New to the RX-8 but not to the forums. I currently have an 04 Toyota Tacoma and have kinda grown bored with it. I'm a member of TacomaWorld and have modded it some but I don't make it offroad anymore. Its not worth the crappy/noisy ride with offroad tires anymore and I'm looking for something different. I found a 2005 RX-8 Touring with 70000 miles and would love to buy it. What are the known issues for these cars and maintenance requirements? know thats a broad question but coming from a truck forum there are common issues everybody knows about

 

The first bit of advice I can offer is to search around.

Also, make sure you read the “stickies” in each sub-forum

People who prove to show laziness tend to get the flame-thrower pretty quickly. Don't be on the other end

 

I know this thread is a bit old, but from your username I'm guessing you're in the Clemson area. If so and if you're still looking at a RX8, shoot me a PM and I'll give you a hand.
