2005 Mazda RX-8

This RX-8 is a smart and original example of Mazda’s dynamic and well-equipped four-door rear-wheel drive sports coupe. Its engine is the 177kW / 241hp 1.3-litre 13B Renesis two-rotor, six-port Wankel rotary motor with a six-speed manual transmission. Offered in good mechanical condition, this RX-8 is ready to enjoy on the road. This six-speed manual car features the more powerful Mazda 13B Renesis motor as well as a full leather interior in excellent condition. The car remains original and unmodified, which is an increasingly rare find for an RX-8. It is sold with the full set of books and literature, as well as some previous registration and service stickers. The bodywork presents well, but minor flaws are visible, including a small ding on the passenger-side bumper above the rear splitter. Its Silver paintwork is in good condition. As can be seen in the images, the odd stone chip or scratch can be found around the car, consistent with its mileage. The interior is original and has been well preserved. The seats have a slightly polished appearance from use, but no heavy discolouration or damage. There are some minor marks on some of the trim plastics, as well as a noticeable crack in the passenger side of the dashboard. Some wear is also evident in high-touch areas like the gear knob, steering wheel, and handbrake. There are no known mechanical or electrical problems, nor other faults or warnings. The RX-8 passed a Western Australian Department of Transport inspection in the past month and will be registered for the new owner. The roadworthiness inspection noted that a new passenger side rear tyre would be required within 5,000 km. Rotomotion Engineering in Perth serviced the car in May 2021 at 145,245 km. During the current period of ownership, only general upkeep has been required. Replacing the legendary RX-7 in 2003, the Mazda RX-8 was a unique machine, and it still turns heads today. It offers impressive performance and handling along with a 1.3 rotary engine that loves to rev, in a four-door four-seat coupe package. This example is reported to be in good mechanical condition having been well maintained, so should be ready for many more miles.
