I bought an 05' rx8 with low low miles at a ridiculous price. Turbo coming up!

Fun car nonetheless!

15.7k only person in the lane at the time because a 760li came out so it drew enough attention to sneak in the bid haha

Black book is 20,800 without the 18s the nav, leather which is another 2k added and the car has it all. I still cant get over the price we got it for...

I actually decided against it. Its overall value is depreciating so there was no point. It was leguna seca blue so that was the only reason I was really going for it. I also tried wanted to try this 02' vette but went against that as well. I dunno, the mazda won me over :buttrock

That color is gross. How much did it go for though?

BTW, all cars values are going down... that's how it works with very few exceptions.

I know GReddy has a turbo kit for the RX-8, but what about the Petit Racing's Twin-Screw kit?

Plus, based on what I have read on the RX-8 forums, flooding is still an issue, but strangely enough, the only people with lots of apex seal problems are the guys on boost...

Yea, I was looking into both those kits actually. I am going to wait for some more R&D to go down and hear more from others before decided to go F/I. For now I am gonna go the bolt on road and suspension work. Im loving the car I just got back from driving it. It aint no s/c m3 (I miss it...) but, it has comfort and its a new car with every factory option so it will do.

My friend was being a fucking dipshit and wrecked it. I let him borrow the car and explicitly told him "Not to fuck around in it"

fair warning, right? Well, some people are just pieces of shit and he decided, "Hey, this isnt my car and even though I have it out of generosity i'll go ahead and fuck around in it!"

bamn, totalled. Fucking shit. How much are you asking for it and what condition is it in? Specs? I loved that car...I want it back :(

Is that a public auction or do you need a dealer's license?

It is a dealer auction and you cant even take a spectator to this specific auction. I believe on the normal days the dealer can take a spectator but on exotics it is strictly Dealers. Oakwood up 9-85 is a public auction house but the prices get out of hand there because people bidding like crazy, and the cars are usually pretty beat.

I see e30s go at Oakwood before in the past but you would have to be lucky to get a good price because it is a public auction after all.
