No advisable to go for one these days. The market for Rx8s has seen a huge fall recently owing to almost zero demand due to the notoriety of the car itself.

But if you're interested, then the fair price would be around 1 million at max, as it needs lots of time and money to bring it back to a proper running condition. doesn't matter if it is 2003 or 2009. ruined engine means it is not an Rx-8 anymore. You might as well swap an engine in a ke-73 or a datsun 120Y and enjoy the same power at a fraction of the price.

That is what the market is, he's not asking an unreasonable amount.

BTW if you decide to buy it, make sure you do the swap in lahore from an experienced mechanic, since i've personally driven a lot of Rx8s having handling issues after a swap.

If you have enough technical knowledge,expertise,time,money,and ways to source new genuine parts, Go for a rebuild as it will yield much better result. Swapping in another used rotary isnt a logical solution. Swapping in some different engine destroys its real charm.
