Newbie Looking for advice,

I am looking to buy a 2006 RX8 with 57,236 miles from a dealership, the car has had only one owner and appears to be in good condition, I must confess though that my technical expertise in cars is pretty limited.

What should I look for in purchasing a used RX8 and I want to make sure i'm not getting messed with. Please could you give me some advice or things to look for I bow to your superior wisdom.



Thank you,

Matt

I previously had a 93 camaro that keeps stalling out when then engine warms up... its gonna cost more than I want to spend to get it fixed.

The other option was to go with a 04 for a little more money and about the same money.... Only thing is I wasn't sure if going with an 04 was a good idea. I test drove both cars and like the look and feel of both. I test drove the 04 and immediately fell in love with the RX8

04 -

there are some better with lower mileage, always check the Carfax, and have a mazda dealer run the vin # to insure all recalls have been done..
