RX8 possible purchase?

I am looking at a new 2010 RX8 Sport list price $27,300

I can get it for $21,600

Good deal?

With good All Season tires can I get around in 1 - 3 inches of snow?

Thanks

thats a pretty good price on that rx8. I would really look into it.


Honestly your best thing to do is get a nice set of wheels w/ summer tires on them.

And use the stockers with Blizzaks during the winter. Some good All Season can do the trick if their consistantly plowed roads. But there is still a good chance of loosing traction with just all season tires.

The sport model does not have traction or stability control? I would think that would make a big difference in the rain or snow? Anyone experience this?

uhm thats not a shinka. Originally released as Black Cherry.

Shinka returned for 2006 as a production trim package, now available in Copper Red, Galaxy Grey, and Whitewater Pearl. Only 1500 were made in 2006. It didn't come in Brilliant Black.

Good price, but you need dedicated snow tires.

To answer your orginal question, yes that would appear to be a very good deal using the information from

btw, 2006 shinka's all have the cream (or parchment as you said) leather/suede combo with matching door inserts, chrome radio accents, chrome headlight accents, shinka on the door pillar, billstein (spelling?) shocks, etc.... they come in galaxy grey, copper red, brilliant black, and white. the 2005 shinka only came in black cherry.

hope this helps

Plus cornholio has a build date and all the signs of a shinka in his photo album (not that i was creeping or anything lol).
