Mazda rx8 - Look at just how cheap these cars going for now !!- are they really that bad ??!! sometimes wonder how someone with such feedback can be advertsing a car on ebay and still atract 11 bids for it- check the feedback out for his last car sold !!

His Laguna was sold as spares or repair, faults were listed, what did the buyer expect !
Turbo fault, key card fault, no V5, buyer was stupid to buy in the first place.

So despite the feedback you would be happy to place a bid on this car then ??!! appreciatte there are normally two sides to a story but personally alarms bells would be ringing anyway !!

anyway back to the actual rx8 car- just how bad must they actually be to be almost given away ??

Stay away, there not good, lot's of issues unless you get a 07 + model.
the 190 bhp model only puts out about 150 bhp
and the 231 model only puts out 180.

Okay thanks yep must admitt was not seriously thinking off buying one just having the usual browse around ebay when I noticed how cheap they were going for, just seems so much car for so little money but personally dont know anyone who holds on to them for any length off time once bought !!

231 model at 180 bhp puts out 51bhp less than it should, is this what you mean ??

very expensive to fix too from main dealers, parts not cheap and get lots of faults

I know someone with one a few years old failed its mot and is almost not worth spending the money getting it fixed (if through main dealer) cat gone etc

I remember years ago selling a car with 125k miles on it 10 years old for about 300 quid less than they were selling for and everyone who was interested complained about the mileage, what the foof did they expect for an old car and the mileage was stated in the advert

There`s an RX8 for sale local to me in Peterhead... Like a Gunmetal grey colour, 10mths MoT, 5mths tax.. £1900...... It actually `looks` like a cracking car.

I don`t know much about RX`s... But seems to be a slump in value, just like Scooby`s have been having.....
