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.

Vehicle Modifications

• Carbon Fiber Eyelids from evo-r
• Authentic Mazdaspeed Sideskirt with Custom Carbon Fiber Overlay by K2 Motoring and JRX Rotary
• Custom Carbon Fiber Mazdaspeed Rear Diffuser by K2 Motoring and JRX Rotary
• Tein S-Tech Lowering Sport Springs
• ALPHA HID Lighting System 6000k H7 Kit
• Mio Digi Walker C220 Portable Car Navigation System with GPS
• RAYS Volk Racing TE-37 19x8.5 +29 19x9.5 +34

• Rear Dunlop Direzza 101 275/30/19
NOT INSTALLED
• HKS Twin Power DLII
• HKS Twin Power Harness

Am I missing anything?

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.

What are friends for?

um ?

he's saying that once your friend realizes that you robbed him, you won't have a friend anymore.

lol :crazy:

Have you tracked/Auto-X with your car before? If not, don't call it slow quite yet. AS we all know, the 8 shines in the twisties and turns, not in a straight line on a street.

Your 8 is clean man, I would keep it, but I'm bias, of course

Leon, first dibs on ur hks twin power and grounding kit!

besides, 335I ftw, ur finally getting it huh, :D

hahah conan. no problem mang
just gotta find the best deal $ wise
so far so good
just a little more time i guess :)

anyone want this? :)

crazy idea, maybe the rx8 for sale section???

beers :beer:

If you have a wad of cash to blow and want to keep the car for power/milage ratio, I recommend putting in a small-block aluminum V8 or an inline-4 Turbo like SR20DET (modified for more power, of course).

But if you want to sell it, I would say look for a replacement before you sell it.

i have a replacement :)
well we are considering purchasing two cars at once.
335i sedan and coupe. the coupe for me

and the coupe would be....?

i said 335

sell me your front, sides, and rear diffuser.

I will give you 80k for it.

Keep It !!!!!!!!

Not fast? Did you even think before you bought this car? Getting this car in automatic is really a total waste of money for 212hp, you should have known that. I have no clue why Mazda would make such a dumb move and cripple the AT, but they did. Should have gotten a stick, you would have been much more pleased with the performance.

i couldnt have.. my parents

Must be tough to deal with having your parents buy you a car, and then decide to replace it for you.

all around airbags.. so as far as unsafe.. it got 4-5 stars on EVERY category. install a FI and you will get the MPG to power ratio you are looking for. unreliable how? you will lose a good chunk of money if you have a loan out on it.. it has a huge depreciation in value.. all your extras wont add much value.

22k... for a 2006 AT? ya... def. sell it.

just go home!!! and ur not welcome to the walnut meets anymore!!!! just leave!!! can some one kick him outta rx8club.com!!!!................................... ....j/k good luck.

You need to go with Ceasar and Kieth to Auto X or join me on the real race track.


You'll see how fast it is Obeewan.............

Its a good thing your selling the car since you will never know the full potential of a RX8 on a real race track. I would not expect to win any street races with the car since most swapped hondas out there will hand you your a@# in a heartbeat.

i do not street race, if that's what you are assuming.
