The interior is definitely one of the best:rock:

But the Metropolitan Gray Mica is such a unique paint color as well!

Great Choice, beautiful car, but I am biased also. What is your mileage, is it showroom new, or slightly used ?

Bought mine new in 2009, 48,000 miles and still loving it. My second one as I had a 2004.
Keep you oil changed and other maintenance requirements.

Nice mate..

Love the 40th rims in bright paint, same style my S2 (they are std gray paint), I wish I had the 40th rims on my 8...

My MX-5 has this "exclusive" bright painted 17" only used on the 1,500 2011 SE made...
Then there is 'black paint' on the limited Sport Black MX-5's of this year.

I also like the 40th wheels :)

Unfortunately, mine have seen better days. The first owner of the car apparently didn't know how to park, and the wheels already had some scratches and rash when I bought the car. Nothing too terrible, but they are not perfect anymore.

It didn't stop me from buying the car though;)

Very nice! Congrats.

It's got <32K on it. It's almost like new in appearance. I've found one spot where someone had a pen and hit the seat. Haven't tried yet but I'm pretty sure I can get ink off leather.

Bought it at Carmax actually (I've seen the other posts - but the alternative was driving a few hundred miles to go get one). Carmax will transfer for you. So as soon as this one hit the site, I had it on the truck to bring into Louisiana. Plus with Carmax, the bank uses sticker as the value for the LTV ratio, so I was able to hold on to cash for Christmas. Paid a bit of $18k plus ttl + $349 to truck it in.

Ahh another member of the very exclusive Jeep+RX-8 owners group. Post pics of the Jeep if you still have it, preferably next to the 8!

Congrats and welcome! You didn't happen to buy it through CarMax, did you? If so, I think I test drove your car in Houston about a month ago before picking up my own BB 2006 GT. That 40th is a great car!

EDIT: Sorry - posted before reading the thread. You did get it from CarMax! That's the car that won my wife over to getting an RX-8! It was just a few $ more than we were willing to spend. Enjoy it. :-)

Don't think it was the same one. This one was purchased by Carmax in Norcross, GA roughly 2 weeks ago from a couple in Tennessee. The day it went through their inspection and became available I transferred it to Baton Rouge. They never even had a chance to finish listing it before I had it on the truck...

Sold it. Had a 2010 JKU Islander w/6 speed MT, & ORH whisper top (and a few $K in other stuff). JEEP = Just Empty Every Pocket. It was my daily driver and limited what I could do. Now planning on getting an older project to play on... like a CJ.
