~72,000 miles, Stormy Blue Mica, 2 owners, both rotary heads. Taken GREAT care of!

Bad:
* A few very light scratches that can be fixed easily.
* A few pocks from the couple hailstorms over the years. They can probably just be popped out.
* Some firewall missing, presumably from mice?
* Passenger Dashboard is cracked (of course).
* No accidents, but two parking lot hit-and-run fender benders, all fixed and paint color matched.

Good:
*BRAND NEW Rear Tires! Pilot SS! Front tires are PSS as well, have good tread left on them. 255/35/18's all around.
*BRAND NEW Battery, Advance Auto Gold, 640CCW.
* Almost completely vanilla.
* Tinted windows, 30% all around.
* Aux cable mod.
* Fan cooler mod.
* Trickle charger.
* Never been tracked and has been driven well; mostly gently, but spirited, never forgetting to redline occasionally.
* Two key fobs, Rim lock, and maybe a few spare accessories I've collected over the years.

***NOTE*** PASSED INSPECTION February, 2020. Pictures are recent (February), I just hadn't gotten inspection on her in a few months...

 

 

EDIT: New Battery. Wouldn't start and the battery was over 2 years old. So with the few times it's died and not driving it often, that makes sense.

 

This is probably not a good place to post my ad (removed link to your FS ad)

you're right manudath, that was not a good place to post your ad.

do not randomly post your FS link in other people's threads, that is explicitly against our forum rules of conduct.

 

Thanks for removing the freeloader.

Why didn't he just make his own post...?

Nothing much new for the car, just got the last 3 recalls fixed (airbags and fuel pump), still for sale!

 

Still for sale? Any compression test done recently?

I'm in the market!

 

Screwed up. Thought you were parting this out. Sorry.

 

Update: Still for sale! Price lowered! I did get my compression numbers back and they're... not great. But considering the overall condition of the vehicle and the miles, I think the engine still has quite a bit of life to her, and she still runs just like she did when I got her.

The numbers, according to the dealer:
Rotor 1 Rotor 2
1 7.9 7.7
2 6.8 7.1
3 6.7 6.7
RPM 250 250

 

is this a base/sport model; no DSC?

 

It is the Sport model, but I thought it had DSC? I have the two stages of disabling; hitting the button turns off the one, and holding the button for a while turns it all off until a power cycle.

 

If you have DSC, it is not a base model. Strange that otherwise it looks like a base. Do you have halogen or HID headlights?

 

How does it look rust wise on the frame? Pretty clean?

 

Ugh, I can't find the guide I looked at before, but I remember it took forever to figure out which version I had. If I recall correctly, I have the "Sport" version (07 meaning) with the additional Sport package upgrades, meaning the DSC, LSD, spoiler maybe? Man, I should've written it down, haha.

No rust as far as I can tell.

Note: I went ahead and removed the trickle charger. The car died and few times and I couldn't figure out why, I think the trickle charger got old or defective and was somehow *drawing* power from the battery. Since removing it, no more dying!

 

sorry, I’m not real keen on the Sport differences. So it has DSC, but no sunroof?
.

 

Correct.

 

Price lowered to $5000. It has a couple thousand more miles on it, tops. I'll check in the morning. Condition and everything is still the same.

 

PM sent.

 

is this car still available?

 

Vehicle is now sold! Thanks everyone for the interest!

 

Hello, Is your car still available? I live in VA and interested in buying an RX car

 

never mind, just saw the sold post
