Too Many miles?
Hey im looking to buy this 2004 for rx8 for about $8000 but it has about 125000 miles on it. I was wondering if that was too many for a rx8? If its still gonna run for a while? and if its worth it?
|
Original engine?
Maintenance history? Carfax? |
on to the next one
|
Yeah, keep looking.
|
I personally wouldn't buy one beyond the 8 yr/100k mile drivetrain warranty unless you plan it to be a project car.
|
The pre-09's had a messed-up seal lubrication system that let the centers of the apex seals run dry from time to time. I wouldn't buy any 04-08 that was out of warranty unless the owner said they always premixed oil into the gas.
|
all depends, if he had his engine replaced/rebuilt not to long ago then not bad, can probably negotiate on the price a little. If its all original then its probably not worth it,
|
I would keep looking for sure.

I think you got your answer. I would look for a 06 and newer. |
if hes considering the 8k car, chances are that he does not have the cash for an 06
|
^ Then maybe it wasn't meant to be.
As we all know the maintenance alone can burn a hole in the pocket. |
You can find an 03 s2000 with 100k+ miles for about 9k, just sayin

ok thanks guys. but what do u guys think about this 2004 rx8 for 10,900 with about 83k miles?

11k for an 04 with that kind of mileage is too high.
I bought an 05 a year ago with 51k and lots of mods for $12k. My suggestion is to keep looking. There are lots of good deals out there. Here's an example: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2005M...item1c12cf323b |
