Selling my baby. 2nd owner, bought the car with 10k miles on it. Car has freeway miles and has been cared for by me perfectly, all oil changes, etc...I have looked at other Mazda3 on Ebay and in person, and this is by far the nicest 05/06/07 you will find.
Body-in excellent condition, paint is smooth, wax is fresh, paint is still very glossy. Car always received frequent clay bar treatment and Meguiars's wax products. Has a few TINY dings as any car with 50k miles, but again better than any other I have seen. Front bumper has many stone chips due to the highway driving I always did. Touch up was performed, and under the front bumper lip it was real bad and I had to touch that up too. Bottom line is the body is in excellent shape minus the few small flaws.
Interior-excellent condition. Does have the typical interior panel scuffs a used car will have, but has no glowing defects. All panels have always been wiped down with Meguiar's interior care products which really does a great job of keeping the panels fresh and no no fading AT ALL (the product has UV protection, make a difference!) This is original factory leather, NOT one of the cheap after market kits. It looks more like 25k miles on the car based on the seats. Thanks again to Meguiar's Leather Care products!
Drive Train-engine and trans is perfect, please bring your mechanic to verify and car is availble to drive. Only issue is the air pressure warning light for the tires may turn on after you have driven about 20 miles. You would not know this if you test drove the car, but I am a fair person being honest with you. The cause of this is a faulty sensor in ONE of the wheels which is common in the Mazda3 and Mazda6, and the only way to take care of it is to start swapping out sensors in each tire until the problem is solved. It has never bothered me enough to start spending the money to do that. Important note-the transmission DOES have the updated shift software. Most people do not know Mazda issued a TSB( Technical Service Bulletin) about this issue and if you do not update the software (yes, they charge you for this) the transmission will shift hard from 1st into 2nd especially, and it is very bad for the transmission and tranmission mounts.
Audio/Entertainment System-The system would retail installed for a touch over $9k for everything. Please do not try and tear down this pricing and pick it apart, it is real numbers. I am involved in the mobile electronics industry, it is all real pricing. I know many shops that would charge even more for this system.
1. The woofer enclsoure-The enclosure was built in place of the spare tire well. The spare tire well was cut out of the car and reinforced with aluminum angle iron. The enclosure was then installed partially under the car and bolted to the angle iron braces. The entire seam around the enclosure was then sealed with 3M windshield installation adhesive-this stuff is bullet proof! The enclsoure was then coated in multiple coats of marine grade fiberglass resin, both inside and out of the enclsore. Then the enclosure had aluminum sheeting screwed to it to act as a rock/debris deflector, and then the entire thing was coated in a very thick coat of industrial undercoating. WAY over engineered, WAY overkill, but has been WAY perfect since I installed it 2 days after I bought the car. The rop of the enclosure was then smoothed and painted with factory Velocity Red paint by a body shop. Over the woofer is a VERY heavy duty metal grill that will protect the woofer and is strong enough to support anything I have but back there like 5 gallon buckets of paint, etc...Over the amp is a piece of 1/2" plexiglass, again WAY overkill but I could not risk damaging an amp by cutting a corner. After the grill goes on over the woofer, the factory floor mat goes back in. The entire system is mounting in the floor at the exact hight as the factory floor, so no room has been given up.
2. The woofer-JL Audio 13w6-Of all the woofers I have had, this is by far the best compromise I have ever had. The most output with the cleanest, tightest bass, only drawback is the the woofer retailed for $600-$700 for just one, and to get the woofer to do what it can do, it needs a large, high quality amplifier. The trim ring on the woofer was also painted to match the body.
3. The amp-Phoenix Gold just released the new Elite series of amps, this one is one of the first in the country. I had a pair of JL Audio amps in the car which were great, the Elite blew them away-but it should, is is a single amp that sells for $1600-$1800. I have never had an amp that has been as solid as this amp.
4. The front speakers- I have had no less than 6 sets of speakers in the front doors of this car, some as high dollar as $900 a set, the Phoenix Gold Elite6.5 that are in there now are by far the best sounding speaker I have had in there. The tweeter is VERY clean, and the woofer is the real deal-cast fram, engineered cone, etc...
5. Rear speakers-rear speakers are rarely a big deal, so I have had the same JL Audio VR650SCi in there since I bought the car. They are reliable and work well for rears.
6. Navigation-Is the new Kenwood DNX690HD--has bluetooth, HD Radio, Ipod hook up, etc...all of the bells and whistles. Not much to say other than it is one of the best navi on the market.
7. Sound deadening-the entire car is coated in a layer of deadening material from Stinger (Roadkill). I will NOT own a highend subwoofer with out layering the car in this product. Do you want to hear the woofer or the car rattle? When you listen to the system and we crank on it, sure there are a few rattles, but not many at all. This product is a game changer.
8. Cap-Stinger cap to help the amp get more current and voltage when playing the system louder. Best cap on the market, period.
9. Wire and connects-Main power wire is JL Audio 1/0 ultra heavy duty wire. It is ran under the car and encased in reinforced conduit. The power wire enters the car via a dual gasket compression grommet. The RCA cables front to reat are new Stinger ultra high end cables. Do I really believe an ultra high end cable makes a difference, I'm not really sure to be honest, but then I put the cables in, if I have $9k of gear in the car, and the cable can make it sound 1% better, I would be stupid not to spend the money. So there is no short cuts on this system
10. Power upply-in the glove box is a Stinger 150watt power inverter (has a wall plug, plug in your laptop when driving, etc...)
11. Remote start system-is the Code Alarm Pro 5550 SST. It had awesome range to begin with, but still, when in the mall, in a parking garage, a restaraunt, and a million other places, a little transmitter can only get you so far. Now the system is networked to my smart phone. I can start the car, unlock the doors, etc..from anywhere in the word. SO many times I go out to my car to grab something and my keys are in the house, no biggies, push a button on my phone, the doors unlocked. And the company that builds the smart phone interface also offer monitoring for a small charge-records speeds, distance traveled, where the car is by seeing on a computer since it tracks it via vehicle tracking software. Not a big deal but I love this, the transmitter has a micro USA charging port on the side, so if you are driving and notice your battery is low, plug your phone charger into the transmitter and charge it while you drive.
I also have all of the factory stereo gear and every box/manual for all of the grear except the rca cables.
About my price on the car, there is how I came up with it. It is the nicest Mazda3 on Ebay. The nice ones are selling for $8-$10k. So I a fair price is $9k. The electronics would be $9k, cut it in half to be fair so it is $4500, then cut it in half again to make it a bargain, so I figure $2250 for the electroncis, so the price is $11,250. I do not want to list my car over $11k, so I $10,950 looks better.
Payment terms-cash only. No bank checks, personal checks, etc...Must be cash like hundred dollar bills. I have never sold a car on Ebay, but my boss has done so about 10 times and he gave me advice. Tell about the good and the bad on the car (I did both). ONLY take cash, and be detailed. So, cash only.
Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy my car as much as I have. It has been a great car, with an amazing package and I will be sad to see it go. I bought a new car and it is time to start building again--with much of the same gear going into the new one!

