Is there a reason why RX8s are so overpriced on the sites I'm looking at?

For example, KBB rates an RX8 2004 at ~50k miles at like $3k, and yet on Autotrader and CL I keep seeing cars listed at 8-9k, and half the time they're in sub-par condition, need work (or just don't work), etcetera. All 2004 or 2005 models btw, which is nonsense

What's worse is I keep seeing ENGINELESS RX8s trying to be sold for 2k+.

Am I missing something here? Are people just fucking retarded?
>>
Reason 1 - everyone knows about the premix meme now

Reason 2 - everyone finally blew up engine #1 and put new engines in, so the value went up
>>
>>16275822
Yeah, you. KBB is pointless. The prices on ebay and CL dictate what people sell it for. Don't like it look in other states and major cities. Engine-less modern car for $2k..... put $3k into a used engine and install.... Bam $5k car. Faggot.
>>
>>16275822
Are you looking for only manual rx8s? The autos sell for way less, skewing the kbb.
>>
>>16275822
>tfw I will never own an RX8 because I can't fit inside the car.
Fuck my height.
>>
>>16275827
Well shit, am I too late? Did everyone figure out the car isn't shit? I was seriously hoping to profit from other people's retardation and get a great car with a tainted rep for cheap, I don't need people to suddenly get smart

>>16275832
I mean I guess, I thought KBB value was based on the sales prices of cars in a given region by websites and the like.

How tall are you?
>>
>>16275850
From all the test driving I fit in just fine and I'm 6'3". That's just me tho for all I know you might be some sort of Nordic giant or something

>>16275846
Well there's my answer. I don't know why anyone would want an automatic variant, I guess no one actually does.
>>
>>16275822
Gorgeous color honestly; not enough green cars in the world.
>>
>>16275864
Yeah, the shitty 4 speed auto turned the rx8 into a gutless unreliable car with poor fuel economy, with nearly every auto rx8, well maintained or not, blow up at around 80k due to carbon buildup.
>>
>>16275876
Is there any reason to get one whatsoever? How can people hear
>Less power
>Less fun
>Less efficient
>Less reliable
And think "yeah, that's for me?"
Should I blame my fellow burgers?
>>
>>16275876
How hard would it be to find and install a Mexican transmission in one?

I was actually looking on getting into the rotary meme, but I was looking at old rx7s.

Is the rx8 just a straight upgrade, aside from the lack of pop-ups?
>>
>>16277323
Not quite
The Rx8 is a great car, and seriously one of the best handling cars ever made, but as far as straight-line speed goes it falls short of the turbo-variants of the FC/FD, which both had stock turbo options.

Outside of early model construction mishaps the Renesis is by far the most daily-able rotary though, also having 4doors 4seats technically that are actually usable.

> kbb
Lol @ that shit
Whenever someone tells me the KBB I tell them to buy one for that price then
>>
>>16275822
You can't really use kbb for discontinued cars like the RX-8. Their pricing assumes it'll just keep depreciating every year as new RX-8s continue to come out.

>>16277961
>rotard shit
>best at anything
>At all
>EVER

OH FUCK ME, LMAOING @ YOUR LIFE
When will you delusional fucks kill yourselves? Holy shit I am fucking dying, you people are comedy gold
The only worth your rotard garbage has is swapping an ls inside, and then smashing the car into a wall and putting the engine in a car that wasn't complete horseshit to begin with.

I don't know why they even bother putting autos in Doritos. Just seems like the worst engine/transmission combination possible, at least until someone is crazy enough to do a CVT rotary. I saw a gorgeous low mileage montego blue FD for really cheap... with an auto. Sad.
