IL '04 RX8: good motor, bad chassis

Year: 2018
Make: Mazda
Model: RX-8
Price: $600
Mileage: 115000
Color: Blue
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (US State/Canada/Int): IL

My trusty 04 RX8 Grand touring here, ~115k miles on chassis, about 60k miles on the reman Mazda replacement engine. Body is pretty shot, lots of rust. Interior is fair condition although pretty worn. Also some damage on the rear trunk lid and bumper from pushing it into the garage, I'll try to get a good pic of it. Long story short, car was running fine until something happened in the clutch area of the motor and trans. Car seemed to drive alright but made a gnarly clanging noise, so I parked it and decided to buy a new car. Since its been sitting it no longer starts, engine turns over just fine though. So essentially its a good motor, likely ok trans, in a worn out chassis. I never took it apart to assess the issue so hard to be sure.

I wish I had a place to store a parts car... I'd buy this in a heartbeat.

Damn my downtown Chicago apartment!
