If it was as simple as the starter motor (it either works or it doesn't) he'd fix it. It isn't. Sorry.
That's what I thought but reading up on it it's not as clear cut as "it either works or it doesn't""

I can't see me losing money on this! If I get it compression tested that will tell me instantly if it's engine or starter

Even allowing for this example going down like a bomber over Berlin is there any underlying reason why the RX8 in general seems to be so cheap?
I assumed by previous owners that ment how many it had been registered since new!
People simply don't want to buy them, they cost too much to run and have too many issues keeping them running.
This one for 2k seems like a bad idea, you could have got a full running one for 3.5k, does the 2005 fall into the higher taxband too? If so LOL!
This one for £2k seems like it would have to go on a career development course to even aspire to be a "bad idea".
However it just seems to me that even given that the RX-8 is an expensive car to run they do seem very cheap for the person who accepts the running costs?
Like 2k to sort the starting issue out? You never ever buy an RX8 regardless of it's age or service history without doing a compression check on the engine.In some respects if you like how the engine drives it's a good car if you only do 5k - 10k a year.
Or lets switch the question - what type of person/budget warrents an Rx-8?

Thats about it.
