    Got to say i have really taken a shine to these cars, in particular this one:D
    I know they drink petrol and have the rotary engine, other than that im still researching. What are thoughts on the one below? overpriced? looks clean.

    I only know a small bit about them but yeah that one does look a bit over priced compared to the other ones on donedeal (or maybe the other ones are just crap). It is a bit newer though, is the 231bhp model and has just had a compression test done, so that would give it an advantage over some of the others.

    I did see this one the other day though:

    https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/mazda-rx-8-2004-with-only-70-000-miles/9932644

    It's from a dealer but it's 3 years older and it has the same mileage and it says a new engine was just fitted. If that actually means the engine has been rebuilt, it might be worth a look. It doesn't say if it is the 231 or 192 though so that could be worth asking about as well.

    If you have 7K to spend on a clean one, I'd give that one a go
    http://irishrotary.com/forum/index.php?/topic/10230-mazda-rx-8-pz-for-sale-200725k-milesblack/

    The price is a bit on the optimistic side but if he really knows the market and how much 8s are going for, he shouldn't ignore your offer.

    Do your research though, lots of info on this forum on what to look for, maintenance, etc.

    Best of luck, I've owned one for 2.5 years btw and loved it :)
