I bought this car from a young couple who needed money. I've driven it about 25 miles Everything seems to work ok. It certainly is very fast and smooth. Drives and handles great. The tires are brand new Michellins with less than 1000 miles on them. Fabulous sound system. Lots of power options that all appear to work. A/C blows cold.

I've included a shot of the key on / engine off instrument panel so that all the warning lights can be seen to be functioning ok.

The worst thing about the car is that the former owners were in a hailstorm as they were moving from Illinois to NC. The car is covered with dents of all sizes. I tried to show them as best as possible. There is also a crease in the drivers side rear fender. The headlight covers are hazy. The headliner is coming loose in front of the rear window. The car could certainly use a good cleaning. I have the front floormats but they are dirty and stained.

I have a clear NC title in my name. It is a clear, regular NC title, and NOT a salvage or anything like that.

PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING

THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD AS-IS, WHERE-IS, WITH NO WARRANTY OF ANY SORT. Inspections by potential buyers or their representative are encouraged and welcomed. It is the buyer's responsibility to satisfy himself as to the condition of the vehicle before bidding or making an offer to purchase. The only exception on a warranty issue is if the buyer arrives to pick up the vehicle and discovers a major mis-description, then I will refund the deposit, no questions asked. This does NOT include cosmetic issues or anything already disclosed in the description.

I'm not going to jeopardize my 3000+ feedback just to sell a car.

Please ask all questions BEFORE making an offer. Please have your transportation and financial arrangements in place BEFORE making an offer. I hate to have to say this, but it seems that someone always misunderstands; a sale on eBay is just that. It is not an opportunity to come and kick the tires or negotiate. I try to clearly state and abide by my terms and eBay's rules. I expect everyone else to do likewise. If a potential buyer has less than 25 positive feedback, then I will generally ignore their offer or cancel their bid, UNLESS they contact me first by using the "ask a question" feature below.

There is a $500.00 non-refundable deposit due by verified PayPal within 24 hours of the conclusion of the sale. "Verified" means that the funds are in the buyers PayPal account, and not funded by a credit card. The balance is due within 7 days, and may be by cash, check, or bank-to-bank transfer. Any form of check will hold the vehicle and title for up to 14 days pending clearing. I can store the vehicle for up to 30 days after full payment. I will also assist with loading if transport is used, and have a good easy place here to load.

Mazda delays US launch of Skyactiv-D engine

Thu, 09 Jan 2014

Japanese automakers haven't lead the charge towards diesel power in the same way as, say, the Germans have. But Mazda is out to change that. It has been following Audi's lead on the racetrack with oil-burning racecars right here in America, and will soon translate that excitement to the road by introducing its Skyactiv-D engine in North America. It just won't happen as soon as we expected.
Mazda announced today that, while its diesel engine meets current emissions requirements, the company has decided once again to push back an introduction originally slated to kick off in the Spring. According to the brief statement below, Mazda wants to take more time to find "the right balance between fuel economy and Mazda-appropriate driving performance."
In other words, the Zoom-Zoom brand apparently thinks its diesel engine doesn't deliver the zoom-zoom American drivers would expect, so we'll have to wait just a little bit longer. Details to follow closer to launch, whenever that will ultimately take place.

Mazda RX-3 restomod makes Leno scream, us cheer

Tue, Aug 25 2015

The Mazda RX-3 Savanna was the rotary-engined version of the Mazda 808 Grand Familia. Sold in the US from 1971 to 1978, the little Japanese fastback earned a reputation as an excellent racecar, winning events all over the world. A racing connection is how a fantastic 1973 restomod example owned by Savant Young made its way to Jay Leno's Garage. Young said that when he was a boy his uncle used to street race an RX-3, and Young liked how the RX-3 sounded and the fact that a tiny import could go up against and beat big V8s of the time. Leno admitted that he has no connection to the RX-3, saying it's not the kind of car he typically likes. But he liked Young's custom update so much that when he saw the coupe sitting outside the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles, he waited for the owner to show up. Young's changes over the 15 years he's owned the car include dropping in the rotary engine and running gear from the second-generation Mazda RX-7, bridge-ported and methane injected. At 15 pounds of boost he says it's putting out about 400 horsepower. The rear end comes from a Toyota Hilux half-ton pickup, to help put all that power down in a car that weighs maybe 2,100 pounds. The color is taken from the Lamborghini palette. Disc brakes all around, 14-inchers up front, control the velocity. Nothing controls the gas mileage, said to be "maybe 12 mpg." And nothing could stop Leno from whooping it up during the driver. Check out the fun in the video above.

Mazda3 successor due in dealers this fall

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

Following exciting new models like the 2013 CX-5 and 2014 Mazda6, Mazda is getting ready to introduce the next generation of its high-volume compact, the Mazda3. After talking to several of Mazda's dealers, Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is planning to introduce its new compact this fall, which is earlier than what was originally reported.
Aside from what we've seen in recent spy shots and what appeared to be a full-scale design mockup back in October, there is little information about the third-generation 3, but we can see that the car will get plenty of cues from Mazda's stylish Kodo design language, and we expect even more technologies from the company's SkyActiv efficiency program to come to bear. AN says that Mazda is hoping to top 300,000 sales this year in the US, and the sooner Mazda can replace the current aging 3, the better chances it has at reaching that goal.
