Hiya, New Forum member here.

Hoping to be a new owner soon, but that will, in part, be up to you guys - i'll be asking advice in the relevant area of the forum (hopefully!) :D

Anyway, Hi everybody! :D :D

Hi and :welcome: spb2002. :D It looks like you've had plenty of good advice in your other thread already ... if/when you do get one I have a short list of tips for keeping it healthy and running sweet that I'll post up for you (or just check most of the other 'hello' threads and you'll find them ;) ).

Did you read the Buyers Guide? https://www.rx8ownersclub.co.uk/forum/v ... 25&t=24047

If you're into reading then take a look at this thread...
https://www.rx8ownersclub.co.uk/forum/v ... =6&t=78199
It covers (some of) what you may or may not want to do to the car when you've bought it, or what someone may have already done to a car you're considering buying.

Welcome Mr. SPB2002!
You reached probably one of the most friendly and helpful forums in UK in general. (:

Owning an RX-8 is a must at least once in your life. You're heading for some great times if you do your homework right.

What's your current car you're trying to sell?
Current: 2010 Black Abarth 500 Esseesse; Sabelt Seats, EBC Brakes; Ulter stainless steel exhaust; BMC air intake.

Ex: 2004 Velocity Red S1; RRP Coil Pack & MSD Leads, Mishimoto oil catch can & magnetic drain plug, Cobra rear exhaust; Motul 6100 + Motul 710; Autobot Drift figure on the dashboard 8)

Cheers Rosty! I can't wait... I've never owned or driven a rear wheel drive car before either, so that's something i'm looking forward to! :D

I'm selling my Mondeo.... Probably asking the high end, tbh.. particularly with it having a minor fault (which i'm looking into fixing as we speak). It'll sell, it's just taking its time I guess. Its this one; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/123870560573

Nice and clean pictures, quite fair price for a car that is in good mechanical condition (putting that odd EML aside), it looks like an honest advert to me, so you shouldn't face any major problems selling it. But be ready to drop a few (s)quid :D to sell it, because that's how it usually works. (:

Good luck with the sale. (:

Cheers Bud! I put it a little higher to allow for being knocked down to be fair. I've had a couple of offers but both were silly offers so I've had to decline. Hopefully it'll go soon enough though! :)
