about to be an R3 owner.

Hello guys.

just droped an order for a 2010 MICA BLUE R3 .
really stoaked , ive always wanted one when i saw my friend bought an 04
at that time we both bought new cars and i got a 350z he got the rx8.

4 years later after paying off the Z, i booted it right away and got my self a 93FD.
which is about to be highly modified .(haltech,alky control,fuel system,gt35r etcetc..save that for some other time.

things i love about the RX8, it has great interior/ handeling and you just feel so attach to the road
plus i love the high rpm sound of the rotary,nothing in the world can compare to that....well unless its jessica albas moaning sound.

well dont know what eles to say here...
so ill bost some pics of the Z and the FD

when the R3 arrives i will post pic of it .

I hope you know there is no tuning for the R3, hence no modifications can be made to increase power.

Welcome to the handling world!

so the dealership is trying to sell me the R3 for 34k+tax and all the other stuff for out the door.
i got a 4.9apr

which comes out 36-37K, and after a few hours of all the managers licking my nuts trying to talk me into buying it , i walked.
what the hell is wrong with them they are the devil !

im gonna go to a different dealership next week to find a better deal then the 37K OTD price

im pretty dame sure i dont have to pay that much for one.

You can get a much better deal. I got mine for $26k + tax/tags with 4.9% interest rate.

I say go back to that dealership in 6 months when its still sitting on there lot and see if they will sell it to you then.

This car had been on ebay forever if you want to drive to Illinois lol. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2009-...item27b457de9c

but yours is an '09. Didn't you get cash back? (I did.) There's no cash back incentives for the RX-8 now, so it may be difficult to get that low. Mine was under 28 otd, but that included 5k off.
