2008 40th Anniversary
So I wanted to get some of your thoughts on this. I just traded in my Touring 04 (VR) for a 40th Anniversary 2008 model. I'm paying basically 7k in addition to the trade. What do you guys think?
|
personally i'd go for an '09 so you can get all the engine-related upgrades Mazda did for the Renesis
|
Sounds fair...

Far as looks go, I'd say the 40AE is the best looking RX8. Makes me wish I had waited a year. Now whether you think it was a good deal, that depends on what you got for the trade vs what you could have sold it for.
|
40 ae is an awesome rx-8, i love the interior almost as much as my shinka interior if not equally.
it was a good deal especially for an 04 |
Coolness.. I love the car... I was looking at the R3 but they took 11k off the MSRP for the 40AE vs that + interest for a car that I didn't necessarily like the look of. It seems that they went overboard with the plastic trim on the 09s lol...

Welcome to the club.

Nothing mechanically different about our 40th AEs right?
|
I'm looking at doing this exact thing next weekend. I'm just not a fan of the 09's, and this is the last chance to get the 04-08 styling NEW.
Let us know how you like the 40th AE |
and post pics!

Gratz, sounds like a decent move. |
get the 08, 09 is ok, just cant get mods that much as the 08, im trying to get my seats done in blue soon
|
Well I just drove it home tonight. I will take some pics in the morning when I get home and post some them. I need to take the title back to the dealer with my down payment and take the old 8 so I can get my arc air diverter and mishimoto intake out. they get the old stockies lol. I was gonna try and take the borlas but they wouldn't let me. :( I still think I came out ahead. MSRP was 34k and they brought it down 11k total. Only has 59 miles on it. :P
Oh yeah and the Short Throw Shifter... Can't forget that lol... |
so you went with the 08, good

The only thing I don't like about it is that it is hard to picture external mods on it because it's a color you rarely find. I can't just hop on here and see what color rims look good on it as opposed to cars that are a more common color. But that's not really a car flaw, it's more of an imagination flaw on my part. |
I think the only difference it would be is that the 40th has Bilstein dampers. It's yellow if you take a close look.

Sorry for the crappy quality... They were taken with my phone...

Personally Im not a fan of the tag (40th) or the rims for that matter . Enjoy it .

decent move, but 7k in mods would've netted more imo... granted you can't undo mileage. |
Ummm very nice .. enjoy it mate.

I have one. The tag is not a big deal. I LOVE the wheels. And get a LOT of compliments on them. Get some clear corners!
