05 Shinka, 67k miles, $11.5k.. good?

Hey all, first off, I'm new here and am thinking of getting an rx8

There's a 05 Shinka, manual with 67k miles on it that I'm looking at. Its being listed for $11,500. Everything seems to be working well and kept clean. Oh, the owner also mentioned that they just replaced the clutch.

What do you guys think? Is it a good deal for the price?

Call a Mazda Dealer and have them run the VIN to check that all TCBs have been done and ask for a compression check...

Congrats on the car.... we want pics...
