I've got a 2008 Mazda RX-8 Grand Touring in black with just over 79000 miles on it. It's a six speed manual. The last owner hit a curb turning right, so there's a large dent along the passenger side. A dealership in Houston quoted me $1000 to fix the damage. I haven't gotten a quote from a smaller, independent body shop, but I would think that it would be less. There's also some scuffing on the driver side quarter panel, (see pictures). The price has been adjusted to reflect the damage.
The damage is just cosmetic, the car still runs great. The good news is, the interior is still in fantastic condition. It's a grand touring with navigation, so it's got pretty much everything that was possible to get put into the car. That includes fog lights, heated leather seats, power driver's seat, Bose brand speakers, 6 disc CD changer, the appearance package, keyless entry and start, and the power moonroof. The leather seats are sand colored. Tires still have quite a few miles left on them.

It is running on 10w-30 oil right now. I also have a carfax on hand from last month that shows no reported accidents, clean title, that it passed an emissions test about 200 miles ago, etc. No worries about loss of compression for the next 4 years or 20,000 miles since the engine core warranty is still valid.

I'm in Oklahoma City, so let me know if you're interested. Again, since there's some body damage it won't be the nicest looking car ever (unless you're looking at the driver's side, where it's just regular wear and tear that wouldn't be noticeable if the car wasn't black...), but since the RX-8 is all about the feel and experience of driving, think of this as a cheap way to get into the car.

... No interest in this one at all...? Anyone...?

Swilken

... Is my price too high?

According to nadaguides.com, your asking price would be fair for my area.

Swilken

Okay, knocked the price down a bit...

Swilken

$11500?

Swilken

Price cut again... Surely someone is interested...?

Resell is hard on them unfortunately

I'll spread the word though!

lafrad

Is the car still available?

lafrad

If its still available, can you take some interior pics? driver seat, console, nav?

Swilken

Sure, here you go.

Fair warning though, these pictures are from about a week ago. I just ran out to the garage to check the miles, and it's up to 79322 now. I don't use it as a daily driver anymore since I've got it listed for sale, but I can't resist taking it out once every few days...

Swilken

So... Can I assume your lack of response means you aren't interested...?

lafrad

Nope. Still have interest... just need my Charger sold, and am waging an epic battle in my mind over a used RX8 vs a new BRZ.

Swilken

Well, I am obviously biased, but the RX-8 in this case is much cheaper than a new BRZ. It also puts out 30 more horsepower and has a rotary... There will be plenty of BRZs in the future. But the RX-8... Not anymore.

And the back seats on the RX-8 are actually useful. I've been in a BRZ, and those back seats...

lafrad

I don't need back seats, part of the desire to ditch the charger. I'll let you know, I'm working it through my brain right now

Swilken

Yeah, I don't really use them either...

But, it would still be a lot cheaper. And you'd be helping me out .

Well, I'll be here.

if you still have it by october 6th you should come to the meet we're having in okc

I'm out... ended up with a truck instead... LOL. I'll probably be looking again next fall.

Swilken

And sold.

Hope the buyer takes care of it. I'm gonna miss it...
