Since you are in the US, yours is not automatic. The automatic climate control is not available in the USA (but the facelifted RX-8 will have it).

Interested pending price. It would have to be a pretty steep discount though

You can't. At least not by just buying the Corksport thingy for auto climate control.

admins say no? some other OEM needs to come out with a setup, like $700 for the fully kitted out one is insane, wonder how much it costs them to make. gotta be a huge profit margin.

Okay guys I got contact and it appears they are willing to offer 10% if we can get 5+ guys to purchase doesn't matter about the options if you check on the site the price will show and you can deduct 10% off that.

However the representative also advised that we can 15% off of the full price for what you need if we can get 10+ people to purchase. So you can calculate 15% off if we can get 10 buyers and 10% if we can get 5.

Let me know what you think guys and please PM me if you are willing to go through with this, either way I'm 100% go since I rather get the 15% off than paying the steep full price, pretty much we get about $70.00 off.

Thanks,
James

So far I have received contact from:

Firebirdude, laythor, tiger football, dimigon, 8xr (myself)

a total of 5 who seem to be serious about purchasing, so we have already hit the 10% mark, now I need 5 more buyers so we can hit the 15% mark. I think if I can arrange 15+ buyers I will be able to get some more percentages back all up to you guys.

I will be awaiting more PMs from definite buyers.

Thank you,
James

So essentially if we go by the figures stated of 5 people 10%, 10 people 15%...if we have 95 people agree to buy it those 95 should essentially get it for free or just the cost of shipping :D even at 15% its still alot to pay for a piece of plastic and some wires. If they did a buy for 50% off they would have more luck, and I doubt they would lose money.

From what I hear, there is little mark up on them. And what's funny is no one seems to figure in the cost of R&D, shipping from Japan, and any selling expenses....

Dont get me wrong.... its damned expensive, but atleast we have an option....

I agree it costs a lot, but can you stand your stock system? I can't stand mine...I need premium sound just not getting it from the current system...dvds in traffic is also a plus.

The website says it's $443. That means the discount of 15% is $66.45. That also means the total would be $376.55. Is this correct?

If you guys can get contact with the direct manufacturer and get a higher discount I am all for it. I just wonder about the cost for shipping from Japan to the States.
