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!

Updated Mazda3 hits US roads this year

Thu, Jul 14 2016

Mazda released an updated variant of its Mazda3 that will go on sale in Japan today and later this year in the US. The compact vehicle benefits from Mazda's G-Vectoring Control (GVC) that provides integrated control of the vehicle's engine, chassis, transmission, and body. The result, from our own experience, results in a car that's more enjoyable to drive. GVC is the first feature in a series of new Skyactiv Vehicle Dynamics technologies. Mazda is developing them to provide drivers with greater feel and a more enjoyable experience. "Mazda is striving to become an irreplaceable presence in the lives of our customers, to create a special bond with them and to be a 'one-and-only' brand they will chose again and again," Mazda's CEO Masamichi Kogai said in a statement. Other than the new feature, the 2017 Mazda3 goes mostly unchanged with the front end gaining slimmer turn signals and fog lights. The current-gen lineup, claims Mazda, is centered around Jinba Ittai – a term the automaker uses to signify oneness between car and driver – that started with the launch of the Mazda CX-5. The updated Mazda3 will go on sale later this year in the US, but the automaker did not announce an official date.

Mazda hits Vegas with a pair of Sixes

Tue, 05 Nov 2013

Despite the fact that the annual SEMA show is more of an exercise in what "could be" than what "will be," it gives automakers the chance to stretch the legs of some of its most important models. Take the 2014 Mazda6, for example - it's hardly new, having gone on sale early this year - but this year's SEMA expo marks the first time Mazda has been able to show off the customization possibilities for its sleek midsize sedan. To that end, the Japanese automaker has arrived in Las Vegas with two very different takes on its sexy Six.
First up is the Mazda6 Club Sport you see above, wearing a "motorsports-inspired" gray, black and red accent-color scheme that, as Mazda says, is "represented in not-so-subtle angular lines reminiscent of a car speeding past your line of sight." The whole car is done up in a base color of Composite Grey, and uses a Brilliant Black roof to match the similarly colored front, side and rear diffusers, as well as the rear spoiler. Mazda has fitted the Club Sport with Rays 57 Motorsport G07FXX 20-inch wheels, wrapped in Yokohama 245/35R20 tires. Powering the CS is Mazda's 2.2-liter Skyactiv-D diesel four-cylinder engine (that we'll get in the standard Six early next year), and other changes include an H&R spring kit, larger Brembo brakes and a Racing Beat exhaust.
And then there's the Ceramic 6 Concept, pictured right. The name comes from the car's Ceramic White paint, though we don't really get the Taupe Silver accent stripes. Mazda says they're meant to mimic "the linear frequency patterns found on the likes of couture dresses and flowing fabrics," but it just looks a bit overwrought to us. The Mazda6 already has so many clean lines, why add more?

2015 Mazda3 shows its shape

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

Mazda's new Kodo design language is set to quickly spread across the automaker's entire lineup, judging by these spy shots of the next-generation Mazda3 that show some very familiar styling cues. No matter, we're impressed with what Mazda has done on the CX-5 crossover and Mazda6 sedan in terms of design, and we're happy to see the C-segment hatchback ditching the smile-for-a-mile Nagare design.
It's unclear what sort of architecture is found below the new Mazda3 - our spy shooters suggest that the car could simply be using a heavily massaged version of the Ford C1 platform found under the current car. Our best guess is that it's actually a reworked version of the platform used in the CX-5 crossover, however, chocked full of weight-saving Skyactiv technologies. After all, the CX-5 plays in the compact CUV segment, and those vehicles are commonly based on C-segment platforms. And besides, there's probably some economic savings at work with the new chassis - both in terms of fuel efficiency and economies of scale. Still, no one is totally certain what lies under all that black-and-white paper at the moment.
The new Mazda3 is targeted to arrive for the 2015 model year, meaning we could see a final production car debut as early as this year. We expect the hatch you see here to debut along with a traditional four-door sedan, and unless we hear otherwise, we don't doubt that a Mazdaspeed version will be far behind.
