You will have a better chance buying one in the states import it into Canada and sell your current one.
Thanks but that would mean finding a buyer for my car, plus coming up with funds to buy an S2K and then the lengthy process of bringing it from the States....I think I'll wait for a local trade.

Sure, but also in the summer, RX-8 prices spike up too...it's a natural case for all sports cars, and in the summer, my car should be worth closer to 20K.
In no way or form will somebody buy your car for 20 brother... im trying to be nice here lol. My buddy is sitting here next to me right now and his cousin just sold his 2007 rx8 with lower km's then yours for 18....

I think he's open to seeing what's offers come down the pipe-line, or at least that would be the smart thing to do.

Wow that sucks....if the value for my RX8 is what you say it is....then I might as well keep it cuz there's no way I'm trading my RX8 which I've pretty much babied for a beat up S2K.

Thanks bro....yeah I'm gonna be open to seeing what type of S2K's come down the line as straight up trades for my RX8. If I like a certain S2K that's been offered as a trade, then I'll seriously consider the trade.

your car isnt terrible by all means. deff a nice and fast looking car. just drive it until it served its useful life and trade in for a S2k?

or even better, in a few years the new rx-7 is coming out. i would try that instead.

Lol thanks bro! Don't get my wrong, I do love my car and I will enjoy keeping it for a while. You're absolutely right....better to keep it and drive it than sell it for less than what it's worth.

Thanks again.

Just because someone is selling a car below market value, doesn't make it the new level market value. It could smell like cow sh!t in the car for all we know.
