The car is in great condition, NEVER had any engine or flooding issues, all recalls have been performed, and have had no mechanical or electrical failures. I can provide VIN# upon request. All scheduled maintenance has been done on time, oil is checked regularly and topped off as needed, and always changed at 3000 miles. Maintenance records available upon request. I’ve been running Royal Purple 5w20 oil and Mobile1 oil filters in this vehicle since I purchased the car, and I am the 1st and only owner of this vehicle. The car is garage kept, and has never seen snow and very very rarely even gets rained on. The car is red-lined occasionally when its driven like we’re supposed to, and never beat on. I only drove it on nice days, usually on the weekends, and 95% of the miles are highway miles.

There are some minor paint chips throughout the car from normal wear and tear, and there is one small scratch on the driver’s side rear door. Some idiot pushed their shopping cart into the car (haters) and I came out to the shopping cart resting comfortably on the door. =( It should be cheap to get it fixed, and I’ve touched it up as well. There are also your normal door dings but nothing major beyond what I listed above. This has all been taken into consideration and factored into my price. The interior of the car is spotless, never smoked in the car, the leather has been treated with leather protectant on a regular basis, and does not have cracks or any major wear marks. The car rarely sits in the sun, if it does then I always use my Mazda RX-8 windshield sunscreen (which will be included for free) and there is no sun damage to the interior. Everything inside is fully functional and spotless. Overall I think the car is in great condition.

I’m listing the car at $13,995 which I feel is reasonable but make me an offer, you never know! =) I just want to sell the car to someone who will appreciate the car and what the Renesis motor has to offer…our RX’s stand in a league of their own because the drivers know how to appreciate a car that’s meant to be driven.


Please feel free to contact me through this thread, private message me, or send me an e-mail at phi208 [at] gmail [dot] com. Serious inquiries only please. Thanks everyone!

bump again....

 

Price is high for an 05. Love the color.

 

Thanks for the reply Gilbert. I tried to price it below NADA and KBB prices for private party, and I know its well below retail for what the dealerships here in IL are selling Sport and Touring models with more miles for.

Please make me an offer if anyone is interested, don't lowball me but if the price is reasonable for both parties I'm willing to compromise.

I've also changed my asking price above as well, but its OBO so somebody take this beauty away....I think its a steal what I'm asking for it.

 

no 8 will go for KBB price...not even close. not that it is fair, but 8's resale value just sucks, not to mention winter is coming... check other posts on this board and you would get a fair idea about what price can sell your car.

 

Yeah tell me about it, you'd figure that KBB and NADA estimates should reflect market value since that's one of the main purposes of their sites...but I priced it based on that, trade-in offers I've received from the dealer, and how much they sell 8's with the same specs for at the dealer, and came up with a middle ground...*sigh* Oh well, if I can't sell it I'm gonna keep it...don't need/want to sell it that bad.

Anywho, I put OBO out there (means "or best offer" for those who don't know) so make me an offer I can't refuse! =)

 

Bump...
