RX8...am i missing something here??? why so cheap

ok been looking at new er cars again and after going through all the usuals on autotrader nissan honda toyota vw (still want a beetle) i had a wee look in the mazda section....was lookin at mx5s then happened to look at rx7s...slipped and brought rx8s up


3,5k for a 231 bhp 04 reg

WTF??

and there were loads around the same price

what am i missing??

(apart from about £900)

It's because they are ugly and gay lol. It's maintenance and running costs mate don't expect to ever see over 20mpg, your never supposed to simply nip around in them the engines need fully warming up before switching back off or it can damage them, they burn oil a plenty and require loads of specialist fluids for the wankel engine. My uncle has one and they arent particularly fast for the power output I reckon most b series hondas would sit with them. On the plus side they do sound nice, have a nice interior and handle well and are rwd

yeah they're hefty, i've had a few in the lude...
but if you can afford the running costs, not a bad motor for the price... if you dont think they're ugly as sin

most of this comment fails. my rather tuned fd got over 25mpg on a regular occurrence, they burn oil if you put shit oil and 95 ron in the tank....they are ugly though, this much is true.
btw whats this specialist oil you say they take?

catch andy bumpin this actin foolish..
