2005-2008 Shinka/40th anniversary edition
 

Looking for Shinka or 40th anniversary rx8 that has been treated well. My wwp Rx8 is currently in the process of being totaled by insurance, so i'm looking for a new one! I'm willing to travel to pick up.

Check craigslist for harrisonburg va. 05 shinka for 9990

Thanks Roonsrx, just replied to the craigslist listing.

Guy may have sold it today. Been emailing but I've got 2 1g and no room right now. Good luck with it.

https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...0134d51e47.jpgNote for all 40th Anniversary Edition Owners,

One very low mileage one went for $42,250 USD at MS Classic Cars Auction in 2021: https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2008-mazda-rx-8-8/

State Farm Insurance is now the majority owner of Hagerty Classic Car Insurance. My State Farm Agent just ran it by their Hagerty underwriters and my 2008 40th Anniversary Edition RX8 is now insured as a classic car by State Farm for a full value of $50,000 USD with no depreciation. And as a classic car now, my insurance premium was cut in half. It is garaged and isn't my daily driver, as I own other cars.

FYI, my 40th Anniversary Edition (bought new in 2008) came with the Mazda body kit with front spoiler, side skirts and rear wing, and has less than 15,000 miles on its second engine. (I got the free under-warranty reman engine from Mazda after 65,000 miles on the original engine).

Some of the mods on mine:
Mazdaspeed Cold Air intake;
Second-gen BHR high performance Ignition coils and wires;
Series Two fuel pump
Performance CAT and midpipe from Rotary Performance of Garland, Texas
Koyo hyper-v-core radiator upgrade, and closed aluminum cooling system upgrade from Pettit Racing with Racing Beat hoses.
Cooling fan low temp control kit
Mazmart Re-medy upgraded water pump, and low temp thermostat
Upgraded starter
BHR reinforced clutch pedal
Rotary Performance low temp oil cooler thermostats.
All recalls done, and a few other things on the mechanical side.

Some other stuff:
Aluminum Fender strakes
Mazda factory RX8 Sirius-XM Radio kit
Mazda RX8 spare tire kit
Continental High Performance Tires

Your 40th Anniversary Edition may be your daily driver and may or may not qualify for Classic Car Insurance, but it is worth a look. Beats having it only worth a 15-year depreciated value.

Cheers and best to all fellow 40th Anniversary Edition owners

Really reaching there with a 10 year old thread. Respect ✊. Had to sell my 04 off this site because it's moderated by weirdos and won't let you post your car as a "newbie" even though I've been reading off this site since I was in highschool @ it's genesis. Jokes aside, beautiful car and best of luck with the sale

Not sure if you meant me or not, but I have no interest in selling my 2008 40th Anniversary Edition. But it is nice to now have it insured as a classic car for a full $50,000 USD with no depreciation. Beats the 15-year depreciated insured value of 10-15K otherwise for a 2008 RX8.

Cheers and best you.

Wow
 

Ok I understand now. I didn't read it correctly. That's impressive. I remember the one that sold with the link you provided. I feel like these cars are extremely undervalued.
