New guy...buying advice 04 RX8 Got some questions






Hi guys

There is an 04 RX8 with 102k miles. It is in blue and is a 6spd grand touring ed.

It was a trade in at a dealer and it will cost me 2500 to procure.

I realize the issues and special care the RX8/Renisis take, I have done my research, I just need some convincing to buy or not to buy.

ALright, NO service records on this car. (how could I get dealer service records?)

Likely on it's 2nd engine, unknown when replaced cuz I have no idea when it was replaced.

Needs a T/O bearing (clutch would come with that) but for me thats no big deal.

Starts cold a little slow.

Starts hot a little slow. Not slower than starting cold, however. I have videos of starting both hot and cold.

*Please excuse the grab butt, I was checking out the car while filming.

Here are photos of the car.









Would love your thoughts, and expert advice. Is it worth the risk?

Thanks!
