When the rx8 was released, what kind of price point did it have? Most of the older ones now cost like 3 to 5 grand. I'm just curious on the whole depreciation value.

 

LMGTFY

 

I paid 30k sticker for my 2004 Touring. Around here you can get a clean 2004 GT for $2500.00. Maybe a little more if you show the buyer compression numbers.

 

 

That new car feature list was a fun read haha. That's crazy how much depreciation there is.


I tried to google it before posting. I didn't know what keywords to search. I was searching "2004 rx8 release price" and that didn't help me.

 

searching massage parlor release price isnt nearly as depressing as rx8 release price considering what it costs now

 

What were those $2000 and $4000 upgrades?

 

 

I paid $25k in 2005 for a base manual 6 spd, no options

 

I paid $17.5k in late 2008 for my 2005 no-option base model.

Oh, and

 

Paid $10,500 for a 2004 in 2007 with the everything except nav.

 

I'm the second owner, bought it 5 years ago from a dealer, it was a trade-in.
Pristine condition, 18,500 miles, $14k.
That's about a 2300 mile a year average.
Found out shortly after it had a bad cat from a bad coil.
Been DD'ing it ever since except for snow/slushy roads, over 72k miles now, still running good, but with failing compression which I attribute to driving it for the first 5 months with the bad cat.
That was before I joined the club here and found out how fragile the Renesis is.

 

I bought mine for 22K in 2007. Car is a 2005 and had 8900 miles on it and was $31K new.

Mine has been a DD ever since - 80,000 miles on it now, original engine. The engine has hot start issues now and probably needs a replacement.

 

Ooh Mazda was quoting 238-hp on that engine. Those were the days....

 

I gots a cat delete, mines must be 250HP.
