2008 40th AE RX-8
Hey, I know this obviously isn't a very professional first post, but I have to start somewhere, and i may as well know the value or a car before i attempt to purchase it...
At a local dealer there is a 2008 40th Anniversary Edition Rx-8 with 113xx miles with $24,998 on the sticker. What do you guys think would be a good target price to talk this guy down to? Currently the car has been sitting there since late 2008, it was previously leased by one person, and has a check engine light. Obviously i would have the CEL taken care of before purchase, but all other things considered what would be a good price to attempt to work down to? Thanks for your thoughts, Jim EDIT: also, what are common issues to look for on these cars? certain maintenance records i should be looking for? body issues (i.e. honda cancer), or anything else of that nature? Basically i'm looking for any bargaining chips i could use to negotiate down the price. |
I read that wrong. I thought you said that there were over 113k miles on the car already!!!
Anyways, you can get 2010's for cheaper. Search around, but I'm sure you can get under $21k for this car, especially with a CEL (what is the CEL showing?) read the first few posts of each of these links to answer some q's you have FAQ’s https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-forum-197/rx-8-faq-please-read-before-posting-959/ New and Potential Owner’s, Start Here https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-forum-197/new-potential-owners-start-here-202454/ Congratulations, you got an 8 https://www.rx8club.com/new-member-forum-197/congratulations-you-got-8-a-202548/ New Owner FAQ’s https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...&highlight=FAQ Also, make sure you read the “stickies” in each sub-forum edit: make sure you get a compression test done as well. find out when the plugs/ coils were last changed, and the maintenance records if you can |
IMHO, why look at a car that is way overpriced and has a questionable predictament ( CEL on ). I would buy it at around 18k, otherwise go for a used 2009. 2009 is SII. You could get a mid mileage 2009 Sport for 18k.
Very very few people will see the 40th AE as a desireable. So dont make this badge be your emotional drive to buy. The answer is in your post....been sitting on the lot for a long time....... |
That is a horrible deal...Im with them look for a new r3 their around that price or cheaper.
