Garlic 1st Gear January 21, 2009 Author Share January 21, 2009 (edited) Taking their words with a pinch of salt. They claim vehicle was purchased at 62K in Aug '08 and has been sitting there ever since. Desperate to sell so as to cut losses. Anything to take note of when buying from second hand dealers? Thanks.

Protege 1st Gear January 21, 2009 Share January 21, 2009 Taking their words with a pinch of salt. They claim vehicle was purchased at 62K in Aug '08 and has been sitting there ever since. Desperate to sell so as to cut losses. Anything to take note of when buying from second hand dealers? Thanks. At below 6k depreciation, can buy and play for a while. But for a 4 year old "Sports Car", it might have taken a beating from previous owner and also during its time at the 2nd hand dealer, so must consider.

Blackreplica Neutral Newbie January 21, 2009 Share January 21, 2009 IMO i wouldnt touch it Interior low spec cloth seats. transmission is 4 speed auto for all models up to 2006. following auto versions had 6 speeders Mileage isnt disclosed so its probably high. and we all know how much high mileage, low spec sportscars are worth imo you money is better spent on a later model rx-8 with a proper 6 speed auto, leather interior and nicer wheels, with lower mileage. If constrained by budget, better to look at other cars. this one has 'lemon' written all over it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ldlian987 3rd Gear January 21, 2009 Share January 21, 2009 why dont get a manual rx-8 instead? i mean for sports cars like rx-8, manual then fun to drive mah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beachboys Clutched January 21, 2009 Share January 21, 2009 STA rating not accurate one, best is to bring to a specialist workshop to check (eg: Monster Garage specialises in rotary cars)~ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desnck Neutral Newbie January 21, 2009 Share January 21, 2009 STA rate B , sure accident before. need to consider Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyojin 1st Gear January 21, 2009 Share January 21, 2009 don't believe anything the dealer promise etc etc. best practice is to see the dealer as just a seller - not authorized distributor. buy already, beat backside, you do everything yourself outside. they can promise you the world, but often there are catches. must service at their workshop etc, meaning you are at their beck and call. recipe for things to turn ugly.

Ah_dude Neutral Newbie January 21, 2009 Share January 21, 2009 Yeah y not A but B?

Ah_benz Clutched January 22, 2009 Share January 22, 2009 hi bro. personally i think is this a better buy. http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.ph...033&DL=1130 JDM Spec manual. newer and cheaper, and is from Agent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Throttle2 Supersonic January 22, 2009 Share January 22, 2009 yes , thats right. B grading for STA is basically borderline pass. I wont buy this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackreplica Neutral Newbie January 22, 2009 Share January 22, 2009 (edited) ah_benz's recommendation is much better...2006 model, agent model and fully optioned with the two-toned leather interior, plus sunroof! and bigger rims too i think. Not to mention the brake upgrade but its probably aftermarket. mileage is very reasonable for its age at 30k+. For just a bit more money too. If it was agent maintained with records, and accident free...can huat...the only question mark is 2 owners Edited January 22, 2009 by Blackreplica Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
