Hello and thank you for looking at my auction. My name is Joe and I sell vehicles differently than most dealers. Buying your next car or truck through one of my NO RESERVE auctions is the best way to take the games out of your next automotive purchase. I personally road test each vehicle before it is offered for sale so I can give you my first hand opinion of how it runs and drives. Please keep in mind that I am not a mechanic. Each vehicle is represented accurately and honestly to the best of my knowledge and ability. Please take the time to read this entire description as well as our Terms & Conditions carefully BEFORE asking questions or placing a bid as most answers can be found in at least one of those places. An administrative fee of $149 will be added to the final bid of each auction.
Up for a NO RESERVE auction is a 2005 Mazda RX-8 with the desirable 6 speed manual transmission. I would rate the exterior of this RX-8 to be in AVERAGE CONDITION for its age and mileage. As you can see, this is a good looking car. It is finished in a medium gray with gray and black two tone interior. As with any older vehicle, please expect to find a few flaws and imperfections commensurate with age and mileage. On this specific Mazda, there really isn't anything noteworthy to report. The finish has a deep shine and looks as smooth as glass all around. The body lines are nice and straight. The hood, doors and trunk all open and close easily. All of the glass and lenses are intact. The factory alloy wheels look good and are wrapped in nice rubber. Tread is on the thin side of average all around. You could probably get another year out of them depending on your personal taste and individual state's inspection laws. Please take your time and check out each of the photos carefully to see how clean this RX-8 looks.
I would rate the interior of this RX-8 to be in ABOVE AVERAGE CONDITION for its age and mileage. The door cards are clean and tight. The carpets are clean and full looking throughout the interior. A set of factory floor mats are included. The seats are clean, supportive and show virtually no wear. The power windows, locks, mirrors and sunroof all work properly. The audio system is the original AM/FM-CD with BOSE speakers, which sounds good. There are steering wheel audio controls, too. The climate control system also appears to be working properly. The air conditioner blows ICE COLD AIR. The trunk is clean and pretty accommodating for a sports car. Again, please take your time and check out each of the photos carefully to see how clean this RX-8 looks.
Mechanically, this Mazda appears to be in good running and driving condition. The 1.3L rotary engine starts right up and runs smoothly. I didn't notice any leaks and the engine does not smoke. Her road manners are excellent. The suspension feels tight and well sorted. Cornering is aggressive and solid. Steering and braking feel good, too. The engine keeps perfect temperature and excellent oil pressure at all times. There have been no idiot lights on during my road test. These cars are an absolute blast to drive. The high revving rotary engine delivers power smoothly and feels strong. The clutch engages smoothly and doesn't slip or chatter. Gear changes through the six speed manual transmission are clean and precise, as they should be. Out on the highway, she drives nice and straight with absolutely no complaints. This RX-8 has had just one owner since new and only has 101k miles on the clock. She looks to have a brand new NY State inspection, too. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.
