No more rx7 but got lucky on an rx8!
« on: July 09, 2012, 01:07:50 AM »
Well Ive had a 79 rx7 and an 86 GXL which I still have actually but my parents and I were looking around for a college car for me and I teased them to look for an Rx8 because I love rotaries :D. we found one local but It was a 06 base model and I like to stand out and they wanted 20,000 for it... (BOLOGNA) so anyway we were looking around and found a 2011 R3 rx8 for 21,000 with 273 miles on it and we were just like ok WTF?

turns out it was a salvage vehicle that was stolen from the factory with 2 miles on it and they drove it 8 miles and took the wheels and seats from the vehicle... everything else was brand new in it still. there was replacement seats (Still Recaro) and some 19 inch Falken wheels (that I dont really like).

that be my story... dont hate, appreciate
