Are you happy with your Rx8?

Drive it everyday, and in temps over 95 degrees (today was about 110) for the last two months. No issues.

Everybody is just scared something is going to happen. Once I got over that fear, it makes it easier to own.

And I STILL give her a redline a day!

Why is it one the truck? someone shipping it in for you to look at, or is it already purchased? I love my car. I have had it for over a year and I still get out of it and stop and stare at it and smile. I have had some issues with it, but NOTHING would made me not love it.

yeah, i went to NJ to look at one and almost bought it till i found the rear bumper zip tied on.... but got in it, and made sure i would be ok (6ft5) and started it up etc, but the guy wouldn't let me drive it so, i called the other dealer out of state and said i wanted it, and it was picked up and i should have it sunday or tuesday at the latest.

before finalizing the deal, CHECK THE COMPRESSION. you want to make sure the motor isnt almost carbon locked. Also check the oil cooler lines, verify they are not leaking. Look at the oil coolers and radiator, make sure there are no holes, bad dents, etc. Also check out the exhaust bolts, to see if the have been broken loose recently. that one may be kind of hard, but if the bolts are scratched up the car may have been previously "modded" and then put back to stock before selling. There are alot more things to check, but that is were I normally start.
