Is this guy crazy?! $25000 for an 04. I can find a brand new R3 for that price.

They look like RE floormats. If they are....each of those floormats go for 50k a piece. The veilside kit, easily another 50k no doubt. The rims another 40k on top of that and the actual car ehhh its about 7k.

Yea that green one with 1500 miles. Garage kept. Good for a collection the price is not a rip off. The economy really bad for collector cars right now. Most collectable vehicle values have gone into the toilet. The materials costs to do restorations is nuts so good rollers are rusting away.

I'd say it's a good car to hold onto to be a collectable in the future maybe. At this point in time it's just a good condition 04. Might as well let dealers charge extra for brand new cars because they're collectors cars.

How does he know it's one of the first 300 built? What VIN did they start with? My 04 may be worth 30k!

I saw a 2007 base Auto for $17999 the other day. Pretty funny considering there was a 2007 BB GT with nice Privat 19" wheels and a spoiler for the same price sitting right next to it. Both had about 40k on them.

I think I saw those 2 on auto trader... or at least something similar. I remember one being marked like $1k more expensive but it was the one with less features and higher miles than the cheaper car... left me wondering if it was a mistake or if there was something wrong with the lower mileage car. I think the lower mileage car might have even been 1 year newer as well.

I saw these at Ancira near Huebner and I went again and now they are both at 16,900 I think. They do have a clean mazdaspeed6 though for 18k

Might not be the same ones I saw then... still similar concept and very counter intuitive. That's not bad deal on the speed6.

Yeah, I recently assisted in helping my GF purchase a 2010 Mazda 3 2.5 Touring and I decided to check on an RX-8 and without much haggling I can get a brand new GT for around $24,000.00.

Another local just bought an immaculate 06' Shinka with like 30,000 on it and a month old rebuilt engine for $15,000.00 financed. I laughed when I saw the current thread on this site for an 04' Touring for $15,999.00.

The Nordic green one is a little high even for being a low mileage rareish car. Its easy to know if you were the original owner which boat your car came on.
