40th anniversary Edition
40th Anniversary Editions now reach Classic Car status
Note 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