Oh Mazda... we had many hopes for the promised diesel four-cylinder in the Mazda6, but those have remained largely unfulfilled, as the oil-burning powerplant has failed to appear on dealer lots following its 2012 LA Auto Show announcement. Despite engineering issues that forced the company to announce that the program was delayed back in September 2013, Mazda remains adamant that the 2.2-liter Skyactiv-D is still coming to our shores. "We're still very much committed to diesel," Mazda's North American CEO, Jim O'Sullivan, told Automotive News. "We are still working on getting the performance aspects up to where we want them, and we do have a plan – an engineering road map – to get it done." According to AN, Mazda's initial plan with the 2.2-liter diesel was to build an engine so clean it could get by without an aftertreatment system, which generally accounts for the price premium of diesel engines versus their gas counterparts. The new system has come with performance issues, though, necessitating the delays. "If [we were] a commodity brand and didn't care about that, it would be on the market right now," O'Sullivan told AN. "But I know the people were expecting something from us, expecting certain drive characteristics and performance, and I didn't want to disappoint them." While O'Sullivan's defense of the diesel Mazda is admirable, the exec stops short of giving us an indication of when the new engine will finally arrive.

Data from Insurify shows which models have the most accident-prone drivers behind the wheel. It also shows the proportion of the drivers of said vehicles with an at-fault accident on record in the past seven years, based on Insurify’s analysis of over 4 million car insurance applications. For reference, the national average is 10.78%, and each of these vehiclesÂ’ drivers represent a statistically significant increase over that. Now, it would be easy to infer that these cars are dangerous, but such is not necessarily the case. Remember, drivers cause accidents, not cars. These just happen to be the cars that accident-prone drivers drive. YouÂ’ll notice that many are mainstream, affordable cars, often with decent crash ratings. Also keep in mind that vehicle accidents are up since the beginning of the pandemic, so no matter what you drive, please drive safely. 10. Hyundai Ioniq This affordable, electrified vehicle platform sneaks into this list with 14.45% of drivers with a recent at-fault accident on record. 9. Lexus CT Another hybrid, this Prius-powered Lexus beats the national average at 14.57%. 8. Toyota Prius V Yet another hybrid, the larger but discontinued member of the Prius family sees 14.72% of its drivers with recent accidents. 7. Mazda CX-3 The Mazda CX-3, which is discontinued for the 2022 model year, sees the accident-prone making up 14.9% of its drivers. 6. Infiniti Q60 The second and final luxury car on this list has more accident-prone drivers than average, at 14.93%. 5. Subaru Impreza The first of two Subarus on this list has 15.1% of drivers with recent accidents on record. 4. Hyundai Genesis Coupe The Genesis Coupe was only on the market for a brief span before it was discontinued and Genesis spun off into its own luxury brand. That said, it too beats the national average for accidents, at 15.29%. 3. Subaru WRX Despite its standard all-wheel drive, the boy-racer WRX has 15.44% of drivers with a prior accident in the last seven years. 2. Kia Stinger We love the Kia Stinger, and had great luck with our long-termer that graced the Autoblog garage for a year. That said, 15.75% of its drivers represent have a recent accident on record. 1. Scion FR-S This fun two-seater attracts the most accident prone drivers, with 15.87% with recent at-fault crashes.

Mazda has used its Kodo design language to make some of the most attractive, affordable cars in the world right now, with the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 (pictured above), but it still lacks a crossover in the smaller class, which are becoming popular on the world market. It seems like a natural fit then, that the Japanese company would shrink its CUV design even smaller for a CX-3 to fill the gap. However, a rumor suggests that the compact might not make it to these shores.
The Mazda2-based crossover is due later this summer in Japan and is launching in Europe and emerging markets later, according to Automotive News citing a report in Japan's Nikkei newspaper. The little CUV would cost between 1.5 million yen and 2.0 million yen ($14,700-$19,500) in Japan and be available with diesel and petrol engine options. However, the report made no mention of selling it in North America. There is a glimmer of a chance for the CX-3 here. Mazda is upgrading its Mexican factory to 230,000 annual unit capacity by 2016, which gives it the room to add the new vehicle.
While the midsize CUVs are hugely popular in the US, compacts like the Buick Encore are still a small portion of things. If Mazda could time the CX-3's launch right here, it could take advantage of the lack of competition.
