For sale is your new 2004 Mazda RX-8 Grand Touring Package.
The color is velocity red and it's loaded with power everything, leather, sunroof, and heated seats.
It has a NEW Mazda reman engine with a 12 month, 12K mile warranty from Mazda. The warranty started 04/30/13 so you there is 8 months left! The new motor has about 3000 miles on it. I am a former mechanic and installed the motor myself. I also installed a brand new Exedy HD clutch. Its the same as the OEM clutch just with a little more durability.
Common Problems With RX-8's that ARE REPAIRED on this car:
1. The Engine. RX-8's are excellent cars, but the motors are notorious for losing compression. 600 miles after I purchased this car, the engine lost compression. A new motor from Mazda is $2001 plus about $2000 in labor for the installation. According to the warranty records this is this RX-8's third motor, the first one made it to 27K and the second to 96K. If you are looking at other RX-8's that seem ok, even if they are from a dealer (mine was), be very careful. Its likely it was traded in or sold because the motor is loosing compression which can only be truly tested at a Mazda dealer. You will start to notice the motor takes a crank or so longer to start when the motor is hot. 600 miles later it begins to stall and won't start at all when the motor is warm. DON'T BUY AN RX-8 WITHOUT A WARRANTY unless you can afford another $4,000 for an engine replacement. This car has a new motor with excellent compression, and if taken care of, it should last another 50-100K miles.
Since the motor was installed it has been running pre-mix oil(2-stroke) to help lubricate the engine. First generation RX-8s only have four oil injectors instead of six on the second generation. I have been using Shell Nautilus. Other first gen motors not running pre-mix will end up failing pre-maturely. Its only a matter of time.
2. The ignition system. Most RX-8's have issues with the ignition coils going bad. This car has brand new coils and wires.
3. The emissions system. Other RX-8's have issues blowing through catalytic converters. This car has a new cat that was covered under warranty and is good to go. Dealer price on a new cat is $1200.
4. The clutch pedal. The RX-8 was designed with a poor clutch assembly. The metal will literally snap off and leave you stranded with no way to disengage the clutch. This car had the clutch pedal removed and professionally welded.
The Bad:
1. There are some hail dings on the hood. It is noticeable in the right light.
2. The body overall is not perfect. There are a few door dings, and a scrape on the rear bumper. I would give the body a 7/10.
3. The clutch does squawk a little while its engaging, this in no way effects performance, its just the surfaces mating.

Other than that the car drives like new. There is no rust because they car is originally from Washington and they use beet juice on the roads, not salt. Other RX-8's in the north may seem like they have no rust but just wait a year or two.
Sounds like RX-8's are a problem car, why would you want one?
RX-8's are amazing cars with the best handling in its class. The motor is powerful yet extremely smooth. I bought it because it was the closest thing to a roadster that would still fit a car seat in the back. Unfortunately we don't use it enough to justify keeping it as a fourth vehicle.

Mazda seeks $2.8 billion in loans to ride out pandemic
Sat, May 9 2020TOKYO — Mazda has sought loans totaling about 300 billion yen ($2.8 billion) from Japan's three megabanks and other lenders to ride out the coronavirus epidemic, a source with direct knowledge of the matter said on Saturday. The megabanks — Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group and Mizuho Financial Group — along with the Development Bank of Japan, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Holdings and others are set to agree, with some already having extended the loans, the person said, declining to be identified because the information is not public. All three megabanks declined to comment on the loan request, which was reported by the Nikkei business daily earlier. Mazda did not immediately respond to a request for comment.  Mazda, like most other automakers, has reduced or halted production at factories around the world for the past few months as governments try to limit the spread of the new coronavirus.   Mazda's car sales and balance sheet had been weak even before the virus slammed the brakes on demand, with its interest-bearing debt of 650 billion yen far exceeding its cash and cash equivalents, according to the Nikkei.  Mazda is scheduled to announce its financial results for the year ended in March on Thursday.

Race-inspired Mazda 3, CX-5, and Miata look great with white letter tires
Tue, Jan 14 2020At the 2020 Tokyo Auto Salon, a customization show that is kind of like SEMA but definitely not the same, manufacturers promote what is available and explore what's possible. Mazda brought a variety of vehicles to the show, but none more intriguing than the Mazda Motorsports Miata, Mazda3, and CX-5 concepts. The trio has race-inspired graphics, as well as a slew of visual and mechanical changes. The three vehicles have a core pack of changes, then each one has its own signature pieces to create some differentiation. The roadster, hatchback, and crossover have height-adjustable suspensions, upgraded brakes, MazdaSpeed tow hooks, circular number body decals, new wheel nuts, Alcantara steering wheels and shift knobs, special heel plates, MazdaSpeed six-point harnesses, and MazdaSpeed sport seats. The Miata and 3 have Fujitsubo stainless mufflers, while the CX-5 has a slightly different exhaust. The Roadster appropriately has the most involved individual upgrades. It has a body kit with front, side, and rear alterations, and it sits on RAYS ZE40 17x7.5J wheels wrapped in Potenza RE-71R 215 / 45R17 rubber with beautiful white lettering. It also has a Cusco roll bar, a MazdaSpeed rear spoiler, a MazdaSpeed strut bar, and a MazdaSpeed lower arm bar. Inside, the door trim, decoration panel, shift boot, center console lid, and parking brake boot are draped in Alcantara. An aluminum pedal set is adds a final touch of polish. On the Mazda 3 hatchback, the aero kit is specifically noted to be "Signature Style." Mazda also upgraded the strut bar and lower arm bar, and threw on Rays ZE40 18x7.5J wheels in Potenza RE-71R 215 / 45R18 tires, also with white lettering. Black mirror caps, a scuff plate, and a sports pedal set complete the concept. On the CX-5, Mazda made it sportier but also added some crossover-focused features, too.. It has Mazda-styled aero, an Auto Exe sports muffler Rays G25EDGE F1 20x8.5J wheels, Bridgestone ALENZA001 255 / 45R20 tires with white lettering, and a new wheel nut set. It also has a scuff plate, premium floor mats, a premium luggage mat, and sports pedals. For now, these are only concepts, with no word as to whether anything similar could hit Japanese markets, let alone U.S. shores. A Mazda engineer previously said a MazdaSpeed3 wouldn't happen, but the company is reportedly considering a 3 with a 250-horsepower 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
