Need Help Deciding

been following this forum for quite some time, just that i registered a month ago
would need help from you more experienced forum members

looking at a 2nd hand black RX8
been looking at one particular car with the number plate SGK****
apparently the previous owner wanted to retain the old nmber plate
wondering was it previously owned by any forum member?
any body tried the car? any feed back is welcomed

hope i've not been too much of a bother

thanks in advanced

I saw the SGK**** rx-8 a while back. It looks good. High paper value makes it a value for money purchase. Last I saw it was over a month back. The agent warranty makes it even more tempting.

Can consider. 40k mileage over 2 years is quite ok. My current ride already hit 10k in 5 months.

the SGK plate was a recent addition iirc, previous owner wanted to retain the bidded number plate so got a new license plate for the car

the high paper value seems really attractive and will be seriously considering the car


just wondering was it previously owned by any brothers in this forum?

the one i got is quite ok, in fact it sounds great to me
the deciding point was probably when the sales guy started the engine
it sounded so good
could not resist
