the $30- 35000 price range is high but not is you look at (for example) my 1991 N/A Package A with the TURBO brake package and rear end sold for $21??? new in 1991 (i still have the original window sticker). i dont know 35000$ is alot for a car but it does not seem to far off to me. however i will not be buying one b/c i think the new rotary in the RX-8 sucks ass.....but at least they went back to the rotary i guess.
