    FS/FT: 2008 Mazda MX-5 Mazdaspeed, looking for e30!

    I'm looking to get into BMWs and an e30 or e28 are pretty much what I've boiled it down to. If you have either one up for sale or trade, let me know! I'm looking for something with an inline 6, manual trans, black ext., and an interior in good condition. Thanks!

    ****

    I have this beautiful 2008 Mazda MX-5 for sale. I purchased this car from the original owner in April of 2011 with 4400 miles and have loved everyday of owning it. It was a weekend car for the original owner and served daily for me for about three months when I lived in Hawaii and then another two months when I moved here to Colorado. This car has NEVER seen snow. I'm only selling because there's a ton of other great cars to own and I want to pass this car onto the next person who will love it. With the suspension modifications, it handles absolutely amazingly. It's also been dead reliable and consistently gets at least 30 mpg and as high as 33 mpg. It blue books for $18,600 in "Very Good" condition and has about $12,000 worth of parts into it. Of course, you never get your money back for parts but I believe $24,500 or best offer is a fair asking price. I'd be happy to ship at buyer's expense, pick up a buyer from the airport, or even deliver it with a deposit. Feel free to ask any questions you may have!


    The Good:

    Only 21k miles!
    Mazda Workshop Manual
    Leather interior
    6 speed manual
    Limited Slip Differential
    Full OEM Mazdaspeed body kit
    18" Mazdaspeed wheels (Rays Engineering, forged only 17 lbs. each)
    AWR Racing Roll Bar
    OEM HIDs
    JIC FLT-TAR coilovers
    Mazdaspeed front strut bar
    RX-8 Mazdaspeed front sway bar
    AutoExe Member Brace
    Adjustable End-links (not installed)
    Hella Supertone horns
    Advanced keyless entry, 2 keys (the kind where you keep the fob in the pocket and never use a key)
    Stock drivetrain, no reliability issues
    Moddiction Anvil Stainless Steel Shift Knob

    Custom audio system:
    4-way active set up
    Kenwood DDX814 head unit w/ 500 GB HDD
    Dynaudio MD102 Tweeters
    Dynaudio MD142 dome midrange
    Dynaudio MW172 woofers
    (2) JL Audio 8W3v3
    (2) Zapco DC1000.4 amplifiers
    Custom subwoofer enclosure and amp rack

    The bad:

    -There is a very small depression by the gas cap. It's hard to capture in photos. The paint is still perfect there but if you look at it in just the right light, you can see the reflection bend a bit. Hardly noticable.
    -There is a very small chip in the windshield on the high passenger side. You can barely see it from the driver's seat. I got it on the drive out to Colorado from California two years ago and it hasn't gotten any bigger at all.
    -There are a few very very small rock chips on the front bumper.
    -The audio installer decided to cut holes in the door panels for the tweeters without my consent. They have hole plugs with texture matched paint. I never notice them anymore.
    -There is a small bend in the lip of the front passenger side wheel. Still holds air perfectly.

    Someone will undoubtedly ask about the speakers on the kickpanels. I decided that was the best location for sound quality and imaging. It does make the deadpedal hard to use but it's never bothered me at all. Also, I have custom cut plexiglass panels zip-tied into the roll bar. It cuts down on wind noise a LOT but of course you can just cut the zip ties and remove them if you like.

      Kind of a steep price for a used MX-5.

        I am shooting a bit on the high side but I'm just starting to sell and I want to see what I can get for it. Also as I mentioned, it books for $18.5k stock and it has a ton of parts on it. Another thing that surprises most people, myself included, is that a brand new MX-5 Grand Touring runs about 30k MSRP.
