2004 RX-8, GT, Loaded + Aftermarket
 

CAR BACK UP FOR SALE - UPDATED POST TODAY, MAY 7 2011.


I own the car outright, so it'll be a clean and easy sale for whoever wants it.

General Info
-Price: SOLD :eek:
-2004 RX-8
-Grand Touring - everything but navigation (HID lights, heated seats, power windows/locks, sunroof, homelink mirror, 6 CD changer (Bose), A/C, and more)
-Black and Red Leather
-6-speed
-About 68,xxx miles
-Average dings/scratches for a 7-year old car
-Engine replaced under warranty (around 48k)
-Up-to-date on oil changes, inspection and registration.

Aftermarket Parts
-Richard Paul (AxialFlow) Short Shifter
-Illuminated Shift Knob
-Race Roots Syncro-Saver
-Brand New (real) Leather Shift Boot
-Racing Beat Intake + RB Duct
-Racing Beat Sway Bars (front and rear)
-Tein S Springs and Koni Yellow struts
-Rota p45-R wheels, 18x9.5 + 30 - basically mint condition
-275/35 Dunlop Star Specs (amazing tires) - used only about a thousand miles
-Authentic MS front (professionally painted all black) - soon to be rare...no longer in production!
-Authentic MS Sides (professionally painted all black and installed)
-Authentic Fabulous Rear (needs work) - very rare piece (if parted out, dibs go to zoom44)
-Tinted windows all around
-LED 3rd brake light
-RR red footwell lights wired to a switch (front and back)
-Fog-light rewire + PIAA yellow fog bulbs

It needs a few things done, like the key fobs are dead (but I have both of them), needs driver's side visor, fender vents, spoiler needs new screws, passenger window only goes down 99%, and with these wheels/tires you will eventually want a small pull to the rear fenders (normal driving is fine, but under load or tracking it'll scuff the tires)

UPDATED PRICE - dropped it $500 due to recent cel - code P0661 (intake manifold). I just drove the car and redlined it multiple times, it pulls just fine. Search for that code and you'll see it should be a relatively easy fix, I just don't have time to take care of it myself so I've knocked $500 off the asking price. You can test drive it and see it run perfectly smoothly.

PS - One day, I'll get back in a rotary...an rx-8 or whatever they come out with in the next few years. Thanks to everyone that has been such a big help on here!! I'll probably be like gh8st and keep hanging out on this site :wiggle:

Wow, I'd be sorry to get rid of that, too. :/
PART OUT! PART OUT! PART OUT!

Good luck, man.

thanks bullit!! ha ha ha @ part-out :wiggle:

Good luck with the sale :)

thanks man.

sorry - i have to relink all the pictures tonight. i'll try to get some interior shots too...buuuuuuuut seems pointless if NO ONE is even interested :(

Might be easier to return to stock and sell it local.

yeah, i've thought about that, but i really just don't want to part it out, ha ha. not only the work involved, but for some reason it seems more depressing to return it to stock and then sell it than to just sell it as-is. we have my gf's mazda listed locally too...so maaaaaaaaaybe i'll get to keep the 8 if hers sells first.

good news...................no longer for sale!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P :yesnod:

Nice! Did it sell or you keeping it?

keeping it!! too bad you weren't in the market, ha ha, you're the only one following my f/s thread!!

we ended up listing my gf's mazda 3 too, thinking it would be an easier sell, and we were right. i posted a thread in the lounge :)

bump, back up for sale my friends! mixed emotions so :( and :)

GLWS....I think someone needs that LED 3rd brake light

If only there's a part out! Gl with sale

Thanks man!! Who?? That'd be an easy swap.

Haha here might be!! I want to sell it as is but we'll see. What peaked ur interest?

I really want the mazdaspeed kit but shipping already going to be a killer. Most definitely interested in the sways!

I wouldn't mind getting that brake light, but I can get it from ebay if I have to.

Would really hate to see this parted out!
Someone should buy this one as is!

Thanks man! For the most part it's pretty tasteful and nothing crazy or too personal...it should appeal to a lot of people, I hope at least!

im stealing your pictures as wall papers =)

^ want some mazdaspeed body parts to go on your BB? :)

how much im interested. also koni yellows

Haha ok guys...I was just messing around...not parting out at this point...and just FYI if I do I it'll just be body and wheels...won't go to suspension too much of a pita. :(

If you still have stock suspension, it's not a PITA to swap it out. I know I would try to help you out.

if you do keep me in mind for the ms body parts
thanks jesse

That's really nice of u man...bummer I didn't keep the stock suspension tho.

Anyone who's pm'd me commented here on a part-out... I will def keep u in mind, but pls remember locals will trump u if the part-out arises...I'm really sorry but I'm sure u understand.

In the event of a Partout, I would be very interested in those wheels if the price is right :)! Keep me in mind sir and GLWS

Bumpitty

If i drive up from Vancouver BC Canada to Texas will you accept my offer of buying your mazdaspeed kit? figuratively that is.

Haha damn im not sure ANY body kit is worth that, even if it has been discontinued :)

Canada to Texas is up? LOL

Yeah everything is backwards in canada like toilet water flushing counter-clockwise ;)

is the full car for sale right now?

Yes and thats how i'd prefer to sell it!! Part-out=time i dont really have :(

Where are u located?

Arizona here. Is the listing price the same and still up to date ? :D!

Yeah man. My goal is to get some better pics and interior pics by tonight. The orig post date is from a while ago but the edit date is from recently...basically my car was for sale, decided to keep it, but moving now so it's back up for sale. Let me know if u have any questions.

Alright So your moving where? and are you original owner? IS their any engine mods? Look forward to interior pics btw.

just moving from Austin to Houston. No real rush to sell it, we just don't need 3 cars and we'll need the extra cash for closing costs, etc. :(

Uploading clean exterior shots now, will take some interior pics tonight so you can see the interior led's and illuminated shift knob!! :boink:

SEE NEW EXTERIOR PHOTOS ON POST #1, INTERIORS COMING TONIGHT :rock:

bump, see post #1 for updated pictures including INTERIOR shots

I dunno man ... those rims are terrible ... i think you should trade with me to help sell that car better:wiggle::wiggle::lol::lol:

free bumpy: glws

Haha when I first read that I was like WHAT??!! Lol
Are u on stockers?? That might end up being the case if no one buys her whole! Thanks for the bump :)

Where in Houston are you moving?

We're not really sure yet. We may not move until this summer o maybe even next summer, depends on a lot of things. But most likely west nw Houston. we'd love to be in Katy but not sure we can afford it. We shall see I guess! Where r u in Houston?

I'm in south Houston by the Medical Center right now, but looking to move more towards Westpark Tollroad and Beltway 8 for my wife's job.

Yessir, S2 stockers (aka the 40th anny wheels basically). Np, I'm sure she will sell though so no worries.

Oh cool. It's all pretty new to us bt I'm working near 290 and Sam Houston tollway. She'll have to find a job there but hopefully it's in west Houston too.

Oh man I love those!! I'll let u know, time to put my patience hat on :)

It's still all new to me too lol.

Oh u were in Waco right?

Yea been here a year

dont trade rims i like them. Also ill have to work on selling my eclipse right now but im definitely interested in the car.

Haha I'll try not but we'll just see I guess. Glad to hear ur interested! Do u know anything about rotaries? Is ur eclipse listed now?
