  • 2005 RX8 for sale (Fair's)

    For Sale Page: http://www.vorshlag.com/rx8.php



    Please take a look at the page. Feel free to make suggestions or corrections before I post this link to various forums. Thanks!

    note: I did a nationwide AutoTrader "power search" with the following variables:
    • 2005 Mazda RX8
    • manual (6-spd = 238hp engine + 18" wheels, sport susp & brakes)
    • under 15,000 miles (ours has 11,000)
    • Only listings with prices
    • Any Distance

    Prices ranged from $20,950 to $28,998 for 108 total listings. My asking price of $23,000 is at the low end of the range. Granted, this is a fairly low option car (exceptions: factory SIRIUS sat. radio and custom hitch added). Am I asking the right price?

    Thanks for any input.

    Ask more to start Terry, you aren't in a hurry to sell so start high.

        Ad looks GREAT! Also, don't forget the RX8 forum.

          IMHO, I would take the vorshlag.com URL out of the AutoTrader ONLY ad and just not ever mention the car was raced unless asked.

          Basically, you have two audiences, the racers (SCCA forums, this list, car enthusiasts, tamscc peeps) and then the rest of the demographics - joe schmo that wants an RX8.

          Joe Schmo won't want an RX8 that has been "raced and abused" - he wants a clean RX8 for a good deal and will likely pass on a "raced RX8" versus the 35 year old house mom that wanted a pretty car but is now pregnant with triplets.

          Most RX8 owners don't autocross, but they DO love their forums and car shows, so in the RX8 forum, I would create a second page with zero mention of racing, but all of the same pictures. If they ask why you have a trailer hitch, say...you love McCalls' lakehouse and you love mountain biking (they'll infer the reasons.....(jet ski and or bike rack))

          So 2 marketing approaches....same car.

            Dang, Dean. You must have sold a used car or two. Hey, maybe you were a used car salesman in a previous life!
