Looking at 04 Rx8

Hey, I can't decide on this rx8 for sale.

Its a 04 sport, which sounds like the base model. has 73000 on it, and 30,000 on engine.

Has tinted windows, new fuzion zri tires, 18" wheels, sport suspension(dont all rx8's have some kind of sport suspension?), 6 speed.

Has a bit of damage on pass rear wheel well, not very noticeable.

When I first hit in the clutch, the idle dropped and did seem a bit rough. Is that normal for these?

If i think of anything else, I'll let you know, he wants 8900 for it.

oh, the pass. tail has that condensation problem. From what I've read that seems quite common on these.

yup, mine is full of fluid. I call it blinker fluid

I can't help further because my 04 is an AT.

I'd pass on 04s in general. Is it manual? What is price? I would avoid Auto like the plague.

All manual transmissions came with sport suspension. Clutch issue is not normal. Do some searching on the trim levels - should help. Come back with specific questions or you'll get flamed.

Uh, manual and 8900 lol.

Thanks for your opinion. I think I'm going to pass on it, and wait until I can get a newer model.

These things seem to go through motors quite quickly, hopefully they get that straightened out in the newer models.
