bump it up please

Jeff ej255 · 08-22-2016, 07:17 AM

Bumpitty bump bump

Jeff ej255 · 10-04-2016, 01:15 PM

Bump. New Price, $6,000. Would like to move quick before winter/baby comes.

RalliartRsX · 10-04-2016, 02:03 PM

Damn! $3,000 drop in a little under 2 months?!?!

Apart from a baby being on the way, are there any other issues?? Compression on all the rotors??

Jeff ej255 · 10-04-2016, 02:37 PM

Compression is great. Did coils and plugs 30k miles ago. Coolant flush done at same time. Use premix oils to keep the apex seals lubed and good to go. Redline it a few times a day to clean out the carbon. Car is great!

I gradually dropped the price on craigslist with only your usual dumb trade offers.

Honestly only selling due to the baby on the way and winter coming on strong. My beater is a POS and was hoping to get something AWD before the snow starts flying.

nice car! I miss my rx8! Fit my baby well, but 4wd will be nicer!

Jeff ej255 · 10-12-2016, 02:19 PM

Bumpity bump. Would like it gone before snow comes down.

simmode1 · 10-12-2016, 03:02 PM

Man, I'd be so tempted if I weren't buying a house in a few months.

But coming from a guy who had to drive my daughter around in a s14 for the first 2 years of her life... And then driving her around in an Element, which also has suicide doors like the RX8, it probably won't be too bad if you can't get it sold.

But GLWS and Congrats on the baby!

S14kouki805 · 10-12-2016, 03:25 PM

Damn 6 G's? That's hella cheap, you can barely get a beater S14 for that price.

GLWS man

Jeff ej255 · 10-13-2016, 11:56 AM

Thanks guys. Yeah, I've had my nephews in it before and it's not bad with a child/booster seat but the rear-facing infant seat is very tight. I also would like to go back to just having 1 all season car. My winter beater is a 2-door 4-door that you need a tetanus shot to ride in.

Planned on moving this, getting a truck. Then a 240 missile in a year or two. I'll give $100 to anyone who helps sell it.

Car really is great. Everyone is afraid of the Rotary, including NADA

simmode1 · 10-13-2016, 05:24 PM

^^^I feel you man. I'm cutting my S14 loose for the same reason. Truck+sportscar/bike really is ideal, IMO. I've always been curious about rotaries and loved every one that I test drove. RX8's are priced well enough now that it's worth the risk to try one out long term. Somebody is gonna get a nice deal on this.

Jeff ej255 · 10-18-2016, 12:56 PM

Bippity bump. Still available.
