EDIT: SOLD!!!!

2004 RX8, just over 38K miles, VR exterior, red/black interior. GT package, including navigation, spoiler, every option except appearance package, even spare tire (currently removed from car but included in sale). Any and all services have been performed, engine original and tested. Manual and original sticker, no mods. The only things I have added are:

1) Parrot CK3100 Bluetooth kit (included, see my install write-up)
2) Audiolink USB player (input any mp3 player, including iPod)

Service-wise, all 30K service completed, including:

1) Trans/diff replacements with Redline fluids
2) Brake flush with ATE Super Blue
3) Oil changed, added Fumoto valve
4) New coils and RB wires

Warranty services include:

1) Left rear taillight new (had condensation)
2) Battery, plugs and starter all replaced around 20K miles (sympton: slow cold crank)
3) Flash up to date

Tires are Pirelli PZero Nero M&S. Rotated about 2K miles ago, friend who runs the tire shop I go to said he thought 12-15K more out of them. Rims have a little rash. Pads have been squealing a little, they're probably ready to get replaced, I can put those in before the sale, if desired.

Never smoked in. I won't say this car has been wiped with a diaper or anything, but I take good care of it. I'm the second owner, previous owner was a responsible adult as well, so this car has never been thrashed. However, I will tell you that I do run it hard now and again, to keep that housing nice and clean, but no abuse whatsoever.

The only bads:

1) First owner told me a deer hit the driver's door when he had it. Purely cosmetic.

2) Two months after I got it, a woman backed into the driver's door again (poor door) in a parking lot (apparently, back-up sensors on an R-class aren't loud enough). Slow speed, all cosmetic, I have all paperwork from that repair, very reputable shot. It's undetectable, to my eye at least.

3) Small chip, right front fender, touch-up applied. Very hard to see, but if you see it, it looks like - well - touch-up paint on a chip, but I thought better than letting water continue to get into it.

Why am I selling? Well, big combination of things, but it comes down to, I don't keep cars that long, and between gas prices, my wife taking the summer off from work, the minor impracticalities that come with this car (I have two little kids)...I'm just ready to move on and save some money. I'm probably going to go beater until I decide what to get next.

Asking price is $17,000. Please no lowballs. This car is truly in great shape, a low mileage, well-cared for, get-in-and-go, unmodded example of rotary goodness. Please email or PM with questions/inquiries. A couple quick pics below, will take more with interest.
