I finally bought a new car...
Unfortunately, it's not the RX-8 I wanted.
I purchased a 2002 Acura RSX Type S.
19500 miles, loaded EVERYTHING, and I stole it for 18500.
Gonna plan on keeping this car for awhile...who know what will happen in the future? My RX-8 "poster" is still hanging up in my living room! :p

No offense, but I think that that price is way high. A brand new one has a MSRP of $23k and the only factory option is the color. I'm sure you could find a new one for cheaper than MSRP if you shopped around, they're not rare, and it's not a brand new model any more. So by getting a 2-3 year old car with 20k miles on it you're only saving around ~$4k or less? Doesn't sound like a very good deal to me. I know the resale value of Acuras is good but I don't think that it's quite that high....

The problem is really only minor. Clubrsx just likes to whine.
Its basically a grinding noise when shifting fast into seccond gear.
I know 2 people with typeS's neither has the problem.

Didn't want an 8, didn't want an RSX. My acquisition for the year was a Lotus Elise that will be here in June (keeping fingers crossed).
Not getting rid of the FD though.
