Automatic, tastefully modded, single family owner, all extras incl. window sticker!!
Well, this is my baby. Ugh. This is about as clean as it gets. 74k miles, 4 port, 4-speed Automatic.
My grandfather originally bought it January 1, 2004, I believe, and put 3900 miles on it. He had to sell it in 2005, and I have driven it ever since. Lived on the California Coast its whole life. Clean title, never smoked in, never tracked, never seen snow or salted roads. Was garaged for the first half of its life, lived outside the second half. Factory paint protection (see pics). Always driven in manual mode, redlined at least once a week, 100% dino oil, Marvel premixed. The VIN is in a bunch of images, you can grab it from there. I haven't looked at the carfax yet, but I'll explain everything I know. I had the engine compression tested at the dealership at around 58k miles (roughly 15k miles ago?) because of a hard start while hot problem. See pics for the compression numbers and notes from the dealership. After replacing or upgrading the starter, coil packs, wires and battery, it turns out it was the new battery. Yes, the replacement battery was bad, which is why I did everything else. So it's on the 3rd battery, optima yellow top. I know everything that has ever happened to this car since 2004. Always waited 30 sec or so during higher RPM warmup period before driving. Never redlined while cold. Almost all dings were professionally pulled out, body is straight. See if you can find the one ding...hint, it's on the rear passenger side fender. It has flooded twice, once by a roommate who moved it out of the driveway while I wasn't home 10 years ago, and once by a body shop moving it out of the bay. See both of the Imgur albums for everything. I'll stick a few pictures in-line, but I took about 70 pictures today. https://imgur.com/a/kF84i https://imgur.com/a/Ro44e Original extras include:
Things modified from stock: Appearance and interior/audio upgrades, front to back:

The car still for sale?
|
Yes, still for sale. I'm down the road a few miles from Laguna Seca.
In fact, the next Monterey Cars and Coffee is held there in two weeks, so I'm going to take it with a For Sale sign. If no takers by then, it's going up on cragslist. My wife knows I'm dragging my feet... Also, the stupid dealership hasn't called me back about the recalls. I really want those done before the sale. I'll have to remember to bug them tomorrow morning. |
Is this somehow still for sale?

I got two of the air bag recalls done. I'm scheduled with the dealership for the remaining 2 in a few weeks. I need to do a SMOG check since the registration is up, so I'll schedule that in the next week or so. I need to find the CARB certificate for the Racing Beat air intake, in case they ask for it. I recently replaced the battery since it was dying from low usage, and I recently replaced the spark plugs as well. Mileage is up to 75k, I'm driving it twice a week to keep the battery charged up and fluids circulating. Got an oil change at the dealership while it was in for the recalls. |
sweet rx8- looks just like mine
