Glad I live in the USA

Because I'm here in Thailand right now for surgery, and the RX-8 in this country cost 100K. I guess it would be ok if the jobs here paid better, decent work over here only pays 1k a month. Knowing this I would never be able to dirve an 8 over here. Now i'm away from my ride and i'm crying already. Just wondering how much the RX-8 cost in other countrys?

40,000 US$ in Cyprus for a new 6-speed with leather. And that is cheap considering it is taxed as a 1.3, the 350Z is almost 100,000 US$, there is only one on the island that I know of

There are about 500-600 RX8s and our population is about 700,000 people.

Costs $61000 here in NZ - approx US$38000 & our average wage is around 35k.
BUT we have the best roads for this car - so owning an 8 here is true bliss

I'm thinking surgery isn't something I shop for with a coupon.

But that's just me.

You don't know what you're talking about. They have the newest hospitals in the world with doctors usually trained in the US or Europe. I bet they are better than a lot of run down hospitals in this country.

Sorry for the political comment, but I just had to say it.
I think khtm's comment was said with Canadian tongue firmly in cheek, btw.

If you put the problems you guys have with your RX-8's to one side....then I agree, the US is the place to be. They are dirt cheap there. Very few people under 25 own an RX-8 here, they are too expensive.

A lot of people go to Thailand for surgery. Yes, it's cheaper than the US, but it doesn't mean your getting bad service. Think of the exchange rate. The hospital at Bankok is first rate. It's one of the best places to get implants, eye surgery, sex change....

YellowRx.. what are you doing there?? Hope everything down there is intact.

hahahaha he said sexchange. I'm here because of a herniated disc in my spine. I've had this problem for almost 6 months. The service in Thailand #1 IMO I got a VIP room and really pretty nurses, Yes is checked. I had a doctor that was rated 1 or 2 in Thailand, and i'm glad to say it whent really well. I was in the hospital for two days and i'm already walking. I'm sure all you guys that live in the US know, without insurance you would pay up the over here it cost me around 3-4K. oh and one more thing don't bang them and you wont get them.

Just in case the above post was meant the way I think it might have been, please be advised that Mexico is in North America.
