Feeler: '04 RX-8 6-spd, Tit grey, light mods

-UPDATED-

I have an '04 RX-8 6-spd in Titanium grey with the Sports Package (xenons, DSC).

29,000 miles

Factory options: Rear wing, 6-cd changer, splash guards, rotary accent package, wheel locks.
The car weighs 2967lbs with full tank of gas.

Mods: B&B catless mid-pipe, Whiteline Sway bars, Dunlop SP SS Race 255/35/18 tires (40%), Ate Super Blue brake fluid, Brembo Slotted Rotors, some extra Hawk HP+ pads, XM Satellite Radio, clear side markers, LED front parking lights, Hoen Xenon-match foglight bulbs. All stock parts included. 17" Sport Edition Fox5 wheels with Dunlop Graspic DS-2 snow tires (~65%) are available for $500 extra.

Its in good shape, save for a couple nicks and scratches. I'd be looking for $19,900 (reduced) to keep me from trading it in. I'm currently located in Covington, KY, but could easily deliver to upstate NY, or near there.

Let me know if there's any interest.

You may want to check Kelly blue on the value. You are asking almost 2K over what it is worth.

Not sure... Currently looking at leasing a Z4 3.0i, 328i (coupe), or Mazdaspeed6. The Mazdaspeed6 probably had the best chance right now, simply due to price.

Yeah, you're right... They say $18,935 in Good condition. I would sell it for that, but I'd take all the fun bits off and sell them separately.

So, if someone is interested in the car, stock, I'll sell it for $18,900.

All the aftermarket parts will be for sale if the car is sold stock, or traded in. I added some brake items in my original post that I had forgotten, too.

I'd take $19,900 as it sits right now, w/out snows.

Tell me if I'm being reasonable or not.

Much more reasonable. Add ons are cool but rarely add to the price. Good luck with the sale!

Thanks.

Yeah, I offered an alternative price with the car in stock condition for that reason exactly

ummm... its normal... IF you don't have a catalytic converter in.

Yes, you, too, can have a flame shooter exhaust if you just replace your cat with a midpipe. Have you ever heard your exhaust pop on upshift? Well, that's a little explosion in your exhaust (this is normal for many cars). Take out the cat and they become bigger explosions (especially due to the rotary engine - rich running, lots of blow-by, and a little oil injected for good measure). Sometimes, these explosions won't occur until they get enough air, outside of the exhaust. Then, they're louder and you'll sometimes actually see the flame (especially is you're stationary). I've heard of completely stock exhausts being able to pop flames on RX-8s, too. I have a stock muffler and B&B Midpipe.
