bought my first RX-8

today i picked up my first RX-8. its almost exactly what i wanted. i really wanted the touring package, but took the sport because it had basically everything i wanted, save for the moonroof...but i can live without that. its brilliant black, has the wonderful 6spd, black cloth interior, and rear spoiler. mileage is 30K. car was $12,900. so far, no known problems. i am very pleased with the car. i've waited SOOO long to own an RX-8 and i couldnt be happier. here's one pic from my phone that i took. i'll post more tomorrow when i can take pics in the daylight.

kevintsai6977, to answer your question, i tried to buy a new one in 04....no such luck. i've been searching fro the right deal since and i'm at a point in my life where i have a good job, i own a home, i've got a wonderful wife and daughter, and a son due any day..sure it was a spurt of the moment purchase but what is life without being spontanius..too predictable and thats not how i live.

here are two quick pics i just took of the interior:





more to come tomorrow.

i remember when the RX-EVOLV came out. i remember having a poster of it on the wall by my bed..i was probably 17 or 18..can't remember but what i do know is that i do not know where the poster is nor any of my bedside RX-7 posters and test sheets. i might have to go to my parents house today and do some hunting.at any rate i thought the price was fair..its just a shame that most of my car collection has to go. i've got a handful of RX-7's to sell, a 92 Camry SE V6 5spd, a 95 Ranger, two parts cars, one FC one FB, and a HUGE overstock of RX-7 parts...i just want to pay the car off.

i've never owned a warranty with any 7 i've bought so this is a first for me. i've been driving the car ALL day...i cant stay out of it. i figured that i'd give it a rest for a bit. i washed the car earlier and it looks terrible due to the road dirt but i decided to take the pics anyways. here are a few more of the car:

majority of 8 owners have clear corners, I think the amber side markers look like crap. Amber markers are for the US only

the only thing i really dont care for is the front license plate bracket....but here in ohio, its against the law to drive a vehicle without a front plate...so i'm stuck with it. i could remove it but when i drove it to work (i'm a police officer) i'm thikning someone might say something...not so good, lol.

after a closer inspection under the hood today, it appears as if the dealer has not performed the 30K mile service as they had advised that they did. i'll be calling them in the morning.

Congratulations! Your RX8 looks great. I will recommend a set of Rotary Accent insert on your front and rear bumper if you are not going to change your body kit. Perahps upgrading your interior to leather since you are going to drive it to work every day...Also, it will be great to drop in a new K&N air filter replacement if you stay with the stock air intake. Have fun with your new toys. Happy holidays...

Congrats! Since you got the side appearance package side skirts, maybe the matching spoiler extension?
