2nd owner for this accident free RX-8. It has been used as a daily driver and never abused (e.g. the engine is always warmed up before redlining and regular maintenance performed). Always parked in a covered garage. All safety recalls have been performed. All broken/damaged components replaced/fixed. Everything works on this car.
The asking price reflects the recent rebuild cost ($6,200 in Nov 2017) and the reliability of the car.
Serious inquiries only. No joyrides. If you've never owned a rotary before, do the research to make sure it's the right car for you.
I'm planning on getting a small used 4-door truck (Tacoma size), 2010+, and would consider reasonable trade offers (e.g. car + money for truck).
Thanks for looking.
