Yeah, i bought the one up at King Motors on 10th in GF. They wanted 14,9 for it, talked them down to 13,6 and they mis priced it online at 10,6. So I got it at 10,6. I kinda weaseled them out of it.

I know 1st liberty on 10th had a yellow one that was pretty bad-*** and modified. It was nice when i test drove it. Has the navigation and an exhaust system. It backfired though. They're asking anywhere from 10K to 12K since its a repo they take bids.

Another thing is theres a dealership in Houston, TX that sells RX8's for like 10K on ebay. Tickets to Houston are only 180$. You could fly down and drive up if your interested.

I only have summer tires on my car so I can't drive it at the moment. I'm hoping to get snow tires on the rears (atleast) sometime this week, we'll see. But yeah if you wanna take a look you can just PM me and i'll give you my cell #.

I'm looking at 05-07's. The biggest thing for me is it has to be white (which I've found is near impossible to find) and a manual tranny. I'd like it without a sunroof since I'm a tall guy and I can use all the head room I can get. But most of the other options are negotiable.

I flew down to New Mexico and drove back my wife's Forester XT, so if I can find one for 10 or 11K I'll ****** it up.

I have a 2004 w/ 64K miles on it. Feels like the Coils/Plugs may need to be replaced but to be honest it drives like a champ. I even have a carfax with maintenance records =).

TBH, i'm 6"4 and I thought the sunroof would be an issue. But it really isn't for me. I have the seat set just right that its VERY comfortable to drive and I still have a couple centimeters before I hit the liner. I just drive with the sunroof cover open all the time and I have all the room I need.

That 8 in the link looks beautiful and its not a bad price at all. It looks to be a touring so you'd have sunroof and HID Headlights. No leather, auto seats, or the auto dimming mirror. (all of which isnt really important lol)

edit: just noticed aftermarket intake, cant really tell what kind since the pics are pretty blurry. I would def check and make sure the dealer didnt enter the intake in their system, because if it were ever to have engine problems mazda could deny a new engine due to aftermarket parts.

That's good to know. Thanx. I'd still love to have one without though. Part of my build plan is to have a stripe over the top, and I'd like to not have it interupted by the whole in the roof.

But even still, if I found a car that was perfect but had a sunroof, I'd probably still pick it up.

Did the tint suck and did it have a exhaust. A bank up here in Great Falls, MT was selling one with crappy tint and an exhaust. I test drove it but instead ended up with a red one. Apparently the one i'm referring too was a repo; nice mods too! Exhaust, Intake, Amp, Sub, had some tint. Went for around 11,000$

Yep had tint and exhaust, the tint looked alright though, was pretty dark all around. Exhaust looked like it was a greddy maybe. Rims had chrome lips

The saying Where the men are men and the sheep are very nervous always seems to point towards Montana

niceness. I've been wanting a aftermarket bumper since I've had the car. Mostly because of winter rockchips and I want something cool to repaint
