Wish me luck, might get a new one tomorrow

I have missed my yellow '04 since I traded it a year and 1/2 ago, so tomorrow I'm
going to to try and trade my '08 Civic Si, on a new '09 loaded Rx-8 R3... got every thing crossed they can work it out. They have the '09's marked down 6k, and said they may can go more.

And they only have a Red and a Blue, the blue looks really cool.

no! get blue if you do, I've seen both on the road, the blue is a double take, the red is typical. It's a really nice blue.

Not a bad price
I think that Mazda is giving a 5K rebate at the moment --- See if you can get some more off the price. its worth a shot..

Good Luck

they came off the sticker 8K, but, due to huge amount I was in the hole with the Si,
that put it right back to 32k, which is fine, I have the car I wanted and out of the Civic.

i believe you can get the mazdaspeed wing unpainted. its a bit cheaper this way too. so just have them paint it aurora blue.

thats the easy part, i dont know if the bolts from the oe spoiler line up anymore.

Thanks everyone for the welcome back, it is so good to be back. The Si was not a bad car at all
and I think this makes 22 in the count of cars I've had over the years. There is just something that I love about these rotary machines.

oh congrats on the car!
:D
I actually prefer R3's in blue compared to Red, but the best colour for the R3 is white.
Too bad Canada, Australia and Europe get that choice
