New RX-8 owner!

Just bought a 04 RX-8 today, white, manual and only 23K miles. It was a one owner car, picked it up from a nissan dealership. They were asking $15900 cdn, got it for $13,000 taxes in with winter tires and a year warrenty on my tires.
I pick it up tomorrow, im excited! Im going to take it into mazda to see which recalls have been done to it and to make sure my engine has the latest software in it, other than that I cant wait!

I just wanted to say hey to everyone, looks like a great forum with tons of useful info

Great color! Hope you got the manual for it. If not you can dn/ld it on line. Read the "Sticky" and ask questions. You have a lot of fun ahead!

Great color choice. Priced a little high in my opinion. I bought my 2005 WWP 8 three years ago with 33,000 miles for $13,000. Good luck with it and be sure to do your research.

The market for used cars is pretty different from US to Canada. Everything is priced higher in Canada even though the dollar is pretty much on par. Most RX-8's here are priced from 15,000-20000 for one with low kms so I got a pretty good deal. Here is my car with winter tires on it..I can't wait for spring...
