Ok, I think i know what to look for in general, i'm familar with all the needed recalls and updates, but is there any other not obvious issues to consider when looking at one used. I'm starting to see a few with about 10K miles on them, and it would be nice to get one at a discount so that when I sell my 6 I can match depreciation. Most of these were dealer/exec cars from what I can tell.

 

at 10K miles I'd make sure the tires were in good shape and have been rotated, etc. Check the Metal RX-8 emblem things on the driver and passenger door sill. Mine started to come lose around 7k miles. An easy fix, and I'm being pretty nitpicky, but I think if you already know about the recalls and PCM updates you'll be in good shape.

 

I would advise to stay away from the dealer cars as I sure they probably have hard demo miles on them and have not been broken in properly.
