Just joined the RX8 club!!

I just purchased 2005 RX8 Grand Touring, 51000 miles for $8700.. Rebuilt title (previous front fender, rim, and bumper damage). The interior is very very perfect and it runs great. I had the vehicle inspected and it was a flawless inspection report. My girlfriend is getting a 2005 black cherry shinka auto with 84,000 miles for 10,000 . is that a good deal, I personally think its ok but not that great of a price.. The shinka is in very mint condition thought so im still trying to decide if she should get it.

hello, surfing the site just thought I'd say welcome. I have the 2008 sport, stock. Sometimes still have to pinch myself that I have it. One thing that just amazes me, you'll have to see if the same happens to you, is that I can not believe how bad I still geek out on this site, pictures and youtube about the RX, and I actually HAVE one!! cheers.

I would tell your girlfriend to keep looking. Maybe she can find one with less miles. And congrats on your purchase.
