A new RX8 Gran Touring in 2009 was ~38k out the door, iirc. I completed the purchase of one red new gran touring from Mazda, for delivery. The inventory was already taken, so they tried to swap a yellow and I cancelled. The next shipment was in another 8 months. Obviously, the internet RX8 community was active and I knew what was a reasonable pricing, at the time. I looked locally and I had a salvage checked out at Mazda. It was clean. As I mentioned, I sold it to a collector for 9k ~10 years later, as it was still in near-mint condition, regardless of the title status.
