Advice for purchasing

I know I want an RX8 after test driving one. I was curious when was the best time of year to purchase one? I was looking at purchasing one in June/July or should I wait until the 2009 ones come out?

Also I see large differences in what insurance company's charge for insurance for this car. I live in Galveston Texas and was wondering if anyone else had someone they recommend I check out for getting the RX8 covered for less than 180/mo with maximum insurance numbers (300,000 per accident etc....)

Also I have a 2004 Civic LX I am trading in and KBB says I should be able to get 8500 for it. I am not sure what the dealer is going to offer for it, but if it is below the KBB trade in value what do ya'll recommend?

Ok after doing some of my own research I recommend everyone read http://www.carbuyingtips.com/ before purchasing a car. Still wondering about the insurance stuff.

If you're going secondhand, wait till winter. Prices tend to drop in the snow for RWD sports cars (I remember our KBB being $14,000, and now it's higher).

the 09 will not have any rebates until 09. right now 08 gts are going for $26,000 after rebate.

But the 09 with the R3 package looks so good... I got an 08.... for 26 grand...
