Hi everyone, I'm in the market for a used RX8 (i've read the awesome stickies and various other threads posted here and i'm ready for the plunge). I've been focusing on a pearl white 8 but I've been having trouble finding a decent one for sale. I have come across 2 separate 8's for sale though:

1: Red, 2004, GT, 47000KM, $11300
2: White, 2007, NOT GT (from what i can tell), 90000KM, $11000

This brings me to a conundrum in which #2 is a nice white color and is newer year but has higher KM where as the other 8 is red but has really low KM. In this scenario, what is recommended? Lower KMs outweigh aesthetics? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

2 lines of thought:

1) You can change the engine easier than you can change the color of the car

2) Aesthetics aren't tangible

Good luck



(imo, hold out for a lower mileage white one!)

 

Either would be fine.

I'm just under 55,000 KM with a 2004. Not a single problem.

 

Don't forget the compression test...

 

Go for the 2007 as it still has warranty

 

RIWWP: Some good points! I was thinking the same thing but this is a tough call. I had an 07 white GT in my grasp about a month ago, unfortunately someone offered ~1k more than me and got it. Ah well!

Monchie: Of course! Compression test is mandatory in my books!

Allaboutmoney: It is? Can you please explain?

 

8 year 160.000 km power train warranty with suporting oil change reciepts from what I understand. And comes with upgraded starter.
