2007 Mazda RX-8 6-speed Manual Coolant Seals Need Replace

With 2 young kids, need to sell my 2007 RX-8. Pearl White in color, has upgraded started and ignition coils. Engine was replaced under warranty in 2013 and has 16,284 miles on it and the car itself has 73,736. 1.5 years ago while driving the car it started to hesitate and drive rough. I immediately stopped driving it and took it to the dealer for diagnostics. They told me that the issue was that the coolant seals were cracked and needed to be replaced. I intended on fixing it but new baby and other life changes put the rebuild on the back burner. Wish I had the time and resources to rebuild, but with 2 little boys, it is now time to sell. However my wife did tell me that when the next generation of RX when it comes out, so at least that is something. Attached are pictures of the car, no reasonable offer will be refused. Car Located in Indianapolis













area.

Post your FS thread here: https://www.rx8club.com/mw-rx-8-forum-31/ I don't think regional forums require the 30day 10 post rule and remember to state your price.
BTW I used to live at Bloomington for 4 years and often go to Indy for food, I have saw your car several times. Looks clean.
You can re-test the coolant system if you don't trust the dealer.

Did they find leaking coolant? Coolant in the oil? or a **** ton of white smoke out of the exhaust during cold starts? Why was the first engine replaced?

Too bad I just bought another Rx8 I'd have jumped at this car. Nowhere near indy though

Engine was replaced due to compressions issues. It was tested and replaced under warranty.

Dealer said they found coolant mixed in with the gas, if I recall.

No way coolant mixes with fuel...

Likely oil....
Might not hurt having someone who has a clue look at it....
