I was looking at all the threads about how people are getting 05s for 22kish out the door and i started to have third thoughts about this car.

It's an 04 with 59k miles on it and i would be getting it from a dealer for 20k out the door. So i know this sounds pretty stupid but I been getting the price down slowly slowly over the last month and want my rx-8. You guys think 59k is 2 much? It was previously owned by rx8clubber and i got it checked out and it has had all the recalls and oil changes done to it and it drove alot smoother then the other 2 used rx8s in this town (Panama City, FL). Even the Mazda dealership here doesnt have any 05s.

Any advice?

Edit: (Don't think it has any packages but the dealer didnt know..how do i find out?)

 

with that kind of mileage? i would say so...i would try for at least another $1000 off. The far majority of RX8s don't even have half that mileage...

 

you can get a brand new 2006 base unit for around $25,000. Personally I'd rather pay $5,000 more than get 60,000 miles added to my car. But that's a personal choice.

 

On a side note...im not rich so even 20k is stretching it for me..but i've been a mazda/rotary engine fan for a while >.<

This all came up because i wanted a new car...but now im starting to think i should get some econocar and save up for the next 10 years

 

The rx-8 will not be cheap if something breaks. If 20k is pushing it, I'd recommend looking at an econobox for a few years. By then, you'll be able to get the RX-8 when it gets a face lift.

 

You should wait until your more flexible.

 

I agree. Wait till a lower miles one comes along.

 

You can get a RX-8 with a lot less miles for about the same price if you're patient.
If anything breaks at 59K miles, you're on your own and SOL.

For $20K, you should be able to get yourself a newer car.

 

59k, your chances of running into problems are more likely, and the warranty is out. Even if it costed you $16-20k, the potential costs would up that a lot more.

But if you really want a nice car, go for it, whether it's that certain car or another deal you can find. Ten years is a damn long time.

 

i cant even sell my 20k miles 04 gt w/nav for 20k

 

for that many miles on it tell him 18.5k out the door if he says he cant do it walk away theres always a better deal out there

 

If you do it make the dealer throw in an extended warranty
