My lease ended on my 2006 Phantom Blue GT AT. I was prepared to turn it in and at the last minute I decided to keep the 8 and buyout the lease. I have really enjoyed this car and the "fun factor" is still there when I drive it!

 

Congratulations, you made the right decision.

 

congrats! enjoy!!

 

w00t w00t congrats! now post pics

 

Nice choice. Enjoy

 

You should've return it, and get a MT instead.

 

^^ I knew that was coming at some point throughout this thread

 

Great choice!

 

good choice i have an at too and SOMETIMES i regret having it but the fun is still present and i love it regardless

 

+1. Nevertheless, if you are happy with you AT rx-8 for the last few years, then so be it.

 

Congrats!

 

Having a MT is always my first choice, but when you drive the LA freeways and have bad knees you have to compromise!!! Having the tiptronic and paddle shifters lets me have some fun

 

Did they lower the price on the buy out or not . My leased end in March just wondering how that works ?
