Well, yeah, I think 20 USD works out to about $230 Canadian.

Exclamation License Plate

I might be wrong but I think its $180 here in CT.
Seems like at this pace everyone who has an 8 will have a vanity plate.

In VA, plain random plates on vehicles under 4000 lb. are $29.50/yr. Personalized plates are an extra $10/yr.

All the specialized plates (college logos, etc.) are an additional $10-25/yr.

Hey to the other ladies on the board. Add one more female to the group.... My plate is ALWAZL8. More because I AM always late than anything to do with the car. I had it on my last car and transfered it to my 8 when I got it in November. :D

One more female

Hello Ladies, Count in one more female! Well, I'm an almost RX8 owner. Mine is on order and should be here in about four weeks. The DMV let me put my vanity plates on hold for 90 days until the RX8 gets here. I'm going to wait until the plates are actually on my new sports car before I tell what they say.

Any interesting stories from female owners about dealing with car salesmen when you bought your RX8? I actually had one tell me that because there wasn't a yellow RX8 with the options I wanted available I would just have to accept that I couldn't have exactly what I wanted. My response was that if I was going to pay almost $31k for a new car I was going to get what I wanted or I wasn't buying. I went to another dealer who was happy to order the car for me plus gave me a better deal. Apparently the other dealer is still living in the old days.....

I had a dealer tell me there was no way he could let me preorder an 8 without agreeing to anything less than $5k over MSRP. Since I already knew more about the car and what was going on than he did, I told him to shove it (metaphorically speaking, of course) and found a dealer who agreed to give it to me for what I wanted. And the entire time the cars were being built, I knew more than the dealer about their own pre-order program!

The nice thing about being female is that when you DO come in prepared, they're usually unprepared for you- completely throws them off when a woman, god forbid, actually knows what she's talking about when it comes to buying a car.

Cool

I saw a Titanium Gray RX8 in Newport News yesterday with the plates "ZOOMX3". I thought that was very imaginative!

I am still (toe tapping) impatiently awaiting the arrival of our RX8. I talked to the sales manager a couple of days ago and he said they have the VIN # for it but not a build date. ARRGH!

The dealers in this area stink.

You may be waiting for awhile.

In fairness to the dealer he did tell us it would take about 8 to 10 weeks for the car to be built and shipped. It will be 7 weeks since we ordered it this coming Wednesday. I guess I'm just impatient......

I just ordered my plate, I thought it was appropiate for living on the east coast H8 SNOW. Knowing that individuals that live in that type of climate know.
