Hello to all bros & sis here. Newbie here. My OC and I are planning to buy a 2nd ride in the months to come and Rx8 has been in our minds. I'm here to learn from all of u now and at the same time, consolidating our funds and hopefully we are financially viable to own an 8 by Dec

Before i commit one, can any bros share wif me what is the advantage and disadvantage from getting an 8 from PI and MM?

thanks in advance!

 

OC = officer in command???

 

haha! aka wife

 

MM = safe but expensive

PI = be careful. Look out for yourself. 20% get good deal. 80% kanna chopped.

 

^^ Agreed.

PI-wise, Garage R is quite safe (I bought from them), but their 1-yr-only warranty is a bit of a gamble for this car....MM is 3 yrs.

 

I agree with Rumboo. I ordered mine from GR as well. 1 batch behind Rumboo. Waitin for mine to reach S'pore.

GR is safe.

 

go to the meetup on friday to learn more abt the car..... dun worry, everyone is frenly.

 

Do we have figures of how many 8s we have currently in Singapore??

 

Dunno but it seems like lots --- its the Nissan Sunny or toyota Vios of sportscars nowadays.

 

annanias, getting mine from mm. should be arriving in sep/oct. so if you need to find out more about getting thru mm, pm me, i'l be glad to assist.

gr or mm, both have pros and cons. i did a lot of research on this website and consulted before deciding. very useful info and helpful folks here.

gd luck.

 

Hi annanias,

I am also planning to get one year-end to beginning next year,
was at GR today. was told waiting time about 4mths, so if wanna get year end, have to book soon..hehe

am thinking about the 6AT base or 6AT Type E,
wanna order together? maybe can get a slightly better package...hehe

 

Hi There... do you intend to mod and "play" with your car? If so, I would highly recommend you to get a MT instead.. If not, then just enjoy the cruise and dont bother going fast, cos the torque is really quite lacking at the low end.

 

bro, what's the difference between the base & type E?

 

Need deep pockets to mod leh. The car will be driven by my wife in most time. So u kno woman prefer auto one. So stay stock & save money lor

 

thanks bro

 

thanks to all u guys out here! U bunch r really nice! it's my pleasure to attend a meetup one day

 

Type E model : (1) Leather seats original from japan, (2) Electric Seats (driver side only), (3) Sun roof, (4) DSC + LSD (5) Bose Audio systems, (6) Cruise Control

Base model : None of the above ....

Above information were based on specs from a 4AT, presuming that the 6AT should be similar.

So far had seen only a couple of the Type E (4AT) in Singapore and None Type E (6AT) as yet.....
