im assuming your not interested in trading for a nice fc turbo plus cash

2gslse · 02-03-2012, 06:51 PM

Not at the moment. the car is currently pending sale depending on logistics. I will update status either way.

2gslse · 02-23-2012, 08:28 PM

Potential buyer disappeared, car still for sale

djmtsu · 02-23-2012, 09:17 PM

Such a good deal, I can't believe it has not sold yet.

***TitaniumTT*** · 02-23-2012, 09:22 PM

Damn... everytime I look at this car I give it some serious thought... but I need a daily that can best 25mpg if I'm gonna buy it.

I can attest to how well put together this car is. It is still the highest rwhp n/a RX8 that has ever dyno'ed at this shop. AND it has even beat a few turbo'ed 8's.... No seriously, it did.

You know you want it, its DGRR ready.

She sure is...

jeeze...

$8500 for a high mileage good shape, "powerful" NA Rx-8

you cannot even find a Rx-8 in Canada (Alberta atleast) for that amount unless it wither blown, (dont know how) or its a salvage/wreck...

damn these stupid Canadian new/used car prices...

our only hope is the 15 yr Import law...

If I had the cash, I would jump on this, fly down, and drive it at DGRR, then drive it back... all the while hoping for the best :P

I was considering it when I bought my 8 last month, but I needed a warranty. Sucks, because this one already has most of the mods done to it that I am in the process of doing now

WE3RX7 · 02-24-2012, 09:16 AM

I still can't believe the potential buyer disappeared like he did....

Brian - you could slap a MOTEC on it and I'm sure that magical ECU could net 40MPG EASY on her....

***TitaniumTT*** · 02-24-2012, 10:56 AM

Warranty?!? Pssssshhhh, I am my own warranty

2gslse · 03-02-2012, 01:46 AM

Time to bump this back up. $8250/ OBO
I don't have to sell it but I can't drive this one as much as I should my time is split between this RX-8 my FD and almost complete turbo FB.

Awesome ride, and smokin' deal.

I'm in the preliminary stages of shopping for an 8, but not to the point that I would want to bother you with questions and stuff yet. While I'm certain that I want one, I'm still new to the rotary scene and am trying to educate myself as much as possible about what to expect from these extraordinary machines.

No problem. Once you drive a Rx-8 for awhile it is like relearning how to drive all over again anytime you get into a regular car. They just don't handle or feel as good at speed like the 8 does.

Apart from the aesthetics, I think that and the uniqueness of the rotary engine is what's draws me to them the most.

I feel like this whole process is going to be frustrating. Car shopping in itself is a huge pain in the ass (at least for me.) With a car like the RX8, it almost seems like a better idea to buy one privately, simply because if you find someone who's into rotaries, you're more likely to find a car that's been treated right and maintained.
