Mileage: 197000
Color: Brilliant Black
Private or Dealer Listing: Private Listing
Location (State/Prov): TN

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!NO TRADES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Title is in hand.

Selling my high mileage RX-8. I picked up this car from eBay, it was a basket case. Since ownership I have replaced:
-5000 miles on Kuhmo SPT's
-OEM coils
-Racing Beat wires
-OEM plugs
-all filters, flushed coolant, trans, differential
-battery is a new Optima Red Top 1000cca
-New clutch pedal assembly (welded it to prevent another break)
-all black steering wheel (original was very worn)
-Axxess iPod kit
-new tailight assembly

I just cleaned the TB and MAF.

It is loaded, all options except for the appearance package. Navigation, heated seats, Bose, you name it. 2 tone black and tan leather. I have been using the Valet key, that is all I got with it. I do have a pair of flip keys, one which is cut and programmed, one that is still blank.

There is a chip in the windshield that I can take care of before sale. Also, it will have new ceramic pads and rotors all around.

FULL DISCLOSURE:
-The Carfax and Autocheck are clean. However I had a friend inspect it and he thinks the hood and left fender were replaced or repainted at some point in time.
-The engine in it is believed to be replaced at around 35000 miles. No other documentation for another engine, or a rebuild can be found. I believe it is losing a coolant seal. I was getting coolant in the front housing when it would sit for a few days. I used Bar's Ceramic Head Gasket repair (I blocked off the heater core and TB) and it has been fine ever since. No issues, no coolant loss, even in 100+ degree weather.
-There is a dent on the driver side C-pillar, and on the passenger side wheel arch. Neither are very bad, and I never bothered to fix them.
-The airbag cover on the passenger side is cracked. Heat+sun=bad.
-The CEL for the Secondary Air Injection Solenoid just popped up. Not a big deal.
-Both sun visors are crap and I have removed them (still have them though)

Otherwise, she is a clean car. I love driving it, but I miss my old RX-7's. I am selling this just to add to my funds for whenever the 'next' RX model comes out.
