So I was originally looking for a 4 door car that got decent gas mileage, had some power, and would be a reasonable daily commuter. I ended up with an 06 PBM 6 SPD Base Model. I got the car for 12k with 19k miles on the odometer. Extremely clean with only 1 noticeable dent. The carfax came back clean and the car is extremely smooth. I'll try to get some pics up later, but I was just curious if this is the steal I thought it was. KBB says the cars are worth 18 to 19k, but doesn't look like any are moving at that price.

Might want to confirm transferable warranty. Otherwise it's a steal, lol. I know someone who just spent 20k on an auto.. lol. Had 22k on the odo and he thinks he got a deal. Sounds good, what color is it? Prolly Ti greay right?

Sounds like a great deal. I think you've just benefitted from the crashed economy. You won't get decent gas mileage, but gas prices are way down because of the crashed economy, so that's not such a big deal.

Makes one wonder why they're trying to fix the economy.

Welcome to the club.

Read the stickies in the tech section.

please go to a local RX8 club meet. Go the the correct regional thread.

Ask them all the questions otherwise you will get flamed for not searching this website for answers.

You can post a picture in the MM section.

I do have State Farm. I was amazed how cheap everything worked out to be. Ended up with a 12k loan no money down at 3.99%. Then checked insurance on it, and full coverage for 6 months is 467. They must be classifying this as a 4 door 1.3 liter with a bunch of safety features. I bought this as a fun way to establish credit history...
