Can someone tell me if it is a good deal?

Can someone tell me if it is a good deal?

I recently found this 05 for just under 10k, with the year and mileage i bet i can knock it down to about 9500 out the door. just wondering if it is a worthy investment. 2005 Mazda RX-8, $9,992 - Cars.com

I am going to this dealership at 10am tomorrow to test drive and haggle, if someone could let me know if it is worth it? that would be great.

Get a compression test. Price looks about average for the age/mileage.

The intake would need to be changed out for stock or another aftermarket one as the on that is in there will make you lose power.

Hard to tell if it is worth it without actually seeing the car. You definitely need to get a compression test done on it at a Mazda dealer. I would also ask them to do a once over of the whole car to see what they think.

Price seems firm. Test drive the car and see how it is. Lastly, get a compression test before you sign those paperworks, good luck.
