IN 2005 Rx-8 rebuilt

Year: 2005
Make: Mazda
Model: RX-8
Price: $8500
Mileage: 0
Color: Black
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (US State/Canada/Int): IN

In February 2015 the car started to misfire really bad and found the cat was clogged at some point and it was too late. The motor was unable to be salvaged and I got a replacement motor to be rebuilt. I removed all material in the cat, o2 sensor is still attached. Car was also autocrossed a little bit, I believe like ~20 runs total.

Feel free to ask any questions!!

My post on here during some troubleshooting:

Feel free to text me 502-216-9219 or PM me.

Price: $8500 obo

VIN: JM1FE173950159169

Title has an accident reported saying - 09/11/2010 | KY | State Agency | REAR IMPACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE MODERATE DAMAGE REPORTED

I did not own the vehicle at the time of the reported accident above.

Current mileage: 61,xxx (I will see if I can get the updated mileage since its been down)

Always use Castrol GTX 10w40 with Mobile 1 filter.
Cat has been gutted as it was clogged, O2 is still there.

****THESE ARE NOT UPDATED PICTURES, CAR IS DIRTY FROM SITTING FOR A YEAR AND HALF****

Issues:
Has grass clippings all over it, I'm working to get it all cleaned up.
Visible scratch on driver side passenger door.
Dash is cracked which is common, you can use a sealer to hide them.
Driver side window has a few missing teeth on a gear.
Motor will more than likely need to be completely replaced, doubt it can be rebuilt.

Last time I tried to start the car it turned over and heard a clunk and I didn't want to try anything else. I believe an apex seal got stuck between the housing and rotor causing the lockup. When I looked up the codes it was giving a misfire from rotor 1 I believe. The car has been down since February 2015. It hasn't been a priority to fix or sell the car, but I'm motivated now. The car does still have a lien, but will be paid off if the car is sold. I would rather try and sell the car as is right now before sinking a few thousand to fix it.

That's. Pretty pricey for a non running rx-8... I have looked at 3 non runners In the last 2 months and they all where going for $2400 or less.

Interested to see updated pictures of the interior and exterior! Body damage or rust!? Rear bumper line up like it did from the factory? Quarter panel damage? Frame condition?

Yeah I've been out of the scene for awhile so I'm a little dumb on the prices. For the body, it has grass clippings all over it, I'm going to clean all of that off with clay bar and seal it this week/weekend. Then post updated pictures. No rust, no quarter panel damage, bumpers were fine last time I checked, and to the best of my knowledge the frame is in good condition.
