Ohio is a salt state... Just sayin. Speed knows about my rustphobia, and I'm sure would tell you (in a polite way, because he's a nice guy) that I'm nuts. I see a few red flags, but only a few, and one is difficult to tell if it's red or just a reflection of my red shirt in the looking glass. I'd ask the seller for closeup shots of the brake rotors and as much of the suspension as you can get (where the red possible reflection was), and try to get some photos up on a lift. It does look pretty good if you like red and everything checks out.

also I thought the black BaT rx8 was a GT but it’s a Sport. So my bad. For any car from a salt area. An engine bay shot without the cover gives a lot of info as well. Very hard to hide the rust in that area. |
Don’t forget to add the 5% plus shipping costs when you’re thinking of the Red R3 from Ohio. The Blue R3 in SoCal isn’t that much more expensive and a California car. Meaning no salt or rust.

then the front bumper damage was a deal breaker too. So hard to find one when u r actually in the market for it. |
There is one 40th anni in socal, low miles, but they wouldnt come down on the price. I offered 20k and they rudely refused it so sad, since i do value this car so much, was my 1st real car, tought me how to really be a good driver haha.

Thats cool and all you got an rx8. But I find this comment a jerky move when the OP was also going for the same car. IMHO I’d have started a separate thread sharing your purchase. Rather than rubbing in in the face of another perspective buyer. |

My apologies, I didn’t mean to come off like that I just happened to get back on here after 15 years and logged back in and everything and I stumbled across this post. I can see how it could come off that way. |

Damn, i was waiting til the last minute to bid on but kept see it going up. If it was within 500 miles from me I would have bid upward 18k 19k, but in OH i gotta include the shipping charge.
all good bro, wasnt meant to be just like the other r3 in socal. I found a 40th anni locally, gonna meet him up tomorrow. |
