy one without the coolant issue
