Chris Wilson Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Wouldn't like to have bought a new RX-8, been offered two today for about 7500 quid each, tidy cars with no engine issues. BIG hit on these things... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 There are a fair few of them about, which is probably one of the main reasons I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 The replacement looks nice, that's really going to kill used prices of the current one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 It's in Auto Express this week but I can't find a pic, basically it's a bit like the Mazda Kabura concept car but more aggressive looking, no silly doors and doesn't look like it will appeal to old ladies like the current one.

wallace9 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I know thats alot of money to loose but are all new cars pretty much the same ? I know when the bmw mini came out there was a high demand and therfore second hand prices were good and I also remember something about the big cryser (300c??) being worth alot second hand compared to the new price but thats the only ones I can think of. Depresiation on new cars these days is a c**t. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 The new RX8 looks like a TVR concept car IMO. All cars will look the same, eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Wouldn't like to have bought a new RX-8, been offered two today for about 7500 quid each, tidy cars with no engine issues. BIG hit on these things... That does seem v.cheap. Are they not proving to be very reliable or something? I believe they're very thirsty to run. Wish the 350Z had fallen the same. Let me know if they do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 They're bloody ugly in my opinion. I don't care how good the body but if its got a face like Bella Emberg, I ain't doing it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffleman Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I don't mind them and they drive well. Thing is, for the first year or two of release, prices were VERY strong. Used cars were selling for list etc. Serious turnaround though ! £7,500 ? I'd be tempted ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steb9780 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 People probably sell them when they realise how much fuel they are putting in. A bloke at work has one, he bought it brand new a few years back (i'll have to mention to him that it's not worth much more than the Supra now ). He said he knew about the fuel consumption, but once he realised he had to put £50 of juice in a week, it hit home what they meant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveK Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I know somebody who bought one - they sold it because of build quality, not fuel consumption. Too many squeaks and rattles apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Engine problems again, they still haven't sorted the tip seal issue satisfactorily, apparently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Still quite like them, prices are a bargain now compared with the rival at the time the 350z, which is a better car. Regards, Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Its slow, ugly, unreliable, and very thirsty. No wonder prices have dropped. The chassis is nice, but that pales in comparison with its problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
