I'm a proud new Owner!!

Hi!

I'm new here since I just bought my RX-8 2 days ago.
Mazda RX-8 2004, 99000 km, red, perfect condition, never seen a winter.

I paid 13900$ for it.

That's it for now, I'll try to post some pictures soon!

Thanks!

Chris

congrat

Do have loads of fun. 90 000 km means your warranty is pretty much gone, maintenance plan too. So, take it easy and check that dipstick from time to time.

yeah sorry, I'm from Canada... that is why I wrote it in km...

And there is no warranty anymore, the guy told me it was 3 years, 80 000 km.

I love it already! I'll take pictures when Sun finally shows up!

He's asking whether you bought a GS or GT model and what options it may have (sunroof, navigation, etc).

Congratulations and welcome!

seems a bit high in mileage, but if you are happy, thats all that matters.

welcome to the addiction.

Congrats, and on the great color choice.

Consider that 99K Kms = 62K miles, plus cars cost more in Canada (user or new), not sure why.

That equates to about an $11-12,000 RX8 down here in US, which is good price for 63K mile minter, especially with all the options.

But when you consider the Canadian dollar is now equal to the US, you should have imported one from Florida (salt and pot-hole free)

Post pics when you can.

Well... this car was stored every winter, so it never saw snow or salt... if you don't look at the mileage, it looks like new...

And, I really don't know if it's a GS or GT...

I don't have navigation, sunroof, leather seats... so I guess I got the GS trim line???

Thanks for looking!

Looks like it's the touring trim to me. The GT has leather and a sunroof. Pics look great BTW.
