Okay guys I have two options here, I have a guy who's holding a rx-8 for me and he's offering it to me for 6000 here's his post

Wtt wts my Rx8
it has 130k miles on the car and 45k miles on the engine
Its manual 6 speed in good conditions
leather seats, loud exhaust
1.3L rotary engine
really fast. If you are interested text me

But I just saw another post for a rx8 with more mileage but $1500 cheaper. It's being sold for $4500 here's the post ( the only downside is that it has powersteering issues, which I read is common in 8's and "can" be a cheap fix/diy)

FOR SALE 2005 MAZDA RX8 6 SPEED MANUAL, CLEAN INSIDE AND OUT, GOOD CAR, RUNS LIKE A CHAMP, 105K, CLEAN TITLE ON HAND $4500 CASH


Now I currently have about 6200 saved so either choice is fine,and they both have the same options only difference really is miles. now i have a checkup/ compression test scheduled on the $6000 rx8 on Wednesday( the rotary performance shop is booked) as for the second one i cant schedule one since its booked until Wednesday (the same day as my other one)

The owner of the rx8 for 6000 has been holding the car for me for about a month, but he also recently re-posted his ad on classifieds. I don't really want to back out now( especially on the day of the test) but to me financial wise 4500 seems like kind of a steal for the other 8, so i just wanted opinions from you guys.

I'll call the rotary performance shop tomorrow to see if i can schedule one for Monday but i doubt it. does anyone know of any other rotary shops around Dallas, Tx that I could check into?

 

The 5 speed is most likely missing 40 horses that the 6 has. I'd go with the six 7 days a week and twice on Sunday!

 

Wait....... I thought in the us they only sold the 6 speed M/T for the 2005 models??? I think its a typo, but I'll verify with the owner.

 

^that, if that the case go with the first one, lower mileage, and sounds like its got a reman engine... but if you do decide to go with the other one, the Power steering issue is an easy fix most of the time (hoping its only a dirty connection).

 

I don't know where you are located but the 5speed 4port has never been sold in the US. It was only sold in EUDM and JDM markets IIRC

 

I am located In Dallas Tx


i just confirmed with the guy it is a 6SPEED Manual

 

I'd still rather have one with 45K on the engine rather than 105k. I'm just a dumb RX8 noob tho....

 

I'll say the one with the reman engine and the low mileage, and i think the price is a steal...
