shouldn't it be your parents helpin you pay for it? after all, it is your car right?

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.

always.anthony

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

second!

I didn't think that Mazda sold a 5-speed manual in the US...

It was a 5 speed turbo and you say they were the same? 0_o Crack is bad, very bad.

always.anthony

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.

Rems31

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

CyberPitz

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.

DarkLord7854

I'd take the touring

The second one if the parents are helping to pay. Less mileage, leather int (for me thats what i go for)

i got my 05 6spd touring (NO DSC) with 35k miles on it for 12,500 and im in Dallas Texas. However im very very good at getting the price down

CyberPitz

Where were you when I bought my car? lol

greg985

ummm....you dont have a touring if you dont have DSC

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.

Ok then i have the sport model.... Whatever i have its the base 6-spd. (nothing loaded lol)

CyberPitz

That's what I have. Was never a sucker for leather...

dschreiner

there are def. better deals out there. dont rush the sale. use kbb.com to make sure you are getting the most car for your money

bruce_van

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