Exclamation Rx-8 Decision Shinka or 40th

well as some of u read a few months ago i totally abolished my 06 shinka off a cliff in january, now ive been looking for a new SE 8 to replace my old one

so im in a pickle here

its between

a 06 shinka i found for 19000 msrp with 25000 miles.

or

a 40th anniversary ive talked the price down a little below 30000.
but im really aiming for 28000.

sooo i test drove the 40th anniv. and i gotta say the interior is amazing and so are the rims , the shifter is diffrent than my old shinka in the fact its alot shorter ,i like it.


but the 06 shinka ive always LOVED the cream interior and for the price tag it has is less than what i got my old shinka for and im sure it can be brought down .

im gonna go see the shinka tomorrow

i wanna know your guys' opinion.

aside from me not deserving another 8


cause god knows ive heard that alot on here

and i thought about waiting for the 09and realized i dont really like how it looks like . nor do i wanna pay the new price tag that the dealers will shove on it and how stubborn they will be about lowering it. ( not a fan of the new look, since theres no real changes in the motor not to excited about it)

wait, u talked the price for the 40th for $30k out the door?

****, pick it up in a heartbeat dude. if you don't like the interior, you'll easily find someone like me who'll do a straight swap with you. i love the cosmo red interior!
though mine is practically new too... its still nice VR on red/blk.

the 40th is unique, but in every sense still another shiinka with different rims.

o dont get me wrong . i Love the interior on the 40th also ,

but the reason why im thinking about it so much is the HUGE price gap..
ive talked it down to like 29200

its like... 275-350 a monthfor the shinka. or 600. = C.

if the gap was smaller like lets say 450 -500 for the 40th then id go with the 40th but since the gap is so huge i wanna know ppl's opinion 2 c if other people think its worth it.

Get the Shinka price down as planned and go for it. Too much money for the relatively minor "40th edition" add-ons. The Shinka has all you want.
