Don't do it! Find another one with less miles for sure.

112,000 miles is still a lot, albeit better than the previous car you mentioned.

Looking through Cinci's CL, there seem to be a number of RX-8's in your price range with less miles.

Okay, stop right there...

If you have tight finances, you SHOULD NOT buy a used RX-8 with this kind of mileage, from a dealer or not. You are setting yourself up for potential financial troubles if you do.

A 100k+ mile car can potentially have a lot of expenses in its future.
A 100k+ mile SPORTS CAR DOES have a lot of expenses in its near term future.

Skip the RX-8 until you can afford it in the future.
Your wallet will thank you in time.

Stay patient, you definitely want to stay away from any 8's with that high of mileage.
