CONTACT INFO

The car is located in Los Gatos, CA 95032. If you have any questions, offers, or details you need cleared up PM me, I am on this forum often.

GENERAL

The asking price is $19,950. I am fairly firm at the moment, but I’ll see what kind of interest I get and go from there. I am willing to lower the price down to $17,950 with the wheels taken off. I do not have stock wheels, so I will have to find and purchase a set of wheels (around a $500 cost on my part for good condition wheels and tires)

Any other parts removals, would be very time consuming and I’d have to consider it carefully, but like I said, I'm willing to work with buyers and will find a way to make it work, if you're close to my asking price and I am able to attain the stock pieces. Be aware I will need a non-refundable deposit before I part anything out.

In general: PLEASE don’t inquire about the car if you don’t have the means or desire to purchase it. PLEASE don’t ask questions in my thread that you can find yourself. PLEASE don’t ask me to part it down to a rolling chassis, or some other outlandish request. PLEASE don’t leave messages like “Will you drop the price? I have $12,000 in hand!” PLEASE don’t tell me to call you if I’m interested in your offer, I have clearly stated my contact info, take some initiative and show me you’re a serious buyer and I’ll return the favor by showing you I’m a serious seller. PLEASE don't tell me what KBB says my car is worth, and on that note I am aware that sports cars sell for more during the summer and I will not be low balled, this is what the car is worth to me and I am perfectly able to continue supporting this hobby. This is a sale of preference, not an 'I need money fast' thread.

Test drives will be given at my discretion (in other words no joy rides), and I may have requirements that prove you are a serious buyer or have the means to purchase the car.

For those that want to know why I’m selling, it’s basically because this car has consumed a lot of my time and money. While I do love my RX-7, I’ve reached a point in my life where at this time I simply don’t have the time for it. I’m also needing something more practical for daily driving and work. I often worry about vandalism to this car, and just recently it was keyed and I don't want to worry and stress about the car 24/7 anymore.

I am a very reputable seller on this forum and have completed some transactions with zero problems. Everything stated is the cars condition to the best of my knowledge. If you have any issues or concerns please make sure they are worked out before purchase.

Thanks for looking,
-Brian

Those are the same wheels I ordered for my 8, also through Rishie. Good taste.

Throwdown, just incase you wanted to see Rishie's 8 and my FD together so you can see what your 8 will look like when you get the wheels :-)

Open to offers, please PM me if interested

UPDATE:

It's been a while since I last bumped this thread. There has been good and bad news. I have added a nice system to the car.

Two Alpine Type-S 10" Subwoofers in a custom sealed enclosure
Alpine MRP-M450 Amp

Sadly, last night the front right wheel was curbed so there is some wheel curb rash on the passenger side front wheel.

The price is still standing strong, but again, I am open to offers still. I took new pictures today as I had some time to pull the car out and get some pictures of the keymark on the drivers side door, the new system, and the curb mark on the front wheel.

For those who are worried about the front wheel damage, I have two brand new front wheels that were ordered from Rishie from AutoRnD sitting in my storage right now. Even with the curb damage, I don't feel as it is enough for me to put the new front wheels on, but I do have brand new front wheels for those who would want a deal. Rishie told me that these wheels (although the same exact wheel) are better because they yield a larger lip than the ones on the car right now.

Please feel free to ask any questions and offers can be PM'ed to me.

Have a safe 4th of July

P.S. - Sorry, didn't have time to wash/clean the car

Car still for sale

Who keyed your car???

Also, I'm carless but loaded at the moment. However, I'm nowhere near California. How will you deal with shipping?

If I knew who keyed my car, they definitely would be paying to fix it. They cowardly did it and ran :-(

Shipping can be done through shipping trucks that will come pickup the car and bring it to your house. If you are interested in something like that, please let me know.

I'm in the middle of sealing a deal for an RX8 now. If this deal does not work out, I'll definitely look you up. I've always wanted an FD or an FC anyway. It's Mica Blue, so I can easily get touchup paint to cover the keyed damage.

