Hey all, I plan on purchasing an RX-8 here in the next couple of weeks. I have wanted one for quite some time now. Their is one imparticular that I have my eyes on. I just wanted some honest opinions about the price. It is an 06' Shinka MT with 42,000 miles on it and it has a very good service history. Like the every 3000 mile service, never been missed. The dealer wants $14,984 for it. I live in Indiana and cars have been tough to sell off of lots and also winter is fast approaching. Do you think $14,500 is a reasonable offer or should I start lower? I know that these cars are a niche market and also january tax time is coming up for the dealer. Any and all suggestions would be great. I'm going for the test drive in 2 days. The reason I ask is, I know these vehicles are hard to sell due to the high maintenance nature of the rotary. It takes a special kind of person to buy one. I'm ok with taking care of my car like its my child and spending a little extra money on maintenance to acheive the driving experience this car delivers. Thanks again, Kyle

 

I would start my offers at 12500 with the expectations of paying 13500. But as close to 12500 you can get. Then TTL on top of that of course.

 

yeah they are a super hard sell. And they know it. Start low...
