2009 RX-8 R3 Aurora Blue 77K miles

Year: 2009
Make: Mazda
Model: RX-8 R3
Price: $12,000
Mileage: 77,425
Color: Aurora Blue Mica
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (US State/Canada/Int): Kirkland, WA

Overview

  • I bought the car in 2013 at around 45k miles
  • Completely stock
  • No mechanical problems
  • All 4 tires replaced July 2024, 3k miles on them (Continental Extreme Contact DWS06 Plus)
  • Battery replaced within the last year

Issues

  • Passenger side window slips off track sometimes and needs to be physically pulled to catch and roll up
  • Driver side lock button is a little flaky
  • Tail light gaskets have been leaking, both probably need to be replaced
  • Some of the Recaro seat cutout plastic trim came apart. The clips are bad, I still have the trim, I never bothered to glue or replace them.
  • Some visible wear and tear, see photos

Love the blue.. one of my favorite colors. A couple of questions that'll help you sell the car eventually.
  1. Do you have compression numbers from the engine? Either using the Rotary Compression Tester or from a mechanic with a Mazda compression tester?
  2. Do you have pictures of which of the bulbs on the tail lights are out?
  3. Can you highlight all of the dents / imperfections on the paint?
  4. Of the dents you do have, how did they happen?
  5. What is with the exhaust? It appears bent and crooked.. the passenger side is recessed when compared to the driver side.
  6. Can you include pictures of the engine bay and the trunk?
  7. Can you include another picture of the passenger side of the car like you have the driver side? The second picture in your post.
  8. The cars VIN so people can run the auto history on the car.
