$10,000 firm Mint condition Mazda RX-8 Shinka with 23,000 original miles

Mint!!!! Heated garage storage and only driven 2000 miles a year in summer. Yes this has the 4 speed auto with paddles and the 4 port engine. I just bought it from the original owner. Has black cherry paint, parchment leather interior and sliding tilt sunroof. Every recall was taken care of immediately at the local dealer in Brunswick Maine. Original owner always premixed 8oz per full tank. Runs like a top. Cold starts perfect, Hot starts perfect. Haven’t done a compression test yet but I have NO doubt. Runs awesome. I’m at a cross roads and will either sell outright or buy a good set of BHR coils and drive it to death.
I am firm at $11,000
call 207-313-4537 if interested.

If someone has interest and sends a phone number or calls, I’ll send photos and do a compression test. The forum kicks off my photos. Says they are too large.

Yup

or say a Husband or wife that sits in traffic often or has physical disabilities. Come on stick lover don’t be so closed minded. Maybe to the majority of sports car lovers love stick but there are people who just want a sexy survivor that can function with car seats in the back. I love driving standards but I’m not an elitist mangina.

Great looking Shinka! Were I in the market for one - with an automatic - yours would be at the top of my list. Except I wouldn't have a list because the list of mint condition Shinkas is quite short. Probably only a handful out there, if that.

If it's as mint as it appears - and if it did well in a compression test - I'd be calling you now. And I'd driving home thinking I got what feels like a rare, exclusive $40K car for only… $10K. Wow.

Fingers crossed.

Please folks, your input is not required in Sales threads.


Nobody cares what you think the price should be, nor your opinions on automatics.....


Beautiful car...

Compression numbers being available changes the dynamic of this sale for the better. Those are good numbers and the deviation from rotor to rotor is within acceptable ranges.
