Thanks for all the useful information, I don't know either why he would change for an RX-8 but he is an asian guy in his sixties so take that as you will, regarding the buying price he made it semi-clear to me that he planned to give it to me (or give me a loan on it) as a wedding gift but I was trying to tell him that there's no way in hell I'd keep it in good condition because of the cost of ownership. You're talking about 25k engine change, that's what I make in a year. It's a fine car tho and probably the last porsche I like but yeah I think I'll pass.
