Some question on available RX8 models

Hi guys, would like to know which PI brings in all the available colours of the RX8? Cos i went to one PI (C**T****) , i asked for white but they say dun have. I thought they will indent if they dun have the model, but probably need to wait some time? Is copper red available for 4AT and 6MT? Or only Shinka? Can the PI oso bring in the Shinka version other than GarageR or WOW?

Some bros wer saying if want the 6MT, should go for MM. But would getting a 6MT from a PI be cheaper? Cos now itz 117988 at MM. Is the specs the same as MM? I am looking for a pearl white or copper red RX8. And can i oso choose the interior too? Cos for MM, you can't choose the interior colour combi as it is "fixed" according to the SE. Only the red colour got red interior and black colour got the brown colour interior for example.

Thanks in advance for so many questions =)

The 6MT from PIs are usually jap spec which is more powerful (238 vs 250).

I got my white 8 only after waiting 2 months and paid a premium of 1k.

Just rang Jimmy from World of Wheels they can indent, titanium grey, silver, black, red, blue, green and white. Supposedly both white and titanium grey have to add 1K. Unfortunately, Copper Red is a Shinka II only colour.

Price for 6MT Type S currently $110K for same spec as MM, does not include sunroof. Sunroof upgrade 3K. (Choice of interior possible)

Price for 6MT base model $108K. Base model does not have leather seats, electric seats, 6 disc changer, xenon lights, body kit, sunroof, bose sound system. etc.

Price for 4AT base model $98K. Base model does not have leather seats, electric seats, 6 disc changer, xenon lights, body kit, sunroof, bose sound system. etc.

Price for 4AT Type E $110K, same spec interior/exterior spec as MM, except sunroof. Sunroof upgrade 3K. (choice of interior possible)

And for PI's advertising $89,888 is without GST, registration, iu unit, roadtax and COE non-guaranteed. So be careful of hidden costs.

PI prices

I see i see, thank you for all your inputs =) There's one PI advertising for 87588, so i guess without road tax, registration, IU unit etc. But they advertised as confirmed COE. Noticed that the terms "Confirmed COE" and "Guranteed COE" sometimes being used in the same car ads...I have the impression that both should mean the same...is there a difference?
