I'd say get the second one (with the red leather seats).....because it is the grand touring and it has less miles than the other.

well same thing, 50 50

test drove both, were the exact same, but the grand touring has scratches and paint chips :/
looked liked someone rubbed sand paper over the door, and threw 2 rocks at it :/

oh and the touring one is apparently a turbocharged 5 speed :P

i was joking, thats what was in the description, it didnt have a turbo, didnt sound like it, and didnt feel like it did just like when its advertised with a v6 or something. no idea whats really in the car.

Yeah, I saw an ad saying it was a 3Cyl 280HP w/great gas mileage 2door.

Called the guy and asked why he was selling it and he hung up right away.

If i HAD to pick one of the two, i'd say the second...although you need to get them down in price. That's a little steep IMO. Neither have nav or the appereance package on them, making them a little on the steep side.

actually it's not...cuz if you were helping them that you're implying that it's a requirement that they buy you a car instead of them being nice and getting you one.

No one likes a spoiled brat hehe

I say the first one...the price is REAL nice, and it looks great. Unless you NEED leather and the rest of the GT package...

Go to a local club meet. Find out what the RX8 is all about. What to look for, then make an intelligent choice.

We all have Axxholes, just like opinions.

lol im only 20 so the dealer automatically assumes they can screw me, however i daytrade in the stock market and am very finance savy. After the deal was over the head of the used sales department (who i was dealing with because the other salesmen couldnt keep up) Said "holy **** son, i dont know how you did it but i dont think im going to make money off of this deal.... Would you like a job here?" lol, but overall im very happy with my purchase and being in Texas the leather seats only hurt and im not complaining for the price i paid.

I'd get the second one. 30K miles less and $3000 more. That's basically 2 years of ownership.
