Hello everyone,

First post on this forum. I've driven a 1992 Honda Accord for the past seven years (check it out here if you care http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=59213), but finally decided to get a newish car. I was considering several cars, Civic SI's, S2000's, and Nissan Z (as you can see I wasn't looking for a particular type of car, i.e., coupe or roadster, just a performance-oriented vehicle). I finally decided on and purchased a 2007 Rx-8 this weekend, here are some pics from the dealer's site (they might get taken down when they delist the car).

I paid $15,000 for it, its a 2007 RX-8 Sports 6 speed with about 43K miles. How do you think I did on price?

I guess you did alright (although I think $15k for a sport with 43k miles is a little high.. But, not tooooo high :) )

Welcome to the club (and the addiction ;) )

not bad, looks really clean. Congrats, i hope you love it! :wavey:

welcome to the club and do your research because this is nothing like your accord.

hope you don't fall victim to the Silver curse :scared:

Enjoy! And welcome.

I got my 2007 Sport early 2008. The car had 8,000 miles on the clock. Paid $21,000 for it.

15, as was said, seems a slight bit high, but you didn't get completely raped so that's good :)

hope you don't fall victim to the Silver curse :scared:

Enjoy! And welcome.

What's the silver curse?

What's the silver course?

Dunno, had mine for coming up on 4 years now with no issues. Oil changes every 3k, tranny and rear diff as required, new plugs/coils wires as recommended. Also a healthy dose of running it in the red as needed to put a smile on my face. Congrats on the buy! :ylsuper:

Yeah.

Hey, I'm looking into getting an RX-8, are there any pointers you could give me. What to look for and how to make sure everything is in tip top shape

My best tip would be to search as its been covered a billion times.

Yeah.

The Parts car that I bought to do my beetle project was silver! That's crazy or just a coincidence.
