Signing for an 8 soon.

Signing for an 8 soon.
Through searching and scouring, and help from a friend in the industry I've found my potential 8. Haven't seen the vehicle yet but I can give the basics and maybe you guys could give me some common advice?
I'm a new user to these forums. My first rotary was an '86 RX-7 but it was short lived, bought it at a huge steal but couldn't afford repairs. Ended up selling it after a few months. I'm pretty much burned out on the public used car deal so I'm going through a dealer now that I have steady income.
I'm a noob to manuals and of course am going to need practice to get better. I decided to switch to a stick ever since my friend essentially saved our lives with some timely engine braking during some particularly bad rainy day driving, but that's a story for another day.
Anyway! My find is currently an '05 RX-8 Grand Touring with a six speed manual and around 25,000 miles for 12K. The lenders being so tight fisted now are forcing me to get a co-signer. No biggie for me but anything I should watch out for specifically in the '05 model or something not covered in the new and potential owners page?

Whats the difference between a private used car and a dealer used car? Either way a private person owned it and possibly beat the hell out of it. You can take a car and get it checked at a mechanic to make sure its solid and pay less by going for the private sale.

I HATE SPEEDBUMPS!
Good choice. Mines still running strong like new ![Smilie](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Nothing really to watch out for. Just take care of the car and the car will take care of you. Preventive maintenance is a must for a long lasting relationship
