Suggestions on which to buy??
I am looking to buy an RX-8 and I have come down to a few options...
2007 RX-8 sport-10k miles-$17,000
2004 RX-8 sport-12k miles-$16,000
2004 RX-8 sport-21k miles-$13,500
2005 RX-8 touring-40k miles-$9,000
Are any of these great deals or should I keep looking?
I'm looking for one that will last me a really long time.
They all seem to be in great shape.
The 2005 RX-8, however, has something worrying me...there were 2 owners previously and the last owner only had it for 7 months and put another 10k miles on it. Should I be worried about this?
Suggestions on all would be great thanks

the 05 is a hell of a deal
the 07 will still be in warranty for another year and 10 months.
The 07 will obviously run best/ most reliable.
I have an 04, not too many problems. I have an extended warranty on it so I'm not worried
I had an 05, it had 53k miles
The one problem I've seen in 05's is the taillights, one wire harness is better wired than the other so one taillight comes out brighter than the other. Easy fix, but still usually required. the 07's also tend to have less problems since the car has been in production longer.. obviously.
Anyways... I would personally choose the 07 unless you had a budget in which you wanted to buy mods as fast as possible.. and had a list.
Then go with the 05 and buy whatever you need.
Just my 2 cents.

I have an 05 with 33k miles on it, and have no problems with it except for the moisture in the rear taillight which is an easy fix....I've had no issues with starters, the motor, sparks or coils....I think a lot of us are in the same boat here....I think it really depends if the past owners took care of it, etc....take the ones you're interested in to a mechanic you trust and for $50 or so, you can get a run down of what needs to be done....