Sounds good, just keep me updated.

Gorgeous car. I would love to buy it, but I'm already trying to sell a car :)

abbid PM sent to you

Sorry man, i was just messin with ya. One of those nigerian bank scam type things.. i can delete the last comment if you wish..

hmm if you told me where the car was parked maybe i could come "see" than "test drive it away" hehe na just playing its a nice car I would buy it if I could just sell my 8

PM sent, we are very serious. If you can work with our limitations (deployed); I would appreciate it. Let me know. We are excited to try and work a deal.

Kane, PM sent back, lets work on a deal to get this through.

Got your PM, talked to my boy, one way or the other he is good. So I'll be getting back to you really soon with the details. This may be a small PITA with shipping, but I think it we can work through it.

Kane, PM'ed you back

Sale pending with Kane from rx8club.com!

go Kane go!

That's a nice 7 FD @.@ cant believe you couldnt sell it for so long, but I guess half the people who want it are in the same situation as me.. cant afford it no matter how much we want it lol. Good luck! if you dont sell for another couple years I might get it :p:

I am all over this thing, BACK OFF PEOPLE! :lol:

Just Kidding, Brian is being a good sport so far about shipping and paperwork BS cause I am deployed. Things are looking good.

PM-ed you back Brian.

Car is practically sold to Jeremy, once I receive the deposit Kane, I will confirm it with all the threads.

PM replied to

Got PM, trying to find a DSN phone link to call you... might be a few. If not, then I will PM you back.

And it is Kane bro, only my mom calls me Jeremy. :lol:

Just got off the phone with KANE :-) It was great talking to you first of all.

To all else, car is sold to Kane, just working out the last of the details

Woot! Calling the peeps now... gonna be a long night.

Congrats are in order

Those wheels would look good on my 8 BTW :)

I wish you guys could hear the confusion on the phone with the insurance and shipping company... HAHAH

I'm confident that Kane will take great care of the car as did me and the past owners. RX7's are a piece of history, treat it right when it gets to you :-)

its nice to see this car go to a good home where it will be taken care of. congrats to both!

My bro should be emailing you shortly Brian. Got the insurance figured out, no biggie. Working on shipping/registration now.

And don't worry, we know this is a soon to be classic, we will be nice to her.

Just to make you anxious Kane, I snapped some pictures of the car with my camera phone (yes I know it's bad)

Heres your baby sitting in the garage waiting to be picked up :-)

Aww man, photobucket is blocked at work.... bummer.

I will be sure to check it later when I am on my own computer. Did my bro get a hold of you?

Your brother hasn't phoned/emailed me yet no.

Kane, my dad got in from duty last night and we are trying to finalize all the information. The one thing that I think we missed/worried about is that when you sell the car, you have to get it smogged we believe. We are also looking at the liability factors too like I said earlier, if you brother picks up the car, do we get released of all liabilities even though the car is still registered under our name at the time. Just some of the small factors we are working on right now.

We are set for the 24th of Aug for your brother to come up and pickup the car once all of these factors are solved for.

Keep me updated, I will be contacting you (PM) later on today once we've checked out everything with these issues.

Sounds good, don't forget the car will only be in CA for a week or less after pickup, then it is on me and mine to get it registered in HI. On my end all is well, registration in HI is 30 days leeway and shipping documents are good.

Let me know what you all find out.

Kane, PM sent to you

All over it Brian. I think we have enough info to seal the deal, the rest is just semantics. PMed you back.

Nice purchase Kane. Seriously that is a sweet looking RX-7 in a sick color. Congrats to both you and hard hitter. I am jealous.

Will offer rides for $10, to the single turbo upgrade fund HA HA HA.

Bill of Sale and transfer information for the deposit was sent to your e-mail Kane.

Another positive step towards completing the deal

Working my end.... stupid Mafia, making my banking harder.

Deposit wired.

Car is sold, Kane's brother and his brothers wife are coming to pickup the car. Deposit was wired and the remaining funds are being wired within 24-32hrs. By Saturday, this car will be with a new owner

Fat Lady is stepping up to the mike...

