The Mazda RX-8 is a continuation of the idea that created the infamous RX-7 of the past. The car is a four seater sports car with a rotary engine that is quick, sporty, and ideal.
The Mazda RX-8 comes in two variants: the MT with a six-speed manual transmission and the AT with the new six-speed automatic. The RX-8 drives like a sports car, with perfect 50-50 weight distribution for balanced handling and a high-revving engine. Options include leather trimmed upholstery, faux leather door trim, six-way power driver's seat, heated seats, lumbar support, a moonroof, heated mirrors, a six-disc CD changer, a DVD-based navigation system and an appearance package consisting of a front air dam, a rear spoiler and side and rear aero flares.
For 2006, the RX-8 offers a new six-speed automatic in place of last year's four-speed. What's more, the automatic model gets a significant boost in horsepower. The six-speed automatic comes with steering-wheel mounted paddle controls for semi-manual shifting.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2006 Mazda RX-8, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2006 Mazda RX-8 for less money than when it was new. If the 2006 Mazda RX-8 was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2006 Mazda RX-8 is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2006 Mazda RX-8 will have a good resale value. This assumes that the 2006 Mazda RX-8 is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
