Also,

having driveng Audis MBs and possibly a Porsche in the future,..and going to a mazda might look bad to the ladies? is there any potential problems to be on the look out for ?).
I find it hard to believe that someone with such a minimal grasp of language and communication is in the market for a higher end car or concerned about the neighbors. Either you are 15 years old and trolling for fun, or an astonishing idiot. Either way we don't want you here. Go away.

Sometimes, people who are jealous of others - like, maybe the situation of someone who can't afford a RX8 - get a perverse thrill out of generating controversey and throwing stones at those they envy. Children - or insecure adults - may do this to attract attention to themselves.

MBs and 911s (apart from special editions) depreciates alot. In fact I dare say that S-class and the E-class depreciates much worse than RX-8. AMG only accelerates the rate of price drop even more. AMG C32 or AMG C55 are great buys. Audis are perennial depreciation kings when it comes to their A6 and A8 models.
OP needs to do more research otherwise or risk looking like a tool coming as a new member. Reputation will forever be tarnished by stupid ignorant initial posts.

Just wait a few years when RX-8s start becoming rare and your car will have its value again.

RX8 members... hate to spoil the joke, but the comment above is not serious. Just look at the quality of the post, and it's message, should be pretty clear.

Probably a prankster from the a BMW or Audi forum. Probably retailiation for a RX8 club prankster... and man we are much worse.

Heheheheheheh

The biggest potential problem to look for would be you driving one. I think you should buy the Audi. You in an Audi.... the ladies wouldn't stand a chance.

pwned since when is it a bad thing to be able to pick up a low mi 4 year old car for 12k that handles with anything in its class and many cars above its price? As well as looking better than anything in its class.

Yeah, but what will the neighbors think of it? And how will you compensate and use the car to pick up girls?

I honestly don't believe that depreciation on RX-8s is any worse than depreciation on 350Zs, S2000s, etc.
