yeah just as a reference I could pick up a NEW Shinka for $26.5K out the door....

 

Ill give you 15 cash. lol if your willing to accept.

 

RX8 resale value is in the pooper. I can pick up brand new RX8 for 24k.

 

I saw an ad for a Shinka with low miles going for like $24.5K.

 

You're definitely NOT going to get t hat price. I sell custom built RX-8's with a turbo in there for that much already w/ the bells and whistles. LOL, you may want to drop the price to around 21,000 man. This would sell at that price. Actually, you'd be lucky to get if even that!

 

ricky perhaps you should tone back the rhetoric. you've been here for 3 posts and all have been negative towards the seller. find something else to talk about

 

It's not negative, I'm, just trying to help them sell it faster. I sell cars too and sure we'd like to overprice these things but we also need that sale. So, yea, it's more help than anything.

 

yes you sell cars and turbo cars etc etc etc .. you have 4 posts and i have 3 complaints. take your comments to some other coversation.

 

LOL!!!!

 

I guess the Shinka that the guy as selling for 24.5K was sold. Not sure the final price.

 

edmunds.com is a more accurate price, imo. 05 Shinka with 12,000 miles is worth $25,092 for a private party seller.

good luck

 

Agree that people should be using Edmunds.com for pricing over KBB. And even then, Edmunds still is higher than going rates.

 

Yeah, edmunds.com pricing is quite off from the real prices. KBB is a freakin joke.

 

If you are in So Cal, I think I bought the one you saw.

 

That was mine, 2005 Shinka, 17500 miles. Sold it in Lincoln Nebraska...to the Mazda tech at the local dealer. No hassle, sold it at 23K. The dealer has a consignment program...for $150 bucks, they will sell the car and they make at least $695 profit. Dropped it off Monday, had a buyer Wednesday.

I used both KBB and NADA for my value estimates...NADA was right on with what the dealer told me.

I had a used car dealer initially offer 21K and then said his boss bought a 05 Shinka with 800 miles at auction for 18K...so his final offer was 18K.

Bottom line, sell it for what you think you can get. That is capitalism...supply and demand. If you're gonna tell somebody they'll never get that price, take your money else where. If you're not looking to buy, hold your piece. While it is helpful to offer what the going rate for an 8 is in your area, do it in a respectful manner.
