how about this one... http://www.japan-partner.com/Auto/10...-for-sale.html
this car keeps coming up for sale for many years. needs retrimming of the interior and debadging to regain some credibility. not sure if it is because it changed hands many times over or just remained unsold?

i don't know enough about the bodywork. what little i can tell is that it has the wider gtr rear fenders, but i don't know if it's fiberglass or steel. as for the front fenders... i don't know if those are just fender caps on top to make it look like a z-tune? but the combination of that with the side vents don't work for me

I recognize an EG with low mileage is hard to find but a rusty shell at $3500 is a good deal?

It's a pretty rare special edition. Not sure if you conpletly missed that. They are a cool underrated daily commuter. And yes, it's pricey. But as a super MPG project car that could be pretty cool

I rarely see RX-8 on the street now. I suppose they have mostly disappeared off the face of the earth.

The best RX-8 deals are cheap ones, with the motors already blown, ready to swap something better.

I think a high school classmate of mine had one and it didn't even have a clock. I asked why and he said, "My parents said I would be too spoiled, but for some reason, they still bought me the car."

The VX is an awesome car. I purchased mine last year and have sold it to a good friend. They are extremely rare, in fact I've only seen 2 ads on Craigslist all year for one.
The CX base model is a good alternative, it's more common to find and it saves a lot of gas too. I wouldn't pay the steep premium for a VX. The only thing I liked about it are the 9lb forged 13" wheels

True. But I'd rather pay a little more for a unique car that has a story, and one I can enjoy on another level than just the basest of base civics cuz it's cheaper
