Which RX8?
I drove 3 hours to the dealership today for my appoinment to buy my 2005 RX8 and when i got there they said "sorry, we sold it yesterday". So, after finally calming down after being POed. I want to know everyones opinion. Should i go nowand buy a 2010 R3, or go with a 2005 Cherry Shinka. The price difference is 6k, please help with your exstensive knowledge pls. :wallbash:

Just posting some info to show that i'm not to much of a newb sauce. I've owned a RX2, 85 RX7, 87 RX7,91 RX7, 93 RX7. So i may have a slight case of rotary fever :)

Without knowing anything else other than a 2010 R3 or 2005 Shinka I'd say go with the R3. The extended warranty on the '05 will be up sometime this year, so it's a safer bet with the R3 in that regard. Plus, with the R3 you get sweet wheels and seats. Make sure to check out the stickies in each sub-forum as well.

Yeah, the warranty scares me on a 05, and the style of the R3 is so sweet. Thank you for your response :)
|
I like the aftermarket for the SI, but the engine on the SII is better, plus slightly better gearing.
|
If you seriously consider the 2005, get that compression test! You should still get it on the 09 anyway, but it's less of a concern.
|
R3 is my vote. Do you have any details about them though? It would help us provide better input.
|
Just get the R3, better motor would still have warranty, but do get compression checked out in any case.
|
R3 for me too. Newer and has more warranty leftover.
|
Mileage on each?
Assuming 12k miles per year for 8 years that Shinka sounds over priced. It should be under 12k with the R3 around 19k again depending on mileage and condition. |
I would agree and go with an R3, in addition to the wheels and seats a lot of the series 1 quirks were worked out, such as needing premix. Plus, imo, the series 2 styling is really nice without body work! Good luck on your purchase!
|
It's a no brainer... R3. Get a red one though, the blue ones are slow.
|
Just got an 09 r3 today that's been parked every winter with low miles for 16k (Canada) and I love it.... I'd vote r3
|
^Well lets see the car then, pics or it never happened
|
I'd have to go with the R3.
|
What are the asking prices and the mileage?
My 09 R3 was 16k, I'm just curious to know what they want for the 2010 R3 I would say but i'm biased. Recaro Seats>Everything Plus the warranty will give you peace of mind. Go for the compression test too. That way you'll have a benchmark for the engine condition to compare with as the car ages. |
