The car has had one owner and they left all the service records in the glove box, and according to the carfax all the recalls have been dealt with....Im going to call my local mazda dealership tomorrow and have the VIN ran just to check

and when i said 13.5 out the door thats including tax, tags, title.....Im going to pick her up tomorrow and im very very exicted to be apart of this family for real now....I really enjoy how this car drives and thats coming from a ***** out turbo'd TC and if you guys know anything about them they are no slouch in the hp range, i put down 320whp at 12psi

The price sounds about right. Try to get an extended warranty for cheap.

BTW - Bose + Leather = GT

I purchased my 2005 GT (MT) with 21k miles just 3 months back. Paid 14k for it from a dealership. It is in great condition in my opinion. Just something for you to compare to your purchase.

Good luck! Can't hurt to try for a bit lower. At least you're not getting ripped off for $13.5 OTD.

wow. that looks like a really good deal.

if he'll take 8, i may buy it (not because i only think it's worth 8, that's just all i have right now).

edit: oh, whats the reserve?

LOL...this sounds so familiar:

Just one month ago I bought the same car: an '04 GT, Titanium Gray, 6M, 34K miles, heated leather, etc, etc. I also got it for 13.5 out the door. So I'd like to think you got a spectacular deal

8s do not hold their value
Have u checked out craiglist?
This is what I found
As it has been said, not the lowest, not being ripped off.
As long as ur happy, go for it
I would not go with an 04, but that is just me
WHY? First year 8 was introduced, so more bugs than the 05s and 06s, etc

Congrats. No ugly rims. Plz.

I got my 06 with 22k miles and only paid 2k for the 5yr or 75k. i guess is cuz the sales man gave me a voucher that he gets for 2 ppl he chooses for every month, and i also got a aaa discount too.

Heres the Story:

2004 Mazda RX-8 Ti-Gray 34K
Heated Leather Seats
6spd
Bose Sound
Sunroof

you know the rest....

anyway it was lsited at 15700, for memorail weekend 14300....

I haggled and haggled for 3 days and finally got them to do 13500 out the door....

now is this a fair price or are they being rediculous with my second highest offer of 13200 out the door?

Thanks for all your help and advice....
it is a bit high, especially for an 04

my 07 cost me 19K out the door with 16K mies on it
