Hi I Want to get a RX8 ive saved the pennies for a decent condition one ive read up most of the things about the rx8 but need a little advice on what to look for when going to buy/look at one mechanically wise dont want to buy one and have to get a new engine in a month of having it (if they do need rebuilding every certain miles)

 

The only way to guarantee that is by getting a compression test before you buy it. If that can't be done then don't buy.

Welcome!

You should find all you need to know about looking for a good one in there including the importance of getting a compression test to ascertain the viability of the engine.

 

^^ once you get those compression numbers, post them here and we all can help you interpret them with the very useful chart posted by RIWWP in the new and potential owners thread.
