CA '08 Black GT RX8 - Bay area.... Hella MODS

Year: 2008
Make: Mazda
Model: RX-8
Price: $19000
Mileage: 40000
Color: black
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (US State/Canada/Int): CA

I am considering selling my beloved RX8 as I am buying a new car (long story). I have not paid off the car yet and would like someone to take over the payments. I owe 20000 to my bank right now, and instead of trading my baby in to a dealer (who will not have a clue about the capability of this rotary monster with all of the mods I have on it) I would like to see if anyone here is interested. Please reply or PM me to discuss further. I am going to post pictures soon.

Grand Touring RX8, Manual Transmission. Black exterior with black leather interior.
Sun roof, 6-CD changer, power drivers seat, keyless entry and start/stop.

Here is a list of all of the mods done so far:

Suspension/Brakes

1. Eibach progressive lowering springs. ~1.5"-2” front and back
2. Bilstein shocks
3. Racing Beat front and rear sway bars
4. Stoptech slotted rotors
5. HPS brake pads

Wheels/Tires

1. Advan RZ bronze wheels 18X9 +45 offset @ 17.7 lbs per wheel
2. Proxy's 255/40

Intake/Exhaust

1. Mazdaspeed Cold Air Intake
2. Racing Beat dual 3” exhaust

Engine/PCM

1. BHR kit Yukon coil conversion
2. MSD spark plug wires
3. NKG spark plugs
4. Access port with Mazda Maniac tune (Accessport will be sold together with the car... 600$ value right there)


Transmission

1. AFE short throw shifter with Voodoo piano black ****

Other

1. Ipod/Iphone connectivity kit (charges and plays music through car’s radio) hidden under the radio with custom cabling -> OEM look
2. Redline shiftboot (my original one got torn)
3. Fender strakes
4. Advan Racing wheel caps (2, I lost two of them due to an incompetent install shop)
5. Racing Beat oil filler cap

Not Installed

1. Racing Beat oil pressure/temperature adapter
2. Racing Beat water temperature adapter
3. Lotek dash gauge pod
4. Upgraded fuel pump (BHR)
5. BHR lightweight flywheel (really light weight)

A few other things to add:
I am in the process of purchasing another car, and decided against trading the RX8 in as a down-payment. Having said that I can take some time to sell the car, as I really would like to see it end up in good, caring hands. I can afford to have two monthly payments for some time.
Would really prefer to have someone local to Bay Area, California buy it, as the test drive, a visit to a mechanic, etc are so much easier to arrange.

Thanks Figs... but it does NOT have everything. I was building it up for an eventual turbo upgrade, and it's almost ready for it.... just need to install a wide band O2 sensor... maybe an upgraded radiator... oh damnit, the mod fever is really bad with this car...... now I am thinking about keeping it as my 2nd car, for HWY 9 runs on the weekend. This car is perfect for twisty mountain roads, a couple of month ago I found some guy with a later gen Acura NSX up there, we started a spontaneous race that lasted for like 10 miles. I am not convinced that he was really pushing it, but I had a strong feeling that the RX8 is demolishing it in the corners.

Currently looking into getting an RX-8, my Miata got destroyed by some lady in a GMC Yukon last Thursday. How much do you pay month to month?
