Wow, it sold for £15k. So even with 50% going to charity, they still made a profit. GG internet.

Spent 6.5 grand on a car, still hasn't polised his headlights

[Strider]

I think most RX8 were completely screwed by their first owners, the result of selling a rotary engined car to non-car people with more credit cards than sense.

Rest in peace fahad
And goodbye felix!!

[MrHReviews]

thats really, really nice to see, I hope the car goes for a lot, its not often you see big channels doing such good work for local communities and charity work etc.

[CutACrow]

Can we all just say that giving 50% of the money for the car to charity is really cool? Like c'mon they could've done 20% or something but no. CT is doing half of it for a great cause. That's truly awesome man.

[VaneNaumovski]

The door is still noticeable. That irritates me!

Rest in Peace Fahad, another fallen car enthusiast.

Next time on car throttle: "living with a wheelbarrow"

[heilraichu]

Living with a Alfa Romeo is a must soon.

[RoBoTNiKaa]

I'm sad now Felix is moving on but its for a good cause. I genuinely loved this series.

[paddydowney]

No. 4 - You also learned that Josh is a freaking legend!

[XbillabongjohnX]

It's not "living with a rotary" if you sell it after 60 days

I bought myself an 08 rx8 and this series is one of the main reasons I decide to get one. I always loved the car but seeing it on here pushed me to buy. Yeah, it’s got terrible fuel economy and has a lot of issues but I just see that as character and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. Thanks guys, love the series and love the channel!

Fahads loves ones I’m sorry for your loss. I have a daughter and I can’t imagine the pain of loosing her. From a helpless stranger thousands of miles away on Maui. My condolences to you.

[OofThatsNice]

Gotta say just about all of Alex's gripes with the 8 are specific to his. My 04' has cruise, Auto Windows, and the seat holds me perfectly. Cost me $4, 800 with less than 50, 000 miles

[val-jfhq]

Fahad was a reasonably close friend of mine, I went to his memorial at the beginning of January, he had so much life in him, r.i.p

[reidster]

Is there a donations link for those that don't wish to bid?

[TheMiataDriver]

That was a great serie to follow!

I'm surprised by the relatively low cost of the engine rebuild

[darkmask]

LOVE IT!!!!
I got the RX-8 R3 and some of your issues are fixed here: cruise control, one touch windows up/down, bucket seats.
Also RIP Little man
