Im thinking of buying a 2004 rx-8 with 27,000 miles. After driving it I ireally want one. But I have read so many bad things about this car when it comes to the recalls and repeated service issues. Does the service issues continue even after you have the recalls done? Is this car worth buying?

04 RX8 GT, no problems, but mine used to be Betsey's from mazsport, took good care of it. mainly the one with problems was the AT, is yours MT or AT?

If everything is done then the problems are minimized.
This car will cost more to run, maintain and insure than a commuter car.
If you're a car enthusiast then you'll love the car and not care.

04 w/about 40k miles on it. No real problems. My biggest complaint is the freaking stereo and the fact that my R tail light fogs up in the rain....but that's about it. If you take care of it, it will take care of you... Read the manual!!! and enjoy....it's going to be one HELL OF A RIDE!!!
