How long ru keeping ur 8?
 
If a new rotary engine is developed with the one element most of us want i'm getting it, otherwise I will have my 8 for a while. I believe it will age better with its uniqueness and they say rotaries get a little better with age as far as performance.

i probably keep my car till 8 nov 2007. that is when my warranty expires. hopefully they will have a rx9 turbocharged by then.

sstricker 04-05-2006 11:46 PM

until i can sell it...

Rich Rx-8 04-05-2006 11:49 PM

I have a slow Auto and am gonna keep it till my warranty is up. Then I'm gonna trade it in.....Or drop some ridiculous engine in it.

SiLVeRE8 04-05-2006 11:55 PM

keeping mine until my sister gets her license...which will be soon and i will miss my baby!

RX4life 04-06-2006 01:41 AM

till a true sports car like the rx-7 comes out or equivalent..

Raptor2k 04-06-2006 01:46 AM

I'm keeping my 8 for a while. Once the FI aftermarket grows a little (with reliability) then I'll be saving up for that. If Mazda makes another, faster RX car, then you gotta do what you gotta do...

brattesani 04-06-2006 01:48 AM

i really like my 8. im not planning on selling anytime soon.

LiveToRev 04-06-2006 01:56 AM

Until the Kabura comes out.

Brandon 04-06-2006 02:08 AM

2014.

I've averaged 13000 miles a year since April 2004 so I think that's possible. And I'm back in school for several more years so I doubt I'll be looking at new cars for a while.

9G Redline 04-06-2006 02:31 AM

I plan on keeping mine for the rest of my life (if possible). This is an amazing car and I'd wanted it since concept introduction. So yea, that's my stake in it.

xrider01 04-06-2006 02:34 AM

i plan on keeping it. she's my first rotary, and my first sports car. she has left sentimental value withn me :tear:.

if i lose it for whatever reason, i'll get another one when i'm back on my feet.

NgoRX8 04-06-2006 04:57 AM

Forever! :)

DOMINION 04-06-2006 05:11 AM

I'll never let my 8 go. I plan on getting a 7 and other cars. I must have toys. I dont want to drop cash on a Z06 or Lambo. I want toys I can play with and not get bored. But thats just me. So yea I'm in for the long-haul.

rx8wannahave 04-06-2006 06:45 AM

My plan is to keep my 8 if possible and fix her up a bit for less weight, more power, and better handling (within reason). Also...I'd like to add a aftermarket NAV/DVD player/video monitor radio IF we ever get passed the Mazda headunit trash they pulled on us.

Now, if the up and comming Camaro has good back seats then I might part ways...but that's a BIG MIGHT. The only reason I would do such a thing is that I don't have the space for 3 cars but maybe by then I will. I just worry that I won't be able to taste a good old American V8 (of the Chevy kind) in the far future if gas prices keep going up.

Now...if Mazda builds a better 8 in the future, I might just trade mine in after it's paid for the new 8.

It's too early to tell...I love her now and I'm enjoying my first rotary very much!

ndtechie09 04-06-2006 07:01 AM

till i pay it off...then ill prolly keep it another year or 2 and mod it, wait till my warranty is up then put a turbo in it :D

DailyDriver2k5 04-06-2006 07:08 AM

I am holding out till the next Supra,redesign Z or RX-9/Kubura/RX-7 replacement comes out. If those are not impressive , then i will keep my 8 for a long time and just buy a year or two old Z-06 505Hp edition in 2009.

I feel the same way. On top of that, I've put way too much time, effort, and money into her to let her go.

Animagix 04-06-2006 07:57 AM

looking to mod the hell out of it once warranty is up. It'll be around but probably would get a SUV or one of those audi wagons just because i'm looking to start a family.

Krankor 04-06-2006 08:29 AM

I generally keep a car at least 7 years, I don't foresee anything different with my shinka...

RotoRocket 04-06-2006 08:32 AM

I'll keep my 8 for a long, long time. I actually plan on never selling the car.

nace0088 04-06-2006 08:43 AM

She's mine forever and ever.

Terrance26 04-06-2006 08:52 AM

I plan on keeping my 8 forever.
