Question about 2 rx8's
Hey there guys Popping my cherry with this post :D lol but i need an opinion
there are 2 rx8's im looking at they are both at a mazda dealer one is an 07 gt with 15000 kilometers and mazda speed wheels 6 speed ofc and they have it priced at 24900 canadian
but there is also a pewter? 04 that just came in and has 80000 kilometers on it and is going for 17900 canadian...
my question is what do you guys think about my situation i like the pewter color more but am just worried about km's so can some one reassure me about what the differences exactly are (ive read the stickeys) oh and i havnt driven either one of them because when i went to go look at them it was umm -40 out hahaha!

isnt the warrenty boosted up to 8 year 160k well thats what it is here
and 80k is 49k miles
but is the 07 worth the extra money? and i know i still need to drive both and im sure i could get some more cash off right?
there is also an electric yellow but its been modded and im scared of other peoples mods..
** also what kind of first year problems are we talking about because its almost a 10 grand difference in cars here folks! lol oh and this will be my DD

hmmm i saw the paper that said 8 year 160 000* kms on drive train tho and im sure i could fight it if thats what he is telling me
and im talking kilometers here guys! lol im thinking alot of you still think its 80k miles its actually 50k miles..... but everyone seems to say stay away from the 04.... but again i will drive them both...
and i dunno im wary about buying cars privately i know they are better deals.. and plus i would only buy an rx8 from an actual mazda dealer unless i could find a dece rx8 here in winnipeg manitoba which is kinda hard!

ok boys i drove the 04 today since its been so nice out that alot of the snow has gone! so i drove it on summer tires it seemed pretty good other then grabbing everynow and then because of the ice :S
but its been smoked in *barf* lol is there any way to get that out?
and can some one convince my mom that this car is practical and you can drive it in the winter? cause she seems to think that if you need to buy winter tires then the car shouldnt be driven in the winter....
my dad is an old car guy and thinks the rx8 is a good car but my mom is redic some times and thinks im going to kill myself..... sooo any suggestions???? cause i love the 8 and she has some mass hate since she doesnt see them in the winter

Hey Smirnofsoldier... i think the 15000km car you were looking at back in Jan of 09 is the car i bought!
Was it at destination Mazda and stormy blue in color? if so, its been an amazing car and i have had it since 23-Feb-09.
Anyways, have you bought your 8 yet?
