Hi all, I've been reading this forum for the last month, so I hope I wont ask any stupid newbie question.
Sold my other car, so now I want to get an rear wheel drive car for the first time.
I always liked the looks of an RX-8 so I started searching for one.
From the start I decided not to bother looking at the 192hp ones as I always want more power from any type of vehicle that I own.
So drove one 231hp that was regularly serviced with a low mileage, but the owner "failed" when answering the buyers guide questions for this forum.
The car had an "check engine" and the radiator light on. The owner claimed that the car barely consumes any oil, and that the gas mileage is excellent! :)
He said that the engine light is from the cat and probably the O2 sensor and he offered to change those on his expence which was nice, but the guy was pretty shady to me, so I suspect that he will change anything at all.
So walked away from that I now I want to get my friend RX8 which is immaculate.
Not a single scratch on it, has spend most of her live in a garage and has a really low mileage 45000km/28000miles on the clock.
Obviously its a lot more expensive, but definitively worth it.
The think is he insist that I buy some of the parts he has bought over thae past year for the car, but never got to fit them.
So I need advice are these parts worth fitting on the car if I do purchase it, or should I consider selling them to make up for the high purchase price.
He has Eibach springs, Fujitsubo cat back exhaust, ebay decat, Genuine engine mounts, OEM Navigation screen, K&N panel filter, some sort of air scoop for the OEM air-box.
The car is 2004 and was serviced last year with Genuine Mazda oil, NGK plugs and leads and OEM ignition coils.
The tires are still the ones that the car came with in 2004 :)
And the radiator light is on, my friend says that its only from dirt in the cooler canister and just need a good clean, but I guess this will need replacing.
Any advice is appreciated and sorry for the long thread.
Might post a few pics of it later.
