I Need Your Help To Choose My Rx8

i'm between 2 winning blue rx8 and i really need your opinion on this.


in picture 1 and 2 is:
2004 rx8 mazdaspeed
mazdaspeed exhaust system
6 speed M/T
dvd navigation
bose sound system
xenon light
cloth seats
42000 km.

in picture 3 and 4 is:
2003 rx8
6 speed M/T
dvd navigation
bose sound system
xenon lights
leather seats
27000 km.

both are in exceptional condition.

only differents is that mazdaspeed comes with front spoiler, rear wing,mazdaspeed exhaust system and the other one has leather seats and less km.

also both have same price $21300.00.
to get an rx8 new here in cyprus with no extra cost around $50000.00

please let me know your thought and whats the best deal/choice with your opinion.

thanks in advance

Since the prices are the same, I'd get the Mazdaspeed RX8. Leather seats and a few less kilometers are nice, but, damn, the Mazdaspeed mods alone are worth a good chunk of change. Neither of them appears to have a sunroof, so Mazdaspeed would be my choice.

Wow I really wish you were near my area...I would sell you mine thats a fully loaded 6 speed with everything possible(appearance, rotary accent, spoiler, navi, leather...)...with a mazdaspeed nose and a few subtle aftermarket modifications (borla exhaust, rp supercat, mazsport cooling mod, hks racing suction intake, fender strakes, sparco shift ****, passport 8500x50 radar...) for 20,000

If I were you I would go for the Mazdaspeed one...it is one year newer...and you'd be surprised how nice the cloth seats are...basically you're choosing leather or Mazdaspeed kit

The Mazdaspeed one, minus the rims. Is it just me or is the MS one left hand drive, and the '03 right hand drive?

Lower mileage with leather seats one. Both seem a bit overpriced considering they're 30 and 04 models.

i'd say u should decide based on what's more important to you, mazdaspeed body kit or low mileage. because, really that's the main difference.

for me personally, i'd go for the lower mileage. the mazdaspeed kit is all cosmetic, and the car looks good stock already. plus, if u still want the mazdaspeed kit, u can always buy it and add on later.

u can't, however, roll back mileage. well, not legally at least.

p.s. in the u.s. the earliest model year was 2004. i was unaware outside the u.s. mazda shipped 8's as 2003's.

Mazdaspeed parts are worth about $3500

Leather is worth $1000


Mileage(KM) difference is worth about $750
