2004 RX8 6 speed manual

 

This is a 2004 Mazda Rx8. I purchased this car to do an LSX swap, but I am looking to go into a different direction. Car is Silver in color and when last titled the car had 102,000 Miles on it. Was told it had an engine failure, but I have no idea to what extent. No real dings to speak of, the spoiler has bad clear coat peel and there some paint chips in the rear bumper (See pic). Overall, the body in good shape and the interior is very good shape. Car also has no battery with it. Have title in hand.

I see no reason you couldn’t just purchase a used 13B motor and go if that is your desire.

 

$1800. Car is located in Dayton, OH

 

VIN: JM1FE173840124170

Any word on the sale?

 

I would love the chance to help fix a blown Renesis or at the very least help you figure out the cause of the failure. As I said before, I am always interested in parts if you don't want some :p

I am interested if its sold yet as well....just an engine needed?

 

For the guys who know these things....whats a replacement usually cost?

 

Dealerships can charge ~$5000 for a new Renesis, That was the last quote I got. They are no longer in production so Mazda will charge you an arm and a leg for one.

 

Ebay or Craigslist with run you about $1500-$2000 from what I have seen for lightly used ones. I saw one go for $700 used on Craigslist with blown seals.

Beats me. Ive got it right here.

 

Hmm, yeah that's gonna be an issue. I'd head down to the BMV and try and get that sorted out. Unless you purchased it in 2013 and had a loan with USAA but paid it off and have a letter of lien release you likely have just a copy of the title as some lenders do not require they hold the title if they have a loan on it.

 

Better to get everything cleared up before a serious buyer comes along and you can't actually sell it before of the issues.

I have the title, signed by the owner, but was not notarized. If someone can work with that, then OK. I am continuing to see about getting the title in my name in leau of this.

 

Why not just get with owner? He is on a sub right now, wont be back for awhile, lol
