No, annual inspection expired in 12/2016. That's not a warrenty. I cant get a new inspection myself because I transfered tags and registration to my other r3.

 

Why did you buy another r3 instead of keeping this one? So when is the warranty good until?

 

I bought another R3, because it was the 2011 (last year of the RX-8), plus being a R3 made it better and my wife likes red more. The 2011 R3 is a piece of history and I found a great deal at the time, so decided to get it. Unfortunately, I'm actually selling the 2011 as well now, which is also posted on the forum.

The 2009 Blue R3 has no warranty as it is a rebuilt title. The rebuilt title on any car voids the warranty.

 

Pretty sure the Spirit-R version(Japan only) was a 2012 model year.

 

I meant in the USA as I'm located in USA. However, yes other markets had different varieties and years.

 

For what it's worth, I test drove this car in the fall of 2016. It pulled hard and to my eye was pretty much as advertised. I would have purchased it, but wasn't willing to meet at the asking at the time because of my own broken RX-8 to deal with and the potential risks outlined in this thread.

Bump and GLWS.

 

It's not internet opinion, it's fact. The beauty of facts are they're right whether or not you agree.

Insurance companies are not going to repair a car if it's cheaper for them to simply give you money to buy another one.

Either way, I'm not trying to ruin your sale or anything, I was just making sure you weren't confusing people on whether or not it was salvage at one point.

GLWS.

 

Bump price drop to $9,250

 

Sold!!!

 

Sweet!!! Man rx8's are hard as hell to sell!!

 

Well, they can be sold for pennies, but I'm not going to ever do that. It's sad that the rx8 market has plummeted so much at least in the US.

 

I am glad I got my S2 RX-8. Mazda's 50th anniversary of RE press release info showed that there are fewer than 17,000 S2 RX-8 in the world. S2 RX-8 can still sell for a fairly decent price.

 

Yes true. There are many S2's out there for great prices. The R3 market though is tough. True R3's aren't selling for the book value and unfortunately banks's only look at the book.

FYI These are number of R3's produced for the USA Market.

2009: 555
2010: 263
2011: 132

Have to realize that in actuality, far less are on the road now.

 

Mine barely makes it out... it's job is track duty.. so yeah I understand. Where did you get those numbers? I've been kicking around with the idea of getting a 10 or 11 GT as my daily... but only a few ever are on Autotrader.

 

I actually saw a red R3 for sale around my area.

Personally, I prefer GT's features, as it works as both a DD and a fun car. I like sunroof and heat seats. You can add most of the R3 stuff to a GT, but putting a sunroof in an R3 would be quite bit of work.

 

I reached out to Mazda's Customer Experience Center and they provided the numbers. It would be nice to figure out the current numbers on the road, but that would have to be a state to state inquiry with dmv.

I have a 09 automatic for sale, which I thought was a grand touring at first, but no sunroof, so just touring then?

 

That is true I'm not sure what would be easier. Cutting a hole in the roof to make the sunroof, or just cutting the roof at the pillars with a roof that already has the sunroof. The construction of the roof on the rx8, makes it pretty easy actually. Finding R3 parts to put on a GT is rather hard though. Hard to find and pricey.

 

I just posted my black R3 with 58k miles on autotrader today. What do you all think is a fair asking price?

 

Hey man I am interested can you DM me on facebook?
