[QUOTE="- D i a b l o -, post: 3989322, member: 18215"] let me clarify this abit more clearly.rather then "disposing" you should really understand RX-8 is one of the main cars that grey importers "dumped" into the market years before due to anticipated demand but its one of those cars that is basically oversupplied hence the "low" price that you new buyers enjoy. Ask any "old" RX-8 owners and i bet they tell you the same story when they bought it almost brand new at premium price and saw our beautiful car depreciated so bad in the market.That my friends,doesnt mean the car is getting bad or what. If you still doubting me,take a look at the Fairlady 350Z,my personal "rival" in this matter,Previously it was priced much higher comparo to the RX-8 per se about at least 50-70k higher right now a basic 03' unit is available at 140k or so. thats around 20-30k difference from a good 03' unit right now regardless of transmission.Compare this with the prices around 3 years ago it still hold their prices pretty high even if they are allready registered and used. learning86,I have to say that i've seen a fair share of bolton projects on the RX-8 and mostly its a disaster because of either unluckiness/misinformed/half-baked while the one that succeeded last even up till today after years of usage.A modern age rotary isnt even comparable to the old-age rotary where the standard of the engine (the quality and the reliability of the internal/external engine parts ) are markedly improved. That said,i've known several 70-80k plus rx-8 users that is driving the car to its teeth without problems at all. Comparing the cars with those turbocharged rally-derived box would be logical,but impractical because they are of different "species".A Mitsubishi Evo (regardless of model 78910 pick your choice) or a Subaru STI WRX (regardless of model too) are a turbocharged 4wd saloon that will give you alot of speed-per-RM and a whole lot of fun. But you're seeing here is a Mazda RX-8 man..a rotary 2+2 coupe,its one of the best grand-tourer born in japan.nuff said :proud: [/QUOTE]
