'05 Brilliant Black, 48k checking in.
Just picked it up about 2 weeks ago knowing very little if anything about rotary engines. Taking it to the dealership tomorrow to hopefully get some warranty work done. Unless the guys on HWY 100 suck, but then again it doesn't take much to beat the Hall VW Mazda guys.

04 Velocity Red Grand Touring
Appleton(Darboy)
I seen a Grey one tonight on Calumet and parked next to a grey one behind The Bar on College Ave 2 or 3 times, other than that I rarely see any 8's rolling around the area. Come to think of it I have seen a black one parked at Festival Foods on College, I think they may work there.

Also, I think banks are not willing to give out loans above 100% of KBB or even 90% KBB. Probably in the area of 75%. I had this issue when I refinanced to a 3.9% loan last year. I had to put some money down to make up for the difference. This is a common issue as you guys already know with sports cars with high depreciation. Oh well...that's why I gave up on the resale idea.
