Is that price obo?

[Rsxstacy]

Bump for a sweet car! I traded in my RSX-S after my insurance rates were killing me and ended up buying a titanium speed. Lots of potential in these cars and great handling! Good luck with the sale!

[euro_racer]

bump for a fellow titanium MSP :bigpimp:

do you have any extra parts you can sell me? is fo please pm me

[Cypresskilla]

Looking at any trades?? Why are you selling

[Eleanor]

Any interior pics?

[adam c]

its turbo charged and only has 151 whp?

whats with that?

i do have to admit i havent seen this car in calgary but its pretty nice

[Warbaby]

Yes, price is obo, I changed it in the original post.
I will post up some interior pics this evening.
151 whp is what Sport Compact Car dynoed a stock car at which works out to only 11.1% drivetrain loss which is really impressive as it tends to be 15-20% for a lot of cars. So it might actually put out a little bit more than 170 hp at the crank.
Regardless, the engine is very torquey with virtually no lag from the T25R (ball-bearing) turbo.
I'm regretfully selling as I recently changed jobs to a position that provides me with a work vehicle so since I don't need three vehicles in the household, the Mazdaspeed is the least practical and has to go! :cry:

In that case pm'd.

[Warbaby]

Interior photos added, sorry for the dirty winter floormats. The car is parked indoors and is not being daily driven right now.

[Eleanor]

What kind of warranty does this thing still have?

[Warbaby]

Unfortunately, the bumper to bumper warranty ran out on December 7 but I had everything checked over during my last oil change and no problems were noted.
Still in effect: Powertrain warranty components for a period of 5 years or 100,000 km whichever comes first, body sheet metal perforation for 5 years and unlimited mileage and specific emission control components for up to 8 years or 128,000 km.

[Warbaby]

Bump! Car is still available. Summer tires go back on next week for the spring. Only driven 500 km the entire winter, rest of the time kept in storage.

SOLD!!! :clap:
