Looking at Buying an 04 RX-8 GT?
I am looking at an 04 Grey GT that has 27,000 miles on it. I was just kind of wondering if any of you might have any info or things to know that might help me. I have never owned a Rotary Engine car. So is there any general suggestions or wisdom I should know? Thanks for the help.

Guys he is new behave.
Check out FAQ section it helped me alot when I first bought the car.
Quick tip, definatly get a carfax on your car and read it in detail. I didnt and now kicking myself partially. Also check your A/C and since its at 27k I'd attempt to have them do that 30k maintence now before you buy it. If your good at haggling I'm sure you can get it tossed in before you sign.
Oh also be forewarned. The sound of this engine is like a Sirens Song. If your not what that means.. you will once you hear it.

Not to mention the fact that prices can only go down because of this. The deals could get much sweeter very soon.

about the recall
From what I understand from the guy I spoke with this morning at the dealership the recall should only really affect the automatics. Does that not sound correct?
