There are many packages available for the RX-8. I bought a used 2004 yesterday and I have no idea what options are on it. All I know is that it kicked serious ***, and was a no-brainer for $22K.

Any help? Is there a VIN lookup tool or some sort of "RX-8 for dummies" list?

 

Compared to a G35 the options list on an RX-8 is minimal. Go to www.mazdausa.com and look at the 2006 options / packages, other than colors not much as changed. For example if you have a moon-roof you do not have a base. Same goes for 18” wheels and the HID headlights.

 

yeah, what he said. "search and you shall find "

 

i wanna know this for the 04 model.

 

the 04 model options are the same as the 05

 

Ngorx8 is the man just so everyone knows. He knows his stuff and has helped me many times with my noob questions. Thanks man, ur an asset to the site.

 

scott i am not going to sugar coat this for you...

it is not rocket surgery here...... i am just the sense of reality going.... do you look at anything?

simple

in you have a 6 speed, going to guess you do.....

what you are going to yell at me with all the info you have given?

if you have fog lights. you have a sport....

if you have cloth seats and a moonroof you have a touring model...

if you have leather seats and a moonroof you have a grand touring model.

and if you paid 22k for it and you have no idea what options are on it you are an idiot.....

sorry wake up call for life....

if you have shiny triangles on the front back, you have the rotary accent package.

If you have a small ground effect under that shiny triangle the same color as your car, you have the front air dam. If you have pieces like it in front of and behind your rear wheels as well, you have the appearance package.

If you have a trunk spoiler, that's an option too. So is a spare tire, and chrome vent strakes.

 

Well, I worded my question wrong, so I have no problem with people calling me an idiot.

My question was answered regarding the packages i.e., the 2006 packages are the same as the 2004 packages. Some options are available for all or some packages on an indivudual basis. So it seems I have the RX-8 6 Speed with the Grand Touring Package and some additional options (rotary accent, leather, moonroof, Bose stereo, rear spoiler, and appearance package).

Regarding my spending $22K for something that I didn't know all about, it's easy for me. It was the blue book value for a base model with leather seats alone link and because it was either that or a 1989 Porsche 928 for the same price. So while I may not have gotten the best deal and may not have known *exactly* what I was getting, I knew I was getting a kick *** car for what was a reasonable price to me.

Thanks all for the info, I can be less of an idiot now.

 

sounds like you did well.... where in cen fla are you????

base model with leather seats would have to be aftermarket leather

 

base 05 6spd's come with 18in wheels.

True. Should have read more and posted less.

But then again, I have an RX-8 in my driveway and most of the world doesn't. So there!

 

You did Ok, does it have side mirrors and heated seats? Silver or black battery covers?

 

It has heated seats (why I turned them on in 90 degree heat yesterday is because they were there ). The engine covers are black. Does that make a difference?

 

heated seats is GT

 

Call MazdaUSA with the VIN number. They should be able to help ya.
