Is this a good deal?

Hello All,

I am thinking about buying an RX8 today. I test drove it earlier this week and loved it.

The car is a 2006 shinka edition. White with the white/black interior. The car has 67000km on the original engine and the dealer is asking $12800.

Just wanted to here some of your opinions on this? It actually belonged to a member on here (Spence15)

I would appreciate anyone's input.

Thanks

Always get a compression test before u buy, always.

If that checks out, then yeah, sounds like a good deal to me.

Did he get the Catalytic fixed?

How about the paint job?

What ended up with the tail lights?

As far as I know, Spence15 took good care of his car. Put a lot of work into it!

If it still has the MS package, I wouldn't mind taking them off your hands...

If its owned by a member on this forum, then it should be okay...unless if its taken cared off properly. Others already suggested that it is taken cared off and the price is just in the ball park. Anyway, it is better to have a compression test done...just to make sure it is running just fine. Good luck and take care of it if you do get it, Spence15 will appreciate that.
