Selling on behalf of a mate with no funds to repair :reallymad
Met grey with full black leather.
Car is good condition engine aside.
2004 \'54\' Mazda RX8.
65k miles with FSH.
192 BHP 5 speed model.
Starts / runs but has shaft bearing failiure (sounds like a knocking bottom end even though it doesn\'t have a bottom end)
It\'s HPI clear, has all hand books, keys etc.
£1250.
Dave.
Is it in wales mate?
Yes matey, it\'s at our mates garage who initially thought it may have just been a water pump banging but upon further investigation / advice was advised it\'s a shaft bearing.
You are welcome to call me on 07810 098199 :Thumbs-up

Postcode may be easier, CF81 8JT.

Now located at my unit at NP12 3SP, car is MOT\'d until May and i can tax at cost if you required the AA or RAC to tow it back :evillaugh
Pics..............
Wow its amazing how quickly the RX8 prices drop once the engine goes!
That\'s potentially a nice, cheap base for a rebuild project. Or, sadly, if it is broken for spares it ought to be worth more than £1250, surely...
It\'ll be worth more in parts but i\'ve only just finished breaking my RX7 and then i\'ve got a Nissan Stagea to do..........i wonder how hard it\'d be to drop the Stagea engine into the RX8 :Party
Dave.
ooh, any performance parts on the stagea?
i know of a 2009 rx8 low milage sold for £3k ish (perfect working order)
i guess high tax band has killed rx8 :(
good price for this one though!

Wow £3k ish is insane for a 2009 RX8, i can\'t understand why the \'powers that be\' think it\'s a good idea to tax newer cars so high?
I haven\'t picked up the Stagea yet but i\'ll let you know if there are any nice bits on it :driving
The Mazda 3 MPS is the same I want 1 but i refuse to pay the tax. When these high tax cars are 10 years old plus there gonna be free to collector!
They won\'t hold their value as they aren\'t a cult car like the FC or FD or a sought after classic like the FB or Cosmo
They\'re just another high depreciation modern car but their thirst and reliability makes it matters even worse
Is it still driveable or can u take it to region Herefordshire?
It is driveable but as the engine is technically still good i\'d say it\'s better to transport it rather than drive it. I can get it delivered to the Hereford for around £75 for you.
im still interested mate just gotta shift another car to make room.
I know what you mean, it\'s taking up room in my unit :2Confused
Dave.
Quick update, i\'ll advertise this in the local rags soon if no one on here wants it. I could really do with the room now :3Confused
