looking at this car i just wanna have it .... an awesome paint job, special edition, sunroof , vvti single turbo mated to w58 tranny (much better than mating it to mazda tranny) , working traction control ... regarding repaint it should not be a problem as rx8 body is of aluminum so once it is accidented it could not be dented so one can safely say that this car is in good nick... yeah and turning on the ac is hardly a single day job (done from the right person and provided that the vents inside are alright) .... so best of luck and hope it finds a caring owner.
