Thumbs up 2004 Mazda Rx8 GT - Modified Magazine car

Year: 2004
Make: Mazda
Model: RX-8
Price: $8500
Mileage: 150
Color: Silver
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (US State/Canada/Int): KY

Looking to sell one of my Mazda Rx8's, this car is very well known in the Rx8 world and is super clean. Was in Modified Magazine in 2013, a few of the aftermarket parts have been removed from the car but there is still a ton of great parts installed. This car was cared for beyond well and it shows, you wont be able to find another Rx8 like this one..

Link to the Modified Magazine cover of this car:
2005 Mazda RX-8 GT - Modified Magazine

The engine was replaced with a new one last year and currently has around 8k miles on it, the car starts right up every time and runs great. Is basically a 1 owner car and has every receipt from day 1 included. All maintenance is thoroughly documented here.

Everything is in GREAT condition

My personal ratings,

Exterior paint - 10 / 10 shines like new
Exterior body panels - 9 / 10 A few small dings from the years
Interior overall - 9/10 besides some light wear on the drivers seat is in near new condition
Engine and drive train - 10/10 Runs smooth and drives great

The only thing some may see as a negative is the electric power steering has been unhooked, has been this way since I got the car and have never minded the stiffer steering much but would be a bit easier to turn at slow speeds if plugged back up.

Has an aftermarket alarm / remote start system.

I'm cornfused - you have this posted as a 2004 but the magazine says 2005. Is it a 2004 1/2 rounded up to a 2005?

Yes it is. Was asked to post compression numbers so I'm doing that today to show how healthy the engine is.

Thanks

is this a stock engine? Also why would anyone pay such a high price when everything great about it was removed?

Umm.. you do understand that $15,000 is $7,000 more than my asking price right?.. as in almost double my asking price lol.

I have a complete rew swap here, for that additional $7,000 I'd gladly work out a deal to remove the stock engine in this car and include the rew swap with the car.

This car is worth every penny of my asking price in my opinion, if you don't feel that way I respect that but no need to post bud.

Thanks

This is extremely tempting, but it would have to be shipped to Arizona.


I also wanted more of a project, but this looks like a fun car to massage.


Still available?
