Hi I am new here

Post by Tomm »

Hi all,

Looking to take the plunge into RX-8 ownership, I have found the forum really useful with lots of useful tips here which I am reading through before buying.

I have previously owned a Mazda 6 and my wife is very keen on having another Mazda as a second car, we are currently running round in an Alfa 159 waggon as our main car and looking for a second car that and I have always like the ide of a RX-8.

Got my eye on this:

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2009-Mazda-R ... %7Ciid%3A1

But not 100% set on an R3 but it seems to be the one to go for if the budget will stretch, I might try some of the rotary specialists to see if they have anything for sale.

Cheers,

Tom

:welcome:


It's a well known seller in RX-8s and especially later special editions & R3's, and he's been selling good clean examples as far as I know, a lot of what he sells ends up in the hands of other members who are very happy with them, so definitely one to look at! :D

You may find others around at other rotary specialist shops, so worth a look still, but a thing to note with the R3s is that aftermarket and certain parts are harder to come by. I say it's definitely worth it, I own an R3 myself of course, but just a thing of note :)

Best of luck with the search, and good to see you popping up and posting! :thumleft:

That's a lovely looking R3 and being sold by a reputable RX8 specialist who knows these cars.

I seriously considered selling one of my RX8s to part fund this car...
