Re: "Rent an RX8". Very interesting responses. I surely understand everyone's fear of a scam. However, I've located a car and I will be taking photos IN the owner's presence without removing the car. I need to view an undamaged undercarriage opposed to the very damaged one I currently have. Thanks for the education.

 

Is there a guarantee it won't cross the mexican border?

 

I have one for rent... even though it's only a 1:14 scale one

 

Depends on the conditions. You can PM me.

 

phatguy - be careful here. this scam has been run for ages.

 

To Anyone who rents their 8:
Want to rent your g/f or wife for ONE day for about $400.00 or so? Want to take some pics/movies.
ROFL

 

You want to take some pictures.... of you crashing it into a post?

 

If you want to rent one so badly, try your local car rental place.

This does sound like some weird scam. Be careful, please.

 

Why dont you just test drive one and take pictures then

 

Change the thread name to "buy" --
He wants to buy an RX-8 from someone for $400.

 

If the PM starts mentioning foreign diplomats and financiers you'll know for sure. lol.

Can't hurt to see if it's legit. Though I'd guess it isn't.

 

He's gonna pay you with a cashier's cheque for $1000 so you have to give him $600 extra in cash so he has spending money too for that day...

 

they may legitimately pay the person $400 but even if it's cash, they might as well file a police report after they see it leave their driveway.

 

Well, yeah - but I wouldn't consider "Here's $400 bucks, give me the keys - I'll bring it back in a few hours" legit.


If it's just a matter of showing up at a location (well lit, public - legit type of place) and hang around while the shoot is done, then it's worth the $$$.

 

LOL you can rent mine but you will have to hot wire it

 

if you get to hang around while they shoot it should be worth the money (especially if they have models )

 

I would see what the conditions are, if he wants you to just hand him the keys then he can go suck a big one. If you get to watch then it wouldn't be bad at all.

 

I'll let you rent my car for $40000............hahahaha

 

can i borrow your gf/wife for around $400 or so? i won't even charge to drive up there.

 

Just rent out the rx8 with a safety deposit of:
1: drivers license
2: birth certificate
3: 40,000 cash
4: his car, keys
5: his kids, gf, or applicable cherished family member
6: house keys
7: finger prints
8: signed legal agreement stating that if the car is not returned in %100 same condition, you get to keep all of the above (the family member is optional).

 

well if he has a hot family member hey why not

 

This is definitely the way to do it, I wouldn't do it unless he agreed to these terms, lol. He can keep the kids though I don't need anymore bills.

 

Phishing schemes on rx8club.com? I'm shocked, SHOCKED!

 

Can somebody tell me how this scam works? Suppose he gives me a cheque for 1000$. I put it in the bank. Once the money is transferred to my account only then I give his $600 back!. Now how does that get me into trouble?

 

How about one of his kidney?
