Unfortunately it's time to sell my 2004 Mazda RX 8. A new job that's requiring a lot of driving forced me to buy a new car and so this has to go. Grand Touring model with Sport suspension package featuring bigger brakes and sway bars, stiffer suspension and 18" wheels. Grand Touring package also includes heated leather seats, Bose stereo and glass monsoon. 6 speed manual with limited slip different. I purchased the car with 94,000 miles on it with a brand new remanufactured engine from Mazda at 92,051 miles. This was done at Driver's Village in Syracuse and I have all the paperwork to document this. A new clutch, coils, plugs, and catalytic converter were all done around the same time, again with all paperwork and receipts. I recently replaced the coils, plugs, and wires as well as a new OEM air filter. The car also has Tein Basis coilovers and XXR wheels sized 18x8.75 +20 up front and 18x9.75 +20 out back with 225/45R18's and 245/40R18's. Other than the suspension the car is bone stock and reliable as hell. The check engine light is on for what I believe is rather a rear oxygen sensor or catalytic converter. I do have a brand new Bosch sensor for it but haven't replaced it yet. Car now has 121,000 miles and really won't go up anymore since it is getting ready to be stored for the winter. The paint is not in super great shape. Most of the car is pretty good, but the right rear quarter panel had clear cost flaking. I believe this was cause from sitting in the sun when it was originally purchased down in Florida. The trunk may need to be replaced at some point as it is starting to rust on the inside edge of the trunk. This was caused by the crappie gaskets that were on the OEM spoiler. Common issue on RX8's and if you find one that isn't rusting, let me know. I have been searching for a used trunk lid from a base model car with no spoiler to replace it with but haven't found any locally yet. I may have this replace soon though and can do it if it would effect the sale of the car. Other than that, the bottom of the car is rust free, none of the aluminum control arms are corroded anywhere, and it's in good mechanical shape.
