I picked this up yesterday. 2004, Galaxy Grey, 20,000 miles, every option that really matters except navi, $19,500. How did I make out? Apparently the owner updated a lot of the faulty electronics to 2006. I'm not exactly sure what the issues were on the 2004's but i guess they're fixed.

Looks good. It all depends on the market you're in. I love the red and black interior. I picked up my 04 8 with 6spd mt and 47,850 miles for $16,988. I also got the Titanium Gray Metalic with the Grand touring pkg. Congrats on your new ride.

Good deal for the mileage. I traded in my 04 gto because it was a boat. Was able to get 04 winning blue 6 speed GT with only 20334 miles for 17000.

You sure it's not Titanium Grey Matalic? Sure as hell looks to be it..............look closely, if it has silver specs in the paint then it is metalic and thus Titanium Grey. Nice ride though and congrats!

Congrats on the car, you picked a nice color.

Good luck with your future mods. Just a suggestion, start with clear corners...

Thats a steal. I looked at one for $14,500 that had 50k miles but I wanted really low miles. Anything around 20k miles was $18-23k so I figured go for the middle. I didnt have many to choose from so I think I made out alright.

We were happy with the price... I dont think he realized that he had a GT. Car is in great shape too. We are glad we passed up the high mileage RX8 for $13,000 though because the wait yielded us this car.

How often should you redline?

How much fun are you having ?

1. Ummm... I think you should check it once every other year, or when the low oil light comes on.

2. NEVER redline, the motor hates redlines, only greenlines are good.

3. Not much fun, the wife drives the car

Did I pass?
