since the 05 's came out you can buy an 04 for really cheap.there use to be only 4-5 rx8's in town .saturday while driving around i saw around 10.this sucks no i'm just blend in with the rest of the traffic.

 

So go out and personlize your 8 with some wheels or window tint or what have ya. Make it diffrent than stock and make it your own. :D

It was bound to happen its not a limited production car.

 

This has happened to me too. I don't own one yet but now I can't go a day without seeing atleast one. On the weekend it's worse. In Wesley Chapel it is getting ridiculous.

 

Where's Wesley Chapel?

I was somewhere sometime in my 8. I remember it was dark.

 

Just north on the Veterans. I was looking at houses during the weekends for 3 weeks. I had to have seen about 4 a day. All with different rims. Pretty soon they will be as popular as Camrys. Lately in Tampa I have seen mostly AT's with women drivers. Not too many MT's around.

 

well it happens with all good things, just be happy that you were able to enjoy your car first. And if you run into one of these people on the street share some of your knowledge and point them towards this sight. Myself I see another rx8 every two days and my neighbor is thinking of getting one since he loved the way mine handled.

 

i just hate to see a 30k car get striped down to a 24k car. then our resale value drops

 

I wonder if mazda is losing money selling them for 24K?

 

Another reason why the third gen RX-7 is and always will be the superior rotary.

I NEVER see one outside of a club meet.

 

hmm, I see quite a few driving in and around toronto.

 

No matter how much they lower the price, we will never see an over abundance of the 8s in NY. This type of car sells much better in warmer climates than here.

 

How can you tell? Because the MTs may not stand on the brakes at a red light???

 

The 8 is the rotary for women and men with kids.

 

And the 7 is the rotary for middle-aged fat guys with small dicks and Member's Only jackets.

 

Face it, the 8 is a soccer mom sports car becasue it has back seats.

 

Usually. And the fact they have both hands on the whell when they take off from a light.

 

why not have an 8 and a 7? it has crossed my mind repeately over the past week or so

 

Its sort of the same as the sports car and the minivan for people hauling. Great concept.

 

ive had my 8 now for over 1 year and ive only had someone in the back seat maybe 5-7 times.so i didnt buy this car for the back seat although it does help your insurance rate.how many menbers bought there 8 for the back seat .i hope they quite making the 8 in 06.then it will be worth alot more later.

 

I was curious as to how someone can tell from a distance whether someone is driving a MT or an AT. Wheel size? Or can you get the sport package on the AT?

 

I have no idea rom far away. I would guess only by the way the car was driving. Wait a few through gears and see how the car sounds or reacts

 

I enjoyed my time with Rx8 when it was the next best thing, and not readily seen. Those days are gone, and we have to accept the fact that it was a mass produced sports car. Rebates or not, they made a ton of this car in 04, so it was inevitible. If you wanted to have a rare car, you picked the wrong automobile.

 

The car is a no-show in NYC.

You notice what you are interested in.
You have a blue car, and all of a sudden, there's ten blue cars on your way to work!
You buy a Ducati because it's unique, and then you see a Monster on every corner.

I pretended that I had the RX months before my old lease was up, and I still only saw one other RX8 in Brooklyn. It's a Winning Blue that works on McDonald Ave near ave U. (are you out there??)

I drive 15,000 miles a year around the boroughs, and the car is RARE.

That's a good thing.

 

Give it time. I work right outside of NYC in NJ, and before winter hit I started seeing them abundantly. On that one teaser 65 degree spinrg day we had a few days ago, I saw three on way to work and back. Some of us will not see this car in abundance, some of us will. Considering how many were made, as a a whole it is not rare, but depending on where you live, you'll still may not see them very often. Eventually, those of us who live in highly populated areas, will begin to see all those leftover 04 models that sat at dealerships touring the roads. That isn't such a bad thing is it? It makes our country look better.

 

There are not a lot in NY and I don't think there will be. This kind of car does well in warmer climates. Down south & on the west coast you probably see them all over the place. Just take a look at where most of the club members are from.
