Question Thinking about purchasing a second gen RX8
The car's a 2009 .... can you tell from the Vin # if it is a Sport, Grand Touring or R3 model?

Thanks!

I have a blue 2009 R3 if you're interested. Around 6,000 miles. I have 4 kids and never drive it. It just sits in the garage. It needs a good home with someone who has time to enjoy it.

Why did you buy it and never drove it? If you know you have 4 kids, then why get an rx8? You should get a van or an suv...

If I had 4 kids, I'd definitely get a car that could not hold all of them at once.

On that note the rest of the gallery can chime in offering to sell the OP something he is not seeking to buy.

Dude, he was not aware that he had 4 kids. He thought he had two, and then the other two just showed up one day after he bought the 8.
