I am getting ready to buy a 2009 RX-8 with almost 92K on the clock. It is fairly clean with a very nice interior and just a few cases of "Hanger Rash" but no accidents.

Is the 100K warranty transferable to second and third owners?

What should I look for to see if the engine is in good shape?

I notice that even after warming up it still idles with a bit of a vibration. Is this just because its a high power engine or just because its a Wankel? Its not bad, but I notice it when I look in the rear view mirror and see the vibration in the reflection.

Is 92K too much for a used RX-8? the price is about $12K

You a member of rx8club.com? Just curious ... 2009 with 92k .. That's alot of miles .. Mine is an 04 and I am just now getting over 90k ... 12k seems a bit steep for what they are offering, with so many miles on it. Id suggest you head over to the classified sections of this forum and rx8 club to find a better deal... There is a guy selling a clean boosted 8 for about 8k.. Has all the Bells and whistles for 4k less.. If you insist on purchasing this one, go for a compression test. At the dealership it cost about $120. That will tell you your engine health .. I still think its too much..

Yeah, that is what I was thinking. I will check out that other site you mentioned, rx8club.com

Thanks for the comments.

I like this car because my wife ALSO likes it and she thinks her little old lady friends will have an easier time getting into the back seat.

Thanks for the comments and suggestions. You guys are encouraging


I went to the RX8Club.com and received a "warm welcome" so I came running back here with my tail between my legs.
