Let me be the first and start an OFFICIAL 40th Anniversary Edition Owners list

Evolv - Winnipeg. MB

 

Traded my 01 Cobra conv. for the anniversary edition and it was the
greatest trade i've ever made.

 

Looks good.

 

Looks great.

I still have yet to see anyone with a 40th Anniv. post some nice/big interior pics showing off the good looking interior...

 

Congrats and welcome to the darkside...

 

Nice. I checked out one at my dealership last sat while having oil change done. I like the brownish red leather. The rims are hot. Grey looks great too. 0% financing here. Likely some discountst too. Congrats!

 

i like my new anniversary edition here.

 

I love mine, this is my second rotary, my first was a rx4

 

New 40th ed. owner here from NH.

I'm curious what others have paid and how competitive dealers are with 8's.. I picked mine up for $28,549 ..total msrp was $34,349 with options, FST, SAT, STR, 2RP & 2AP

This seems to be right around invoice. Apparently Mazda dealers are willing to give a good price (in my area) if you walk in their prepared... I walked in with a list of every 40th ed. vehicle in stock within 100miles, which you can do off mazda.com, and a spreadsheet of expected invoice cost.

Hopefully that info is of use to some prospective rx-8 owner.

Anywho, very happy with my 8 (the 2RP, 2AP and the 40th ed. rims really set the 8's looks off) and the amount of information on this site.
I started off looking at the new bmw 128/135i's, yawn.. to much panache, i don't need my farts pumped outside by some technowidget...not to mention its impossible to get a deal.

 

UK spec looks different to US two tone grey interiors neat spoiler on boot (trunk) and no sunroof
OH!! and the fools put the steering wheel on the wrong side!!

 

I love that red interior.

 

Thoswe interiors are sweet! I think it would look a little better if the wheels were a bit darker though

 

Yeah the R3 wheels would be sick.

 

congrats on the car man. i got the same one here...paid 30k canadian for it. it was a clearance of old stock. only driven 58km. i love it so much...working on gettin a real MS kit for it..just gotta collect some more money for it.

Love the interior, that's pretty damn awesome seats right there. I sat in one at my local dealership and looked much better in person.

 

I have a 40th as well.

Winston Salem, NC

 

Whoa! Didn't know the 40AE has struts for the hood!!!

 

posted these before but i love showing it off..

 

the last of the good looking production 8s

as the R3 is full of fail.

 

the white one has rear parking sensors!

 

shush don't tell anyone !!

 

Bought mine in November of 2008, for $26,000 brand new. Located in NH and haven't seen any other 40ae's yet.

 

Glad someone put a good 40th thread up here. I got mine in April this year(09) MAZDA and dealer were giving great deals and could not resist. I drove an 09 Grand Touring, a used 40th from S Barber school that a local dealer picked up and was an automatic (what a waste) and found the one I was waiting for near Rochester.My hat is off to the dealer for the care and interest the salesman had in making sure this was the one that fit me. No better feeling on a Sunday morning after playing 18 to just hit it and go. I am in upstate NY with lots of good back and curvy roads and it just is a blast to drive!! I am trying to keep it simple and stock with some minor additions with oil cooler screens, rear grill pack, flaps and most likely to add exhaust well chromes and that should do it. Hope every owner enjoys as much as I enoy this gem. Don't forget there is only 1000 USA models so keep that in mind.
Here's to a head turning car!!! It will be sad to put it away when winter arrives then life becomes boring again

 

to possibly throw in a suggestion, maybe start a registry for teh 40AE. i started a registry on rx7club some couple years back for the 10AE. i'm a proud 88 10AE owner so i felt the list would be something good to have. we list the last 7 digits of our vins numerically and add our names and state. perhaps you guys would find it interesting to do the same. here is our list:
