Given the depreciation the RX-8 suffers, there's no way in hell I would buy one new. I'd wait at least 2-3 years before buying one. They're half off by then.

Add an option of just putting in new 16X Rotary in the 8.

my goal of a 200,000 mile RX-8 (on original motor) is not even halfway complete yet, so no.

By new RX if you mean totally revamped with the 16x DI then yeah.. Until the bugs are worked out..

I dont want to go through what I did when I first bought this car with all the recalls and horsepower issues.

I'll be keeping my 8, most likely picking up a luxury car next.

I don't know yet, I've talked to the dealer about it but it just depends on how much longer I'm in Germany.
