First bite is a kind of interesting offer: Trade for a 2014 Mazda6 Touring con - downside is it's silver with black vinyl seats and 85k miles.

It also seems to be worth about $2k more as a trade-in somehow.

Silver Mazda6 bro deal continues to be interesting to me. It looks like if we can manage to figure out a way to do it right that we might be able to save each other a bunch of money doing the swap. He just moved from OH to GA and will have to pay like $900 on his 6 to register it down there if he still has it on Jan 1. I'll have to pay $200 or so in tax on the if I have it here on Jan 1... might be able to keep at least $1100 away from if we before then.

While the makes sense... I am having a tough time with the fact that a mazda 6 with a highly undesirable for everyone else and double the miles of the rx8 is somehow "worth" the same.

Cost to own is roughly double, assuming no future engine/rust issues with the and no huge fuel price increases. Anything "unexpected" like that and the cost only goes higher and higher on theD Griff wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2018 6:07 pmSeems like a car... but the RX8 is way more .troyguitar wrote: ↑Wed Dec 19, 2018 5:44 pm Silver Mazda6 bro deal continues to be interesting to me.

I'd probably rather just sell it outright and not have a car at all.

Yea, I'd stick to the no car plan. If you do the swap, you'll be stuck with that 6 forever. Nobody wants a high mileage other than forumbros that never put their money where their mouth it.
Unless you want it forever, then it's probably a call. You waffle too much on cars to commit like that

So the 10.5 Rxh8 will turn into a 8K Mazda 6 on trade... which will be 4-5k next year... plus taxes fees etc, it'll run you a crazy amount of money for nothing...

I'm in no hurry to sell but not about to pay $200/mo to store it. I'll just park it outside and not drive it until the salt goes away in June. It won't hurt anything to get snow on it in the parking lot.[user not found] wrote:Throw the RX8 in a storage unit up there until the spring to keep it nice and minty - keep it listed low-key on CL or Cars.com or Autotrader - and then start aggressively promoting in the spring when AutoX season starts again.troyguitar wrote: ↑Thu Dec 20, 2018 1:16 pm Looks like I won't have time to do anything before January anyway, too much other shit going on.
You own it outright, and it's a seasonal car. You're gonna need warm weather to sell it.
I might need to get one of those solar-powered battery tenders though - anyone know if those really work?

I don't plan on having my out until May at the earliest. April is still usually a crap shoot.

It was in my mind every single time I had to drive the frozen car that's sitting outside instead of in the garage that I own. Never again.

Sounds like you need to buy a bigger house for a car you don’t drive.

My garage isn't big enough to use daily, it's basically a large shed. I never go in there, both cars we drive regularly are forced to sit outside. At least we have a carport on the side so one of the cars doesn't get covered in snow/frost.
