:Just purchased my titanium RX8 manual a couple weeks ago in Houston. I did my homework, and I usually don't make many friends when I buy new cars...I didn't get any options. I think the car is just fine the way it is in base form...I got it for $1,700 off sticker...If they had one with the sports package I might have considered it...but for 25,500. I can't complain. The salesman didn't have a smile on his face when I drove off..

Good for you, GS. I don't know anyone whose car salesman is attending their Christmas parties, so don't sweat it. I keep it from being an adversarial relationship by doing the deal over the telephone and keeping it very cut-and-dried. Enjoy your ride!

I also got a 6MT base model...... I just wanted the 8's pure soul without any options

whoa... dat's so hardcore.

normally thats how we (me and my family) buy cars to...until just recently when we bought the 04 8 and an 04 expedition EB in the same week (rx8 cash, expedition EB finance) i do though because i upgrade everything aftermarket. (seats, exhaust, all engine mods, etc)
