too high mileage.

ShinkaEvo 10-19-2011 05:56 PM

182k....if they are willing to duct the cost of replacing a new rotor+labor, witch would be around 5k?

RX8Soldier 10-19-2011 06:40 PM

regardless, that's still a lot of miles.
do you have the money/time/resources to replace a rotary engine?

monchie 10-21-2011 12:03 AM

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

ShinkaEvo 10-21-2011 01:07 AM

If you really want, just make sure u got extra 5k lying around...
It's your money, your ride, not ours.

Pass...mileage is too high...yur better off with the car u have now

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.

^ VERY sound advice!

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