Can I Check Your Car Out? MN
Hay guys,
I am trying to buy myself a new Rx8. I live in Minnesota and I am in high school. I was looking if there is anyone here that lives in Saint Paul and would let me checkout their car and mods so maybe when I buy my car I can know what to get. Also I really just want to checkout an RX8 and Saint Paul has no Mazda Dealerships. But I am getting my car soon, and have been saving up for it. I have $15000 for it, and have been saving since freshman year in High school... I am a Jr now. So a mentor that lives in my area would be nice. Anyone? Thanks, TD P.S I love the RX8, but a little sad that it cannot beat my friends Evo in a race :( |
I live in Mpls if you ever want to drop by. I had a 2009 and traded it in.. loved it so much I just got a 2004 for a daily driver. Its in medium condition and stock except window tint.
|
Lol I wish I could.
This would be my first car. So I dont drive just yet. |
why not go test drive one?

Like I said "No Mazda Dealership in Saint Paul or Minneapolis"/

You said you have 15k saved up for an 8. Did you calculate how much insurance and gas will cost you as well? Let's say you want a decent condition 8 with about 40-50,000 miles on it; depending on the year it would cost you around $10.5-12.5k. Now gas for one year normally runs about $2300 iirc, and insurance -at least in my case- is 1200 a year. So add that up and the total for the first year of ownership is 15k exactly. (11.5k + 2300+1200) Now factor in the mods you want to buy and more gas expense and insurance for next year etc.
Is it really a smart buy? No. |
Dont worry... I stopped saving for a while. I make $900/week, so gas is surely not a problem ;)
|
Have you gotten an insurance quote yet?
|
Yes, its 190 a month.
Linked with my moms car, brothers, house and more. |
Insurance will be sort of high but if you like the 8 it is totally worth it. Have you checked craigslist? I found mine on there! On a side note.. go manual if you had not made up your mind yet..
|
if you dont mind me asking... how the hell can you possibly make 900 a week as a high school jr.
Im a junior as well with an rx8 and i make like 800 a month dude wtf |
Like I said "No Mazda Dealership in Saint Paul or Minneapolis"/ Looks pretty close to st paul to me..... And it looks like there is a dealer on the north side of Minneapolis also. Why do you think there wouldn't be a Mazda dealer in that large of a city? |

Lol Well if you know your way around a Computer and a Smartphone... You make a lot of money. $50/hour worth of money ;)

I would look into the forum for more in depth advantages of manual vs auto, but I can tell you the auto is a lot less powerful .. and slower. I have been in both like many others and just about everybody agrees manual is the way to go. It is worth learning!

But true, I just talked to them and we are going to every dealership (Toyota, Ford, Mazda) to see what car I like best.

That didn't answer his question. I guessing you jailbreak I-phones or something along those lines?
But no, I work as a computer assistant. So I help people having computer issues and problems along those lines. I also write as an editor for a few web sites... (xda-developers.com, wmpoweruser.com, droidforums.com). But I did not include the money from that in the amount of money I make a week, because if I did... then I would feel like a rich prick at 17. |
If I can get my car to look that cool. Rims, Mazdaspeed body kit. And sound that beastly...
Then, I would be happy and use it through collage... I asked the guy what he has in it... but didnt get a response yet. |
Honestly you cant get all of the enjoyment out of your rx8 unless you buy a manual, no offense A/T's lol.
I bought my rx8 without knowing how to drive stick when i was a sophomore, learned in 3 hours. Trust me, do it. |

FYI im in mnapolis this weekend for vikings game tommorow, and i drove through walser and there wasnt a single rx8. pathetic IMO
