summernicole1 is it even a MT?? I will **** my pants if its an AT.
Dmazda, i dont think you got such a bad deal on yours, pay these people no mind. As about 95% of 2004 model owners will tell you, they run just fine. Your car has just over 7k on it. As long as you have all the proper recalls, TSB's and what nots done to it, your car is practically new (considering it was well kept and not parked outside for most of its life). Dont sweat it. Enjoy it.

Well,
I looked up the Kelly blue book value. It came up at 24,400 for what i described to you guys as being "Mint." I mean the car never saw rain or snow and only has 7300 miles. I have been dealing with rotaries for the last 9 years. I finally had to put a rebuild in my 7 a year ago. So im pretty knowledgable. Also that included with the RX8 purchase is the 5 year 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty. So, if any of the recalls or gremlins come out. I have more than enough time to sort them out. Remember, it's not always the cars fault. Most of the time its the drivers fault.

wow you're ignorant to think 24k for an 04 is a good price!! These cars book for 14.5k clean resale in nada which is what dealerships actually use! Think about it, you can buy a new base rx8 for a couple thousand more than that! Just for fun go get a trade appraisal done on that! I guarantee u won't get more than 14-15k for that!! If you're extremely lucky

I just shat myself
I can already tell she's not that excited about it.. It's just a purty new car.. hah She hasn't even described it..
It's so refreshing when I meet a girl who seriously loves cars and everything about them. My current gf had this to say about her next car:
"I don't really care what kind it is or if it's fast. I just want it to be reliable, and pink."

Its a lot of ppl on here who think everyone's a dumbass when it's really them. No question is a dumb question when you really don't know the answer. There will always be someone here who will answer you without all the BS.

Hey dmazda, ignorant is a relative term - probably uncalled for in this situation.
If you think your car "....never saw rain...." and that the salesman was the actual owner, I have some swamp in Florida you might like!
Ignorant is as ignorant acts......

Yea, it wasnt a bad deal. Sounds like the dealer WANTED to earn you business and you took about $1000 out of the salesmans POCKET by the price dropping that low.
