jacob Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Hi all. I saw a pretty sweet 2008 Spec.b for sale and I'm thinking about switching from my 2.5i. I have the Limited, and while I do think the car is great, I miss the power and manual transmission (coming from a Mazdaspeed). The 2008 that I'm looking at has only 39000 miles and is un-modded, and seems to be in excellent condition. What do you think? Stupid decision?

shribob Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Not to start a 4th vs. 5th gen war, how come not a 5th gen GT? Both cars are relatively tough to find. What are your needs in a car? If it is just power without worrying too much about space, I think the spec B would be a great choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awwrxwgn Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Go look at it, it's not in perfect condition. Curb rash on all wheels and a funky dent on the roof and fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobyscoodle Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 '08 'B with about 40k on it, that's a no brainer. As long as you feel like the 'B is at a descent price, grab it. You will be glad you did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenzo Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Still loving my 2008 Spec.B with almost 120K miles. If the seller can prove regular maintenance and it looks good otherwise - go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen pictures but I'm guessing it's in pretty good condition. The price isn't too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
