TX 2004 rx8 velocity red 6spd w/ new engine

I am listing this for my mother - so that car was not ragged on and was properly mantained by the dealership.

due to a check engine light - and minor symptoms of a bad gasket - the car was brought in to the dealer ship and they reccomended replacing the engine as it might be on its way out.

In january the car had a new remanufactured engine and new clutch put in by the dealership - we have all reciepts and records.

74k on the chaisis - no more than a few thousand on the new engine

- 6 speed manual - sunroof - red and black leather seats - recently replaced yokohama s drive tires

overall the car is in great shape and has just had a lot of expensive work done.

would be great to hang on to but we got a suv for more room.



I have records of all recent work done to the car, and two sets of keys and remotes

I am not interested in any kind of trade, payment plan or financing.

the rear bumper is the only rough spot on the car:
it has one hole/tear in near the license plate and the corner paint is cracking.
- this sounds alot worse than it is, and is only cosmetic. and in passing most people wouldnt notice

- if you are interested please do not let this turn you off - this can be fixed -
we decided to not repair it so the buyer would not think this car was in a serious accident -its only minor paint work. ill get close up pictures soon.

$ 12,500XXXX now ---> 11,500

its located in the north houston area.

thanks,
the price is $13,600

and I believe it was a gasket that caused the engine being replaced - though Im not sure what the official diagnosis was - but i do have all the related paperwork.

its been garaged everything is in great shape - minus the rear bumper ill have to get some shots of it up. but the pictures were takes after the damage was already there.

here are the two spots on the rear bumper that need repair - the rest of the car is in great shape and these two mishaps in no way reflect the condition of the rest of the car...

but i want to be accurate to the condition of the car so potential buyers are not surprised.

anyone interested will not be dissapointed in the condition of the rest of the car.

thanks everyone for the interest -

just to clarify a few things- the above pictures show two spots - not three - the last one is posted sideways and i didnt want anyone to think its a third spot.

also questions I have been getting:

I am not the original owner-

no warranty -

no previous accidents-

the car has never been modified-

and the car was bought from and maintined by a mazda dealership.

price dropped again to 12,500

this a good deal for a car w/ a remanufactured engine and new clutch; both w/ very little miles on them.... the car is sitting now - so miles are not being added.
