Sad man.

Either people hate the 8 or really neglected the other expenses of owning the car. Cars are damn cheap compared to yester-years but are in fact way more costly to maintain.

it was only recently that the MT flooded the market, before it was all AT and none MT was insight.

If you are a MT driver, you'll always enjoy it. Driver who got sick of driving MT, chances are they are actually AT driver, but trying out the MT, thus got sick of it.

Hey...something is not right...there's a silver RX8 with the licence number EV4848U...but there's a BMW 645i parked in my office building with the licence number EV4848U too...that is strange. Can't have 2 cars having the same licence plate right?

Such scenario could happen as it happens to my dad's car before : It goes like this :

Ex-owner of RX8 (EV4848) probably has not sell his car but bought a new one BMW645i and transfer the number plate to the BM. By right , the RX8 should already been assigned a new number but i think he is too busy to change it.

The dealer or whoever is selling the car will get it changed once there is a buyer. To confirm , can always check with the dealer if the 4848 comes with the car ( i dont so )

Recently there had been many car repo cases. Maybe alot of car owners cannot afford the running costs or the sudden huge costs on insurance renewal.

Am very interested in a rx8 but seems like the running cost (installment,petrol,insurance,maintenance,etc) seems quite high... got quote from MM saying that i gotta pay ard 1k/mth for installment (5yr loan) after trading in my car.. seems quite pricey... do you guys oso face this dilema?

den again seems like 2nd hand (1yr old rx8) is goin for 80-90k n a brand new 4AT goin somewhere at 90k++

It is always better to buy a new one. I have driven a few cars but nothing beats rx8. To be honest it is costly to maintain rx8. Each time when you drive rx8 you will enjoy the experience.

Actually the 3 of the RX8s from the same dealer are located at Commonwealth Mall(Behind Leng Kee 2nd Carmart) it's not a new shopping centre, it's a new used car centre.

Those 8s I dun think is repo lah.
This dealer is one of the main PIs that bring in the 8 & other rides,
they would offer a trade in for their new rides and at the same time,
they would have the potential clientele to divert to a used 8 instead of a new 8.


1 of them even have the front and rear crest.
I happen to stumble upon when I went for my polishing a month back, all had their old plates.
When I went back yesterday,
I think 1 of them have been sold liao, but the other 2 seemed to be
in very good condition with brand new SGE plate.

I did some calculations comparing the costs of maintainence for a few of the cars i like before i bought the 8. I thought it was one of the lowest but end up i spend more.

I service very very frequently. Spend more on modding and early replacements.
