VIN: JM1FE1C40A0403705
Title: Clean and on hand

Performance:

AEM intake in grey
Interior:
Cobb Tuning "COBB ****" in black

Exterior:

Notes:
Purchased in 2018 and imported from Canada myself. I’m the 3rd owner. Original paint and accident free. I used a paint depth gauge to audit the car prior to purchasing it. This car is my daily driver so a bit more wear and tear. Tires are band new, less than 1k miles. All service current. Stock interior minus the shift ****, OEM **** comes with the car too.
The Bad:
AC doesn't currently work. A valve within the dash needs to replaced. New parts from Mazda are no longer available.
Rear tail lights fog up, the gaskets need to be replaced. I have new ones on hand.
A few of the lights in the drivers side tail light have gone out.. this was due to the moister.
Fender liners in both driver and passenger side have holes. I suspect this happened in 2023. We had a hurricane and lots of debris was being blown around while I was driving home from LA.
There is a crack / divot in the windshield that I always forget about. It doesn't get any bigger and it's behind the mirror, so I always forget about it. Been like this for over a year.
The Good:
Some extras that come with the car. In the trunk the OEM trunk liner that says "Rx8" is included.
The OEM trunk cargo net is installed.
A mazda trunk organizer also comes with the car.
A OEM series 2 navigation head unit comes with this car. While you're fixing the AC.. you could install this.
The OEM iPod kit also comes with this car. Brand new, unopened.
I've not done a compression test on this car. It starts and drives fine at this point.. however anyone who's interested in purchasing the car can perform one if they want. Or pay for a dealership to do so. Car always starts and pulls to redline without any issues.
I'll be sure to update this post with anything else I have for the car.
