Looking at 05 RX-8 MT 3800 miles for $19K, good deal?

I am looking at a 2005 RX-8 MT with 3800 miles. Silver with black interior. No options. Completely base and stock. Original owner bought in Feb. 06. Asking $19K obo.

Is this a good deal? Thank you!

Sorry if this is the wrong forum.

Completely base and stock. Would like to change out factory speakers though.

that's actually not too bad a deal for a slightly used '05, see if you can nudge it down a bit more, or have them throw in some freebies (if it's at a mazda dealer)

I have yet to look at it. If it fits the bill, I'm going to try to get it down to $18.5K. It's a private seller so can't get any freebies.

Thanks!

Yep new from dealer, only options were sport package, appearance package and rotary accents. Paid 22 out the door brand new from a dealer in San Antonio after calling 20+ dealers in TX to find the best deal.

The RX-8 is a great car, but I think it really is a buyer's market for these vehicles. No offense to sellers.

Probably a base model, not that great of a deal. 21 for a sport with a few options is about right+TTL of course.
