STX RX8 for sale

Post by Steve O'Blenes »

It has come time for me to sell My RX8. I have aquired a Prepared car and will need the funds from the sale to be able to finish the build and start campaigning it as soon as possible. This was the fastest RX8 at Nationals this year and was also the Fastest RX8 2 years prior when it last competed there. It has plenty of potential for further development and is a blast to drive. Grip level on this car is amazing. Just adding up all of the extras added onto the car was staggering at over $26K in parts and extras. See list below. Current stock vehicle prices range from $10k-$14K and this car has a new motor that was installed under warranty just 12k miles ago. Current mileage on chassis is 96K. I drive this car daily and even drove to Nationals in it. It is a fantastic an refined car. Here is the list below of all the parts on and aquired for the car. Parts alone at half would be over $13k. I am asking $19500.obo for complete setup.

First number is current pricing online, second number listed was retail for item.

Hi Adam,

I still have the car. I haven't campaigned it this year as I hurt the motor at the end of last year and have been waiting to build myself a proper engine to campaign the car again. The engine in the car was a factory reman and the quality on those builds is not the highest. I can build an engine that will produce another 20hp over the last and be completely stock and legal and more reliable as well yet the car was nationally competitive even with less power so it should be a powerhouse in the class once back up and running. If I sell the car I can do it one of a few ways, either sell it as is at a reduced price, build an engine and sell it for what I had posted originally, or sell the parts only to someone that already has a car and then convert my car to stock and sell that way.
