RX-8's with a lot of miles..

It's not often that I find one with low miles at a reasonable price. All the ones are about at 80k-95k on the odometer. Is this a good idea, I've seen people buying them with high mileage, but I just don't know the reliability of the car with that many miles, unlike those of you who own them.

Rotarys can last a lot of miles. but buying one with over 80k miles on it is a gamble. Unless you know how it was previously maintained and driven i wouldnt go that route.

If you're concerned about warranty, find a low mileage.

If warranty isn't an issue for you, then just make sure that there is good compression in the engine.

It all depends. High mileage with a reman is okay. High mileage with a original engine is a gamble. If you could only afford the high mileages, then make sure the compression test is good. Good luck with your search.

Yeah, I'm not really concerned about the warranty. I believe I'm going to wait until May to purchase, since it's my birthday (;D) and there will be more choices by then. Not really impressed by what I've seen, besides the R3s, but of course I can't afford those haha.
