GI/ 04 Black w/many mods and high mileage (17.7k?)-SoCAL
 

SOLD 4/17/2008

{edit} My wife and I had have two RX8's. We have traded in the 2005 WWP but are still looking to sell our 2004 BB.

I am hoping to walk away from the vehicle without any cash out of my pocket. I currently owe 15.3 on the car, so this is my selling point. The car is heavily modified, has been used monthly at autocross events, and is a pleasure to drive daily back and forth to work. The car currently has 81,600 miles and will increase quickly as I drive 75 miles each day. I want to sell the car as it sits, as I have removed parts for buyers who had expressed interest, and then backed out....so I'm left with a car with less parts....so, not willing to part out anymore....car will be sold as is.

Pics of Damaged items
 

Here's some pics taken this morning (11/7/07) of the following:

Front bumper. 2 pics showing the two areas of damage on the drivers side, and one area of damage on the passenger side of the front bumper.

Inside. Pic showing the damage to the center console button.

Rear Bumper. Pic showing the damage to the left of the plate.

Windshield. It is hard to take a pic of sand pitting on a windshield....

...I hope this addresses all the concerns I listed above. I want to be as honest as possible, so that you can make the best, informed decision. Thanks again for being patient with the pics.

it's a tough market out there for used 8's. Good luck Keith!

hey dude. does your wife substitute at kwis elem? my friend saw your 8 and went to go talk to her. he's looking to buy but he already has an FD. Either he buys the 8 or gets the fortune kit for his FD.

you might remember him. probably 6' tall, asian, hair is spiked back. he went with another friend
also he's pretty stupid bout 8's so he might have asked some really stupid questions. forgive him for that.

I own the black one....and yes, I do work at Kwis. He came in last week. his FD is beautiful. I told him that he is lucky to have such a beautiful FD....I would love to straight trade, but I need something family oriented...and going from a 4 seat rotary, to a 2 seat rotary would not be practical.

I would love to sell it to him, keep it with someone who can truely appreciate a rotary.

His questions were fine, he had two friends with him as well that helped.

I don't know if he is on the 7 or 8 forums, but you can always forward this link to him. Thanks.

nice. but i'm going to let out his secret...

his FD... dare i say it...is AUTO

highlight if you dare read it...

....with a heavy duty clutch, short shifter, lightened flywheel....this car may not be the easiest to learn on...:)

turkey week bump....gobble, gobble.

Hey are you selling both 8s or just yours?

both of them are up for sale...no thread yet for the white one as I was going to put it up once it is back to stock. If you are interested in the white one, send me a pm and I can get you my cell number. We can talk numbers.

77,300 and counting.....payoff now down, as I just made a car payment. I'm looking to get the payoff for this vehicle. I'm not looking to have any money in my pocket. If your interested in the vehicle, let me know and I can call to get a 30-day payoff for the vehicle.

Bump for a friend....

the black/chrom volk rims/tires, are those for sale? how much?

They may be for sale. If the buyer of my vehicle is not interested in the wheels, and wants to lower the selling price on the car, I could make that available.

I started a "Gauging Interest" thread in the California region thread....thinking that $2000 plus an OEM swap was reasonable, but no one was interested. I've asked people to make offers and I would arrange an interest list accoridng to the offers.

The wheels would only be sold, if that is what the buyer of my vehicle wants. I hope this make sense?

December bump. I may have a buyer for the car...and it does look like the wheels will need to go and be replaced with stock wheels. I'll be placing a seperate listing for the wheels and am looking for a local trade with wheels in good condition with good rubber.
