Hey all, looking at getting my first 8 soon. Was looking around and I saw this one.

2004 mazda rx8

What's with the hole in the front? is it just severe cosmetic damage?

It is an aftermarket front bumper that was designed that way. The bumper looks to fit pretty badly too around the right headlight and fender.

Didn't think about that. Now that you mention it, it does look a little bad compared to the stock.

don't ever think of buying any used RX8 without a compression test of the engine, especially a 10 year old 2004 model.

Yes, even if you have to pay for it, losing ~$200 is better than wasting $7k any day
