angeljoelv 06-26-2011 06:35 PM

purchased October 2003. I was one of the very few rx8 around town for some time.

velociti 06-26-2011 06:45 PM

Got my lightly used '8 in January '06, so 5+ years. If I don't wind up selling it to grab my brother's mint M3, I will try to keep the thing for as long as humanly possible. I adore this thing, and have since I saw the concept car in Road and Track (check my join date)!

Rotr8 06-26-2011 06:51 PM

Got mine in May of 2004 lurked for a while then signed up here in Oct.

Ive had my baby for 8 years but it fills like I bought it last night... :)
Maybe its because Im always getting new crap for it..
what can I say, thats my baby..

swiftnet 08-06-2014 09:03 AM

UNDead thread ; )

Just traded in my 8, she was getting tired and I'm getting old. Picked up a '14 Mazda 3. Enjoyed the RX8 for 11 years! Never replaced the engine, started losing compression at 117,000 miles (that is when I let her go).

dag 08-06-2014 06:34 PM

I've had mine since Jan 31st 2004. I plan on keeping mine until my son graduates college in 2 years. It's his then if he wants it, otherwise I'm keeping it. 111K miles. Never had a compression test (haven't felt the need to do it). Still runs great. Pretty much stock, but adding the BHR ignition this month. It's held up well, bumper has a gnarly gash thanks to a bouncing piece of concrete years ago and the body has typical scratches complements of parking lots. I love this car. Still smile heading into off ramps :D

Great story - my neighbors son loved it so much that he and his g-friend got a black 8. So now on the street there are 2 '04 8's lined up.

Since October 2003 and still going strong on original engine and Hymee supercharged for more than 3 years.

Car build date was 17th September 2003 and that is my birth day as well so the car has a special significance to me.
