Notes | 2005 Mazda RX-8 pre-purchase inspection found lots of deferred maintenance. Rear tires are bald, motor mounts collapsed, front brakes need service, multiple dents on the exterior of the vehicle, light scratches the front fenders, paint is fading. The interior has moderate where considering the age and the miles of the vehicle. The drivers front seat bolster is worn out collapsed, carpet on the driver side spot has been worn through. That shift knob emblem on top is loose. The headliner has some small cuts and stains in it, the driver kick panels and panel behind driver are loose and there are small nicks in the center console paint. Radio and controls on steering wheel checked okay. A/C blows hot and cold, but the a/c blower motor makes a constant clicking sound. Alarm system is not working correctly, will not arm and alarm starts sounding when locking car.
The test drive found that the engine hesitates to start, takes multiple rotations and then comes to life. Driving the car the clutch engagement is very stiff and the clutch pedal free plays minimal. There is also a rotational bearing noise the changes in pitch when the clutch pushed in, possible bearing issue. During test drive found that there is a another bearing type noise gets louder as the vehicle speed increases possible wheel bearing it also sounds like there's a possible internal transmission bearing sound. The steering wheel is off center and the vehicle does not track straight the alignment out of spec. Also groaning noise from front right of car, sound like wheel bearing is failing. At the time of inspection the engine and transmission were free of leaks. Noted that the front shocks are leaking and the bushings on the front of the vehicle or cracked look original to vehicle.
