Getting an RX8 for college
Jan/Feb is always the best time to buy the previous years NEW car. Lots don't want to pay the taxes on them and end of Feb they gotta if its on the lot. In Southern Cal weather, prices will stay steady year round I would think.
Good luck on the buy

Hmm so you think I should wait all the way until January?
I just don't wanna be stuck with a color/options I don't want if I wait. I looked on the Mazda website and within about 100 miles there's only one 8 that's in the color I want with the options I want...

Hey guys,
I know teenagers getting an RX8 is a beaten topic, but I just wanted your opinions. I'm 17 years old and I'm graduating high school in about a month, going to college next year, and I'm looking to buy a new car. My parents are paying for everything...car, gas, insurance (they won't let me work, they want me to focus on school =/ ). Anyways, I've been looking at the RX8 for years, practically since it came out and I figure now with the economy I should be able to get a new RX8 Sport model for around 22-23k-ish (or is this too unreasonable? I've been hearing of people getting 5k off sticker prices).
What worries me is high gas costs and not being able to handle a sports car at my age (and tbh I would feel spoiled getting it, idk I've wanted the RX8 for a long time and it just wouldn't feel right having it handed it to me, I want to work for it and earn it). But the thing is I am going to be keeping this car for at least 6 years (probabably more like 9-10), so my parents want me to get something nice that'll last me. So what do you guys think? I figure during the time that I own the car I'll mature and be able to handle it, and I consider myself to be pretty responsible for my age.
Other cars I'm considering other than the RX8 are the Mazdaspeed 3, Cooper S, and the new Camaro.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
