How much can I sell my 8 for?
 

Hello all,
I am *considering* selling the 8, due to a couple of different reasons.
1. Not fast at all for its MPG
2. Unreliable
3. Family (thinks the 8 is a toy therefore they made the assumption that it's unsafe)

First of all, I have a 2006 Sport AT 25,000 miles on my car.
Perfect Condition, running the car with Idemitsu Rotary Oil + Idemitsu Premix Lub
Always ran on Chevron gas.

Why not go FI? Then you will get plenty of power. By the way the car looks great. I think you should keep it.

This part of your thread will definately get a response.....but because its Christmas I think people will be nice to you!!!!

:flamed: :

almost christmas, thats juz make me feel sad leon,

Come on he is only 17 written as only a 17 yo can.:lol:

That is a nice 8. Don't sell! You don't need anymore more speed.. Trust me.. And the mpg can be worked out somehow..

Unfortunately, you probably won't get nearly as much as you're hoping, especially because of the AT part. Nice looking car though! The more I look at that lip, the more I think I like them

1. Maybe you should take it to a track, and see if it live up to its mpg
2. Dude you got an AT ... shame on you.
3. Your family knows nothing about cars. not to mention a Rotary, why would you listen to them ?

i think you should sell the sideskirts and front lip to me to help you recoup some costs.

how can you recoup the money you lose on the 8, to justified getting better MPG on another car. Keep the 8 and run it into the ground. And have fun .

there are a LOT of RX-8's for sale these day so that will hurt you. Also, the AT part pretty much kills the resale.

You will never recover the money you spent on your mods. Typically, you only get back 1/3 rd of what you spend on mods. (IF that)
go to www.kbb.com and see what they come up with but also check our F/S threads to get a comparison.

Mabe 18k if you sell it yourself.

thanks for everyones input
but if it really comes down to me selling the 8
and i can't get a deal that's good enough
i will part out first, then trade in (even though I know trade-in value is low as hell)
:(

if you do part out, seriously consider me for those pieces i mentioned. hit me with a PM on how much you want and i may be interested.

Just keep it and put the racing brake kit on it.

Shut up Razz !

I want him to part his car so I can buy his parts :P

keep it, bad time of year to try and sell a car

i'll buy your tires and rims for uh..

$700 +s/h

:lol2:

$17,000.....Good luck selling it.

youre kidding right?

a friend of mine's friend offered 22,000

take it and report back how that goes..


beers :beer:

well, it's not all that easy, we are trying to get rid of my 8 and also negotiating a deal on getting a 335i coupe and sedan together.

if anyone is willing to buy it for $22K, make the deal and get out of there.

Hahhaha... you won't have a friend anymore.
