lynux3 2,078 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 What an odd design. Never actually looked into it. That motor's internals are all kinds of fucked up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Subbies have been known for having their boxer line of engines. They were like Mazda with the rotary engines although they already stopped doing that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was actually a brief fan of the RX8 until I learned more about the problems that came with the motor. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would always pick the RX7 FC as a starter car and was this close to getting an actual old FC for like five grand (this was like 15 years ago) till I found out rotaries are a fucking nightmare for mechanics to work with.

Only time I "owned" an RX8 was in Need for Speed Underground 2. It was pretty awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Never liked the RX8 though. It was too bulky and actually slower than the RX7. Around the time all Japanese companies were downgrading their cars. Mitsubishi did the same with their Eclipse line.

JonDnD 2,626 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Doubt its in the condition to get max kbb value . Most cars never are and it tells you the percentage that is on the site . Like next to none. Wasn't gonna bother haggling when they gave me 3 grand off the subaru and 0.9 apr I could have sold it outright and got a lot more sure but that's not worth the hassle for a couple grand. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
