So I just bought a 04 rx8 at copart auto auction today, and this will be my first rx8. It has 111k miles on it and starts up right away. Its a 6 speed and is blue. It has the black and blue leather interior. Its a touring package and I paid 2 grand because its salvage titled. It has some front suspension damaage and minor body damage. I have posted in the classified section to try and find parts... If youre parting a car out check out what im looking for and help me out lol!

Welcome!

vettedriver986 08-10-2011 09:43 PM

wont take that long. Ill have it driving in a week haha.

Roidz 08-10-2011 11:00 PM

A week? Good luck.

vettedriver986 08-10-2011 11:05 PM

hahaha, its just some bad control arms/struts/sway bar end links... If I can find one good wheel and all those parts it will be driveable... I found new radiator and ac condensors for around 100 each... so okay, if not a week, then 2 weeks... The fenders and front bumper will be easy to have painted and install myself. its not as bad as it looks. Probably why noone out bid me.. they were intimidated by the appearance. I got luck though.

monchie 08-10-2011 11:17 PM

It will be a project car for you then. Anyway, how much did you get it for?

vettedriver986 08-10-2011 11:18 PM

2 grand!

syntheticdarkness 08-10-2011 11:51 PM

welcome.

Best of luck.

Welcome aboard, looks like a good deal. Whoever did the interior did a good job as well. I would go to the nearest dealer and have them run the VIN to see if the engine has ever been replaced, etc.

Goozer 08-27-2011 01:38 PM
