Help with Selling Price
Hi All,
I am thinking of selling my 2008 40th Anniversary Edition RX8 with just over 40,000 miles. Its a great car but I ran out of space in my garage - Mazad Miata, Audi A4, Bentley GT and two motorcycles. I have looked at the prices in KBB and NADA but looking to see what you guys would recommend. Since I think you would be more representative of people in the know.
Thanks in advance. Traveling now but will load pictures later in the week.

Your idea is outstanding the issue is one thing that not enough persons are speaking intelligently about. I am very completely satisfied that.

Having said that, I would start with whatever prices ranges you got from KBB and NADA and go from there based on the condition of the car. I would guess the car might have better chances of being sold faster than other RX8s from that year (2008) because the interior is very rare, which is something you can use to market the car.
You can also use the foam filled cross-member (whatever that does, nobody really knows), factory Bilstein shocks and R3 style wheels (also standard on all 2009-2011 RX8s, although the ones in the 40th AE are a different color), and Bose sound system (not spectacular but the Bose brand seems to attract people) to bump your sale. These things were unique to the 40th AE trim.
Good luck.

IMO kbb and other pricing sites have had thier values inaccurately decreased due to ignorant owners destroying 8s because they don't take proper care of them. I have a 2004 6 speed gt, original everything with just over 117k miles in near mint condition. Blue book is about 5000. I would put it closer to 7-8k.

Sentimental value besides blinding you of actuality unfortunately adds no real value to your car!

I have only had the car for a few weeks, no sentimental value yet. I like to use cargurus.com because they base values on actual sales prices. The car is worth whatever people are willing to pay for it, and according to previous sales, kbb and such are giving much lower values. So if kbb says 5k, but comparable cars have been selling for 7-8 recently in my area, ill go with 7-8.

7-8k for an 04' with 117k? yeah. I have seen clean 2007's sell for not much more than that. There is a 2007 Stormy Blue GT 6 port/6 speed Auto for sale at my dealer right now with 60k on it for $12,000.00 asking price. I am certain they would take a grand or more less without much argument.
You can buy clean sub 100,000 mile RX-8 GT's here all day long in the 6-7k range and any Series I RX-8 over 100k is $5,000.00 and under. And quite often some of them have had recent re-manufactured engines installed. The prices are **** because an engine replacement cost is more than half of the value of the car, even for the 07 and 08's.
