Hello!



I'm new to the forum as you can see.

After doing some serious research I narrowed down my choices to the rx8 or the s2000 (pre 04).

But in reality (well for me anyways) the s2000 was not a very logical choice.

So on friday I was driving to the bank to deposit my check and I saw this 04 rx8 GT at the local Mazda dealer, in a gorgeous blue.


Then I saw the price tag.


So I checked it out and test drove it, and gave everything a good look over.


It only had 40,010 on it, and they wanted 18 flat so I said hell yea i'll take it!


The rest is history I guess...


(I don't have a camera so my brother thought it would be a cool idea(I think they are cheesy) if he used his camera to take pictures of me infront of it and inside etc but I only got 2 of the pics =/ )

 

Congratulations! A Winning Blue Rx8 does look really nice. I can see that you are trying not to show your excitement from getting your Rx8

 

Congrats. Welcome. But I do like Pose #1 instead. Very serious with the hand on the chin.

 

Have fun with it!

 

Welcome and search!, OK now that thats out of the way great color!

 

Looks very nice, winning blue is one of the best colors. Although 18k for 40k miles is a bit much for an 04'. i just purchesed my 04' for 15k and it had 41k miles on it.

 

Congrats.....

Driving has now become a blast.

 

congrats on the purchase. 40k miles is not a lot, especially for a engine like the rotary. Make sure all the recalls have been done by going to your local mechanic.......if they haven't been completed, get them done asap (covered by Mazda...no cost to you).

 

WB is the fastest, but I know a lot of VR owners will argue about that. Congrat.!

 

What he paid and you paid sound about right. Just depends on the condition of the car and what dealer you goto. Shop around. I'll be getting a 2nd 8 soon

 

I got it from this brand new mazda dealer in temecula ca.

they did everything up on it

everything that wears out is new (pads, tires, clutch) and i looked under the car and everything looks fantastic, looks brand new , who ever had this before me sure did take care of it, i'll be doing the same. =] (maybe a little circuit action >_> <_< )

 

s2000 > rx8

 

Congrats and welcome to the club.
Maybe you could add location to your profile.
Are you planning any mods?

 

congrats and welcome!

 

yea most likely just stage 1 stuff for now. (i mean in the comming months)


and problably a set of OZ superleggeras

id like to get an indash put in the car but the audio/hvac controls are all on one spot so i dunno about that.

 

love at first sight? congrats and welcome.

 

RX8's rock!! Welcome...

 

Hope you enjoy the new whip. Take it on some twisties the first chance you get.

read and guess right what my whp is going to be and you got one.

 

Nice! congrats on the the ride...I'm sure you'll love it.

 

Everything in Cali is more expensive, I got the same remarks from out of state friends regarding my RX8. I found an 04 Cheaper it was around $17,500 but it had over 50K miles and no warranty left.

 

Oh yeah congrats. Now this weekend you want to go to the mountain nearest you and scare yourself with the cornering abilities of your Rex. And don't be afraid to run the needle to the red for a good time

 

im thinking of going through ortega highway on saturday


but theres a 3 mile section thats under construction and that = long stop and go driving.

 

Congrats. Hope all the recalls were completed first though.
