Limited slip?
I am looking to buy a 2005 model RX-8 pretty soon and one thing has been bothering me - and my google/searching skills have been failing me.
How do I ensure that the car has a limited slip differential?
Does having a 6-speed automatically mean LSD?
I'd hate having an open diff...

What version is it? Try testdriving it on a wet road or on a road with a little gravel on it. The inside tire will want to keep up with the outside tire and jerk or make a little tire noise when turnning.

Either way, I drove it quite a bit in the rain these last couple of days and I can quite confidently say that it does in fact have an LSD. :D

Clean records dont mean anything; those reflect accidents reported to the insurance companies and police. In other words, if the previous owner backed into a pole and replaced his rear bumper on his own so his premiums wouldnt go up, there would be no record of it. BTW that rear bumper is DEF repainted. Not that it matters anyways if nothing else is messed up.
