New here and looking for a RX8 Trade!

Post by Poidisb »

Hi guys, been looking at RX8s years ago but never bit the. bullet and went for it!

I've had the itch reignited again and am very keen to get one, ideally looking to trade my MX5 (2004 54 plate Arctic SE, 1.8, Colour coded hard top, 80000 miles, new exhaust, battery, mid pipe and front rails in April..

Just thought I'd start to search and see what's around!

Thanks for the welcome! 😃 Location added!

After some scouting my MX5 specialist I use has a 56 plate 192 in Copper Red, apparently very low mileage so I get the feeling I'd be massively priced out of it!

you're best off selling the mx and then looking around to buy a rex
the trade don't like the cars and so the 2nd hand value is pretty low, even now

if you have £3K to spend you'll have enough to get a pretty good car

I found my rexy via a friend forwarding me screenshots of a car for sale on Facebook marketplace. Took some time to get comms going with the seller but played the long game and have ended up with an absolute beaut of a car. All good things to those who wait.
