Question Are the Katrina RX8's still around at the dealers?

I was surfing around on on an auto classifieds website the other day and found a fully loaded beautiful 2005 GT 6spd RX8 with an appearance package and about 25,000 miles on it in Arkansas for only $21,990. The price seems a little low for an '05 GT. I'm actually thinking about going down there to check it out and possibly trade my RX8 in for it. I know that carfax isn't always accurate. Are there any other ways of finding out if this car is one brought in from the Gulf coast after Katrina or is this typical?

Here is a link for a free Carfax flood check....

[url]http://www.carfax.com/cfm/general_check.cfm?partner=PRL_A[/url


In September, 2005 CARFAX added the Flood Alert Advisory to their reports to alert you to check the vehicle out prior to making the purchase. This vital intelligence allows you to spot vehicles registered in the areas impacted by hurricane damage such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The alert tells you if the vehicle was registered in a county declared a flood disaster area by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)

Hope this helps

Christian

I ran the VIN and it says it wasn't one damaged by the flood. Thanks for the link Christian. Hopefully, they still have the car.
