I just purchased a used 2010 RX-8 Sport with 2,000 miles for $19,000.
Did I do OK?

Wow, that was a great price indeed. Congrats on your purchase! Remember, pics or it didn't happen

At times I wonder if all these stories about great prices are actually true, LOL. When I was in the market for months I never found those "super mega deals" some people brag about here on the forum.

Maybe I just have bad luck!

Enjoy your new ride!!

ha, ha, I got lazy at the end!

But in reality I looked across the country when was shopping for an 8. I was receiving e-mail alerts from several car search websites on a daily basis for months. In fact, I remember finding a 2009 R3 with 3K miles for a very good price in McKinney, TX (not sure if that's the exact name of the town). Anyway, being all the way in NY killed the deal. Whatever real savings on the sale price would have quickly dissipated after adding traveling costs and taxes (taxes where I live in NY are close to 9%) Same thing with many other deals in states hundreds of miles away from me.

So eventually I gave up on trying to find those "mega deals" far away and narrowed my search to more reasonable distances, until I found the one I bought which was "reasonably" priced according to NY standards, lol.

But the OP got a really good deal on that car!!!!

Hi. I just bought RX 8 2004 and joined RX 8 club. I have big problem getting it registered
here in Finland because the EPA- sticker is missing. Would someone help and take a good
picture of the sticker. It has to be year model 2004.
It´s a super car and it was first sold in Florida and on 2007 to europe.
I wrilly need that photo !!!
You can send it to me also to my e-mail timo.kaalikoski@lagerholmfinnsauna.com

Many thanks
Timo

Why would you need a United States EPA (Environmental Protection Agency funded by the US government for US only purposes, http://www.epa.gov/) sticker in Finland?

And I can't believe that "taking a picture" of one will work for either your registry needs or manufacture of a substitute. They are pretty specific to the individual cars.

Wrilly, thats the way it is here in Finland. Car is now changed to fullfill Finnish registration
demands ( rear fog light, head light washers and so on).
I have been in the registration office and now i have to show them at least a photo
of 2004 rx 8 emission sticker and i get it registered.

We get fog. I would give up beer for a month to have the Mazda OEM rear fog light.
