CA SOLD 2004 Mazda RX8 Grand Touring 6MT - 49k Miles, No Accidents - $7400

VIN: JM1FE173640104869
Year: 2004
Make: Mazda
Model: RX-8 Grand Touring
Price: $7400 - SOLD
Mileage: 49,729
Color: Gray
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (US State/Canada/Int): Berkeley, CA

For sale is a 2004 Mazda RX-8 in Titanium Gray Metallic over a black leather interior. Power is delivered to the rear wheels courtesy of a 1.3 L RENESIS rotary engine mated to a 6-speed manual transmission making 238 HP at 8,500 RPM from the factory. This RX-8 is a low-mileage example with no accidents and a clean California title showing only 49,729 miles on the original chassis and engine.

This Mazda RX-8 is equipped with the Grand Touring package, adding the following (fully-functioning) equipment to the already-extensive list of features offered with the 2004 RX-8:
  • Dynamic Stability Control
  • Bose Audio
  • Automatic Day/Night Rearview Mirror
  • Electric Moonroof
  • Leather Trimmed Upholstery
  • Faux Leather Side Door Trim Material
  • 8 Way Power Driver's Seat
  • Heated Front Bucket Seats
  • Lumbar Support
  • Front Fog Lights
  • Dual Power Heated Mirrors
This Mazda RX-8 was purchased new from the dealer by my neighbor’s daughter, and was gifted to my neighbor in 2009. It has been a Bay Area car its entire life and was serviced at local Mazda dealerships. The car is bone stock and has never been modified. I purchased the RX-8 from my neighbor in January as a “weekend car”. Due to COVID-19, I have put less than 300 miles on it.

This vehicle is in excellent condition, particularly the interior which is immaculate. There are only a few minor flaws commensurate with age documented in the photos and below:
  • The front brake pads are worn and need to be replaced.
  • The paint shows rock chips and other imperfections and in some places, the previous owner touched up the paint.
  • There is a paint scuff underneath the rear passenger taillight and a small crack in the plastic bumper there. My neighbor (the previous owner) tells me the vehicle was rubbed by someone pulling out of a parking space.
  • As with most RX-8’s, the engine coolant reservoir light will come on when driving on an incline or accelerating vigorously, even if the coolant is topped up.
The engine was recently compression-tested by Rick’s Rotary/Rick’s Performance in Pleasanton, the preferred shop of Bay Area rotary engine enthusiasts. Testing showed compression well within Mazda’s specifications. The car starts easily, cold or warm:

Carfax shows no accidents and I have a clean California in hand. The car most recently passed smog in February.

Contactless viewing can be arranged. Payment will be accepted in cash (transacted in-person at my bank) or cashier’s check (issued in-person at your bank) only, no exceptions.
