A RX8 is OK new, but I wouldn't touch one used. Main reason is the oiling of the engine. Most people do not even change the oil on new cars talk about watch the level. Bottom line is if you buy a rx-8 or rx-7 and you plan on having it a while, put a motor replacement in your budget. The good thing is the motors are cheep.

Look at an E39, its four door, but still sporty. This is my daily driver. You can pick E39's 540's with the V-8 around your budget. The maintenance is very low.
