FS: 2009 R3, Black. 55k miles.
This is a feeler post. My beater car just bit the dust. I have a new baby and it really isn't practical to keep the R3 any more. It mostly sits in the car port. The car has 52k miles. I've owned since 45k miles in May of 2019. It has the new BHR ignition system and a BHR catless midpipe. CEL is on as a result. Old tires but I may throw on new ones before the sale.
It hasn't been compression tested. But if the numbers are good, would anyone be interested? It was in a fender bender at some point in it's life before me. I can give you VIN if you are interested in scoping it out more. Pics from after I did a rotary (haha) paint correction on it. These are about 6 months old, it's dirty currently. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...7992b0bcb2.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...4366710127.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...a5dcdac971.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...c85957321a.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...a5eef87168.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...885b16ae75.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...edf769c317.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.rx8...3e67a622a4.jpg |
More Pics. These are from immediately after the paint correction.

Yes. What price were you thinking if compression looks good?

Dang, bummer to hear. Hopefully you can find a reliable daily driver and keep the R3 if it's meaningful to you.
You've taken very good care of the vehicle and I remember when you picked it up. Easily one of the cleanest r3's around imo and definitely cleaner than mine was when I found it in stock form. $14k sounds very fair. GLWS :) |
Really nice R3! Sorry you have to sell, been there myself, kids, life, etc. Email sent.

Does it have a clean title?

That’s possibly not accurate without knowing certain parameters that haven’t been revealed yet. Maybe, maybe not. It would be more truthful to state that both buyers and the seller need to pursue their own good diligence in making a sound decision. Best wishes to both.

I think your in the ballpark but for reference I bought a red one last June with 13,800 for $13,500.
Boy that’s a nice car though. I would stay at your price for a while or keep it and I can say both my car seats fit in the back fine. One for a baby and one for a 6 years old. |
Bump. I am going to find a shop that will do the compression test, though I don't think there are any nearby
|
I think any Mazda dealer should be able to do a compression test. For what it’s worth, I think you’ll get decent offers once compression is done. You’re asking a good bit to not know engine is healthy.
|
Mazda dealerships in Charleston or Savannah may be the closest to you. I would see if they can do a compression test for you. Most Mazda dealerships can do them.

Wow...that is depressing. Rx8s really aren't even that old. 10 year old car that they pretty much don't support anymore.
|
How handy are you? Have you changed your own spark plugs? You might be able to borrow (or even buy) a Rotary Compression Tester. Although the guy that makes them just had a loss in the family, so he will be out of the shop for a couple of days.

Update:
Hello everyone, So there is a lot of interest in this car. I put it out as a feeler to see if I could sell when the time comes and that doesn't look like it'll be an issue. Make no mistake- it will go to someone here before anywhere else. Regarding the compression test. I am currently working 3 jobs to support a wife and new baby and there are no shops nearby that offer compression test services. A few have reached out saying I should buy my own handheld, but honestly I'd rather just have a knowledgeable shop do it. I don't imagine holding on to this car forever, so I assume that the right buyer will be waiting patiently for when that day comes. Thanks for your interest, I am calling around Monday to see where the closest shop is for tests. As of right now, it has no issues starting or idling. The only issues I've ever encountered was when the battery was failing, which was replaced. |
Just curious...if there's more than 1 potential buyer, would you be going by highest bidder or something? Also would love some more interior pics, thx! PM'd

Your R3 is fantastic. Rest assure it's got sentimental value. Granted, not as much as your new family of course. Which makes picking up another R3 posted in my autotrader recently very tempting. Yes, I already own a red one, but this black one going for 14G's Cdn is starting to look very hard to pass up. Just wish it wasn't black. lol ;-) Hope yours goes to a good home. |

This still available by chance?

Hello all. I got locked out of my account for a while and I am finally back.
Update on the RX8. With the way ole' Joe is leading us-gas prices and what not, as well as the needs of my family, this car is no longer a feeler for sale but is moving into the active stage of selling :( It has 54k miles now, still needs new tires, and just got a fresh oil change. No compression test yet. I have had Teamrx8 offer to send me his tester but with working 3 jobs I don't much have the time, know-how, or curiosity to get it done myself. If someone took it without a test that would be great with me. |
How much are you asking without the test?

Help posting on FOR SALE THREAD
I would love some assistance in posting my Rx8 in the FOR SALE thread. I tried to create a thread and it said I did not have permissions. I have been a member of this site for over a year. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update
Hey guys,
I am providing an update. Here’s the deal. I put this post out as a FEELER because the fact is I DONT want to sell the car. But with a new baby and a wife that doesn’t want to work, I may be forced to very shortly. I’m doing everything I can to make ends meet where I don’t have to sell the car, but that moment may come soon- in the next month or so. If I can snag a better job, I’ll hang onto it. The car now has 55k miles and still needs new tires- but I don’t have the funds to get them right now. Thanks for your interest, sorry I’ve been out of reach. |
tell that baby to get to work !

what color is the car ? How much are you asking? |
Hello Everyone.
I have had numerous offers on this car with many willing to come down ASAP with 11k cash in hand. At this point I am strapped for cash and I am ready to let the car go now. When I originally made this post it was to see what kind of interest there was-which turned out to be quite a lot. If anyone is wanting to buy, send me a pm with your offer. Thanks |
If it had a compression test with good numbers it would more than likely be gone because that is a good price but if it needs a red hood no so good
