You are bidding on a 2006 MazdaSpeed 6 AWD.  The car has 95k miles and it's a rare find! The MazdaSpeed 6 was only in production for 2 years (2006 & 2007).  The MazdaSpeed 6 is known as the fastest-accelarating and most-advanced sports sedan that Mazda has ever built. The 2.3L Inline 4 Turbo engine produces 274 horsepower and goes 0-60 in about 6 seconds. The way this car handles, makes for a great combination of sport & comfort. I recently purchased this car as an extra car for my wife & I to have in order to commute to and from work. My wife ended up transferring closer to home, and now we have an extra car that we no longer need. The car is very reliable and drives great. As you can see, it does have a rebuilt title meaning it passed necessary inspections in order to be eligible for registration. When I first got the car, I was told that there was water damage, however there was no sign whatsoever of this.  I have posted the original picture of how the car looked when I first got it, before inspections.

EXTERIOR CONDITION

Overall the exterior looks very nice. The color is shiny! The black hood and rear spoiler are done with Plasti Dip paint which peals right off without leaving any residue in case you don't like the look.  The wheels on the car are 18" in okay condition and the tires are Pirelli with only 5k miles on them. The tires are like new! I will also include the original MazdaSpeed wheels which are in nice shape, however need new tires. 

There are a few imperfections: The front bumper has a small tear on the bottom right in the middle. There is a small ding on the driver's side door (tiny; looks like a rock chip). There was some rust starting to form on the bottom of both of the rear doors. I cleaned this up and I sealed it with POR-15 which is supposed to stop rust. At the same time, I did the undercarriage of the car which was rust free. I decided to do this as a precaution as I was planning to drive the car during winter as well. Also, there is a scratch on the rear bumper on the driver's side.  

INTERIOR CONDITION

The interior is in great condition as you can see from the pictures. Everything works as it should; the radio is 10x better than in my Subaru STI.

Some minor issues: One of the illuminating lightbulbs on the heater switch is out. There is some glue left over on the dashboard which I could not remove. It seems like it was leftover from what I'm assuming was a GPS. There is a tear in the rear leather seats, however as you can see in the pictures, I have already purchased and am including the new bottom cushion seat that is in perfect condition. 

MECHANICAL CONDITION

The car runs smoothly; the engine runs strong. The turbo spools up nicely; it doesn't burn oil. The turbo was changed under warranty when the car was under 30k miles.  It's all stock except for the cold air intake. The transmission shifts nicely in all gears. 

Recent service done: I replaced the engine oil, transmission oil, transfer case oil, & differential oil. All fluids used were synthetic. I also replaced the rear shocks. 

One item that needs attention is when I was replacing the shocks, I noticed that the rear sway bar end links need to be replaced soon. When you go over sharp bumps, they started to rattle after the shocks were replaced since the car is stiffer now. This is a quick $50 fix and probably half an hour of work. I might even do this prior to the end of this listing. 

PAYMENT & SHIPPING

The vehicle is being sold in AS-IS condition with no warranty. The BUYER is responsible for pick up or shipping of the vehicle. Payment is due upon pick up. Cash, Wire Transfer, or Certified Cashier's Check only! Please note that funds will need to be verified prior to the release of the vehicle.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata in motion for the first time

Fri, 05 Sep 2014

By now, you've already poured over the details (however few there may be) and images of the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata. For us enthusiasts, it's arguably the most important new car debut of the year, and for Mazda, it marks the 25th anniversary of its iconic roadster - something that's being celebrated all weekend long out in Monterey, CA.
Our resident Miata owner, Chris Paukert, is out in sunny California and just passed along this video, showing all four generations of the MX-5 in motion (slowly), on the road at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. This is the first time the 2016 MX-5 has been shown driving under its own power, and it will join a wealth of other roadsters as Mazda attempts to break the world record for most Miatas in one place at one time.
Have a look at the emailed-from-an-iPhone-quality video above, and then take a moment to read Paukert's own notes from the ND Miata's live showing earlier this week, here.

Will Mazda sell diesel hybrids in Japan in 2016?

Thu, Aug 14 2014

Could the "Zoom Zoom" automaker start making hybrids that go "glug glug glug"? Mazda, known for its fuel-efficient Skyactiv engine line, will be the first Japanese automaker to make a diesel-hybrid vehicle for Japan and Europe. According to the Yomiuri Shimbun, Mazda may start making its oil-burning hybrids as soon as 2016, and the powertrain may reach fuel efficiency levels of as much as 95 miles per gallon (one the more lenient Japanese driving cycle). That'd make such a vehicle line about 30 percent more fuel-efficient than standard diesels and about eight percent more fuel efficient that the Toyota Prius C compact hybrid (known as the Aqua in Japan). Mazda has been dismissive of hybrid and electric powertrains, instead focusing on Skyactiv technology to maximize fuel efficiency from conventional gas-powered engines. Diesel powertrains account for about half of the light-duty vehicles sold in Europe each year, while Japan's diesel sales of 76,000 vehicles last year were about three times as many as were sold there in 2012. In January, Mazda said that it would delay the introduction of its Skyactiv-D diesel engine from what was to be a spring 2014 debut. The reason was to fine-tune the engine's performance/fuel economy balance. Mazda representatives didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from AutoblogGreen about the diesel hybrids.

Feds investigating 2010-11 Mazda CX-9 CUVs over braking issues

Mon, 17 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating 62,000, 2010-2011 Mazda CX-9 models over brake problems. The government safety watchdog says it has received seven complaints of an observed loss of power braking power to stop the crossover, according to the The Detroit News.
The NHTSA complaints say that the problem causes a hard pedal, increased braking effort and reduced braking effectiveness. Some complaints allege that they hear a hissing noise during braking similar to the sound of air leaving the tires. No injuries or crashes have been reported.
"As always, we are fully cooperating with NHTSA on their investigation. We cannot comment further at this time," said Mazda spokesperson Tamara Mlynarczyk to The Detroit News.
