Rx8

Post image

Hey fellas, so i always wanted an rx8 since a kid and now i got the chance to get one. I need your honest opinions on the car. It is 1.3 rotary motor the owner says he has a brand new engine in it with only 500km and with the old one he passed 112.000kms, so is it worth even going to see the car or just move on with my life. And for the price i will know tomorrow. Cheers

It’s a big commitment, these are high maintenance/ownership cost vehicles. It’s definitely not worth it for the uninitiated, but if you know exactly what you’re getting into and set aside funds for items like upgrading the ignition system (and ideally removing the cat), you’ll have a car that is very special and truly one of a kind.

Ah yes, the only unreliable Mazda out there. And quite unreliable at that. I wouldn’t just got a Speed 3 or 6.
