2007 RX-8 GT Sunlight Silver 81k Miles
Selling my baby. It's taken me a while to get this up because I love her so much.
My first car was an 89 Rx7 - GTUs, so i was never a stranger to rotaries. I babied this car for years and still give her a redline a day as you should.
I'm in Simi Valley, CA
Asking $10,000, but I'll let the market decide.
Arrived at that price as I feel there aren't many clean S1's out there. Especially not 2007 GT - M/T in silver with loving/knowledgeable owners. The car has never had any issues aside from Cat Failure possibly due to a faulty Ignition Coil. Had a compression check done when that happened 3 years ago, and I will have one performed soon for this sale.

The Good:
-60k miles on engine,
-Second owner.
-Engine was replaced at 19.5k miles
-Purchased with 24.5k miles.
-I changed the oil myself with Royal Purple 5w30 every 4-5k miles and always keep it topped up.
-I have receipts for oil and filter purchases which i would buy 5qts at a time, and 5 filters or so.
-New Air filter.
-New Ignition coils plugs wires.
-New front brake rotors and pads all around
-OEM Pads.
-The paint is in overall great shape,
-Garage kept and began using Zaino regularly within a year of purchasing in March of 2012 if i recall correctly. Every 6ish month applications.
-All recalls performed within a couple months.
-Airbag/Fuel pump rings etc.
-Catalytic Converter has about 20-30k miles I'll have to check when it failed but was replaced under warranty when i was under the 6 year/60k mile warranty.
The not so bad:
-She's got some dings as a 10 year old car would. I flew to San Francisco to buy her so some of the dings came from the original owner.
-I being an overzealous young driver have added some curb rash. Still, everyone says she's one of the cleaner 8's around.
-Sunlight silver hides flaws well compared to other colors.
-Coolant light stuck on, broken sensor.
-I flushed the coolant when the light first came on Probably at about 40k miles, light stayed on and I learned about the sensor failing on many 8's so i left it.
Now the tank is quite oxidized and due for a replacement.
-Probably due for another coolant flush as well and I have an extra Gallon of the Motorcraft fl22 coolant for that.
-Tire are wasted, I might get to replacing, but don't want to put cheapies on her so maybe best to leave to next owner's preference.
That's all I can think of for now. Feel free to post questions on here.
