Here's a pic of my "new" RX-8
It's an 05 model with 83K miles. I have to get the window tint redone as I'm fairly certain it will not pass inspection in my state. 35% is the darkest allowed on a passenger car. Anyway, I picked it up for $5K.

Why anyone would want to darken the interior of a car that already has smallish windows and a dark interior is beyond me. Kinda the opposite impulse of what makes people want a convertible. Well, to each his own, I guess.

Looks like the car is in pretty good condition. US$5k is a pretty good deal if the engine is good.
6-speed or auto?
Getting the compression test done is a priority. It will help you know how healthy your engine is.
And yes, a lot of the threads aimed at noobs here are very helpful. Go to rx8help.com for some helpful tips.
I still fail to understand why someone wants a heavy tint. Like someone mentioned before, the windows are already smaller than something like my old Honda Accord Coupe, which is designed to be a sporty family car rather than a sports car like RX-8.
And what kind of privacy anyways? You can't really do that in the back seats of an RX-8 because of the middle console...
Maybe someone carries their illegal drugs in the car or something.
While I don't have inspections at where I live, I learned from some people in the States that the inspections used to be pretty loose, as in you can pass an inspection with an 8000K plug-and-play HID in a car not designed for it. Now there are tons of people who had to remove their tints and catbacks because they tightened up the inspections now. I guess that will depend on where you live and how lazy the inspectors are.

tint looks good, keeps sun off your interior, i dont like people seeing me while i drive, dont like thieves seeing whats in your car while its parked, tint holds glass together if you get in an accident and you can have sex in an 8
