Suggestions on what to buy
I am looking at a few different options here, im looking at 2004 and 2007 cars. I am wondering if these might be some good deals...
2007 RX-8 10k miles-$17,000-MT
2004 RX-8 21k miles-$13,500-AT
2004 RX-8 12k miles-$16,000-MT
all seem to be in very good shape and taken care of well.

Where are you located? The price on the 04' is about 1500 too high if it is real, really clean. And obviously those prices depend on model (GT, Touring, Sport, Base, Automatic, etc.)

DSC is Dynamic Stability Control.
A sport can have DSC, it's an option. It actually doesn't help much in the snow, I had to turn it off this morning to get out of my driveway (it cuts throttle when the wheels start to spin).
I'd get the '07 if I were you, only 1k more than the '04 MT and the '07s have the bugs worked out for the first series. You don't want the '04 AT, trust me.

Well, not all of the bugs have been worked out (tail light condensation, MIAC, visors, glove box rattle, etc.). You still need to premix the fuel, and change the oil religiously to help your engine last. But yes, many things have been addressed. If you can afford a 09' sport (about 22k) get that because the 09's have the Series II Renesis which appears to have all of the mechanical fixes needed to eliminate the engine problems.
You are aware of the engine problems right?

The only thing I want to point out (I am sure 9krpmrx8 will cover the rest) is to stay away from the automatic. You will not enjoy the renesis! Get a manual and rev up to 9000 rpms. Further, the automatic seems to be more sensitive than the manual. They also have less hp.
+1 on the 07 option!

"I wanna go fast!"
07...
And DSC helps in the snow... but to a point. I usually play with it back and forth depending on the conditions. Its good to have the option. It does help in the rain though.
