06 shinka with 111k miles to buy or not?
Okay guys/gals im looking at this clean rx8. I called mazda and they verified the engine was replaced march 2012. At 88k miles. Its an Auto 6 speed. I got the dealer down to 8800 for it. I asked mazda about shinka that was on it and it did come with the shinka package from the dealer. I dog the **** out of it today and seems run damn good. And after running it hard and turned it off and started it back up without a problem. Cold start seem fine and not missing that I could tell. Shifting seem good. Im a field tech for komatsu so not new to mechanics at all. Had evox before, sky redline, audi TT. Did my own open source tuning so I know a little bit. But im new to RX8... Not worried about small stuff could go wrong just major. Eletrical transmission etc. I know about flooding them premix etc. Question is would you guys buy it? Thanks everyone!

because its auto I would not. But if you are looking specifically for an auto it doesn't sound too bad of a deal. For a little bit more you could find a much lower mile 8 but it probably would not be a shinka.

Also forgot add its got cat-back exhaust. And some good looking rims. If compression was low would it make it hard to start cold/hot. I seen people had early engine failures but less than year old?

The X is silent
It's hard to say exactly - it depends on where the section of the engine with the bad compression is when you attempt to start it, among other variables. The point is, hard, objective numbers from a compression test are more important than mileage.