Congrats, Kane! I'll pay $10 bucks for a ride if you buy my plane ticket to HI! Sounds like a deal if I've ever heard of one!

I was actually contemplating selling my 8 and getting this car, but I don't think I could part with my 8. Beautiful car! You are now required via forum law to post hundreds of pictures of it when you get it!

Car is paid for, Kane's brother and brother's wife is coming Saturday to pickup the car. Going to be a sad day for me :-( Happy day for Kane

This car will definitely be taken care of. Of course, I have no choice! I'm married to KANE and I can't get out easy. I am excited to drive a 7 after his 8, especially since he told me it is slightly faster....FUN FUN FUN

Of course you will get pics. I have 2 Mazdas to get pics on now...WOW! I feel special.

Once the car arrives (probably in about 3-4 weeks off the boat) I will come back online and post the pics, or Kane will!

I am excited to drive a 7 after his 8, especially since he told me it is slightly faster....FUN FUN FUN

Just a small bit faster:uhh: .... but I have a plan. Before I give it to Chris to take home, I am going to limit the boost to 2PSI, then I will have a chance..... :lol:

Plan B is to get a bigger turbo for the 8

Plan C is to break Chris's Shifting arm.....

I can't lose.

Brother getting ready to start drive now...

Kane,

I got your email, email me back ASAP so I know what you need

Emailed back, just need to confirm details. Thanks Brian!

Brother getting ready to start drive now...

About 3 hours out from now. Got a late start.

Sooooo tired... it is 0140 here, got 2 more hours I think.

Car is gone, your brother just drove off with it. Sad day :-( Take care of it and keep in touch!

Last goodbye :-(

That is a bummer for you.

But hey, we are happy!!!!!

Thanks again for all of the help and being flexible. Guy and Gals, Brian (HardHitter) is an awesome guy to work with! A big big thumbs up!!!!!

I wonder how that RX7 will compare to his Ford Ranger..... HAHAHAHA.

OMG! The 7 was finally sold?! Hurray!

dude, I would trade my rx-8 for that in a heart beat lol

Hah yea, he was saying he might not ship you the car cause he likes it so much lol.

Your brother was having a hard time finding the clutch engagement while he was test driving it, so that's why he burnt out/chirped the wheels a couple of times and he was shifting the car into gears when he was only going to like 2000rpm lol. It was an interesting test drive, hopefully he got used to it as he drove it home

Oh boy.... I hope so too.

I will be sure to make fun of him often for that!

sexy! Grats on the purchase Kane.

Hope everything went well with the shipping to Hawaii, make sure you or your wife sends pictures!

i saw this car couple days ago or so on the 91W fwy getting off kramer! haha im like hey i've seen this car before! im pretty sure it was this

That was them heading to LA to ship it out!!! HAHA

The car should be in HI by the end of Sept, and I will update everyone.

Guess what guys....eat your heart out! I have an RX7 AND an RX8!!!

The car was in PERFECT condition upon arrival. It came in on Wed but I couldn't get it from the docks until Friday (Aug 31). Came a heck of a lot quicker than I thought! Wish our car took that quick when we first got here!

It was a SWWWWAAAAAA--WWEEEETTT drive home! Let me tell ya....it's a close call with the 7 and 8 which one is better. Pros and cons for both equally.

I know it's not ours, but I joked with Kane saying I was gonna have two husbands now!

HARDHITTER - I promise to take very good care of it and get pics in the next day or so!

Thanks! Kim

Pics or it never happened!

Pics or it never happened!

What is with you and PICS?!?! Just close your eyes and you can see me! 8 years shoulda given you SOME permanent memory.

I'll get em GEEZ

The car Kimi.... the RX7. The blue one with only 2 doors you just picked up...

Can I have pics of that please? :lol:

My turn for complements Kane. Thats a sweet 7. Should I say this.... I WANT ONE.....................

I am glad that you guys got the car and it is going to a great home. Enjoy it Kane, I will definitely be picking up another one once I get out of college, it's such a fun and rare car.
