170K ?

it better cost around 4-5 K, cuz u will spend about another 4-5K to replace the engine

not saying it will blow, but any car (not just rotary, jeeze) with 170K something miles should replace the engine, or it's about time.

and yes, read the noobs thread first, GOD.

It does show you've been reading in the 1 month you've been a member.


You should post in the introduction thread with pictures of your ride.

I officially request that we make sd1611 "Good Newbie of the Month".

I'll send him a bag of Cheetos, unless he prefers Doritos.

How much?

Anyway, you need an engine compression test, and is it an original or reman engine?

I'd be very wary of buying a car with that many miles, regardless of the make. You can find good deals of 05 RX-8s with less than 50k for around 10k. Just be patient, and wait. Both times I've gotten one I looked for a few months before finding one that fit.
