Well after a really enjoyable 2hr drive home in the RX8 I’m well happy with my choice, I had to laugh that the garage with the PZ phoned me to say that the engine was in the need of a rebuild and this will affect the price (I tried to tell them it was).

Knowing that I’m on my way to collect my 40th anniversary edition I asked what the new price will be, £4500 due to the rebuild that is needed so it’s increased by a little over £1000.

Just out of interest do you guys think a PZ is worth £4.5k and it’s not perfect by all means and the OZ wheels are missing the centre caps, scratching to the paint work but drives solid although down on power?

This all being said I love my white 40th and can’t wait to start to put it back to how she came out the factory.

For a PZ to be worth £4500 currently it would have to ‘out the box’ in terms of condition and very low mileage. Personally, I think the rebuild they are doing, assuming it is a decent one, makes the car worth the £3.5k they wanted originally.
Congrats on your purchase , personally I would have a white 40th over a PZ any day of the week but of course everyone is different.

It’s definitely not worth the £4.5k with the condition it’s in, anyway thanks certainly love my 40th.

That first drive home is a revelation isn't it? I'm getting misty eyed about it and I've only had the car 11 months...

Congratulations, and good to hear you're taking her back to stock first, first thing you should do really, to appreciate the car "pure" before you put your own mark on it or decide that you don't need to.
