CA WTB: RX-8, low miles, 6 spd MT (So cal)

I'm in the market for a new car, my budget is $11k (all cash)

Looking for a well taken care of RX-8 with under 60k miles, clean title and clean carfax, 6 spd MT

There are 2 RX-8s at used car dealerships in my area for this price but I'd rather buy it from a person than a dealership.

you ave to take into account of other things too. You may have to pay a little more up front because its a dealership but the dealership inspects them and stuff like that. i know i know, sometimes dealerships sale lemons but there are lemon laws now so itll keep you safe when buying from dealerships. make sure to get a carfax from either dealership or private seller. good luck with finding one!

The problem is that most dealerships do not know what they're looking at when it comes to rotary-engined cars. I learned this mistake when I bought my old FC off a used car dealer lot long time ago - only to bust a seal about 5000 miles later.

I have a 2005 Velocity Red Mica RX8 6-speed Touring that I might get rid of by Summer. I currently have the following mods:

- Burnout KD-IV Front Lip (Painted VR)
- Progress Technology Sway Bars
- Agency Power Endlinks
- AFE Short Shifter w/ new delrin cup from RP
- Fluid Motorsports Synchro Saver
- Carbotech XP10 Fronts / Carbotech XP8 Rears
- Custom Stainless-steel braided Teflon-coated brake lines
- BHR Ignition Kit (LS2 / Yukon coils)
- AEM CAI - polished
- Greddy Spectrum Elite exhaust

For maintenance, I only use:

- Idemitsu Rotary Premix - Half a case goes to the new owner
- FP Plus Gasoline - Half a gallon goes to the new owner
- Royal Purple 10W40 Motor Oil
- Redline MT90 Trans Fluid
- Motul RBF600 Brake Fluid
- Redline 75W90 Diff Fluid
- Series II OEM Mazda Oil Filter

I'm not in a rush to sell the car. I just figured if I get what I want, I'll go buy that E90 M3 sooner.

45k miles, pristine, no leaks, and no grinds.

$13,500. So for $2500 more you're getting a ton of items which if you don't like. You CAN EASILY get rid of them here within minutes.

Please PM me if you're interested.

Thats going to be one looooong drive! But I'll still be stuck with the problem of putting the car back to stock and getting it smogged so I can register it in Cali.

Yeah...long but fun drive. I'm not familiar with the requirements for smogging a car....the upgrades that I have done were 50 state legal.
