Hello all! I am selling my 2004 Mazda RX-8 GT with approximately 42,500 miles. This female-owned, single-owner vehicle has been lovingly maintained and has remaining warranty. The exterior is red and the interior is a striking and hard-to find red/black leather combo.

This car has had recent extensive maintenance and is in tip-top shape. In August 2007 the vehicle sustained non-collision damage to the underbody splash shield (described elsewhere on this forum), which caused an airflow problem that in turn caused the engine to overheat. This damaged the rotor seals and caused the engine to lose compression. The engine, starter, and battery were replaced by Russell and Smith Mazda in September 2007 and I had the windshield replaced in preparation for sale. Serious buyers are welcome to verify this history with the dealership.

Asking price $18,150 obo. This transaction will be completed at the Wells Fargo branch of your choosing for your protection as well as mine. Serious buyers only please call 713-568-1786 ext 618. For general questions please email or post here.

Available for viewing by appointment. Someone was kind enough to let me know that the Houston RX-8 Club is meeting this weekend in the Clear Lake area and, barring unforeseen circumstances, I will probably bring her for viewing there as well.

The following details are from the original RX8 window sticker. A free Carfax report is available with my cars.com listing here.
