(have found several here on Ebay for $100 or less)small tear at seam of driver seat."

Apologies beforehand, I am not familiar with selling on Ebay, and I am not a car dealer. I just need to sell this car to buy a family size car. I have tried to be as specific and upfront as possible.

2004 Mazda RX-8 with 119,200 miles. 6 speed manual transmission. The color is Brilliant Black, with black leather interior and carpet. The car is sitting on 18" American Racing "Casino" wheels. They have gloss black/polished finish. The rims and tires are only about 6 months old. About 3500 miles on them. Has power sliding sunroof, factory alarm with key fob that locks/unlocks doors as well as pops the trunk. Factory CD player with Bose speakers. The CD player and speakers really aren't worth bragging about. I had intended to replace with aftermarket but it was going to be too expensive to do so, and I decided to buy new rims and tires rather than waste the money on a stereo.

I can send additional pictures to you personally if needed. just contact me with your phone number or email address.

I purchased this car in 2010 and knew nothing about Mazda's or rotary engines. I soon found out they are a little different than american sports cars. The mazda rx8 runs on premium fuel. If you use regular unleaded the car will not run very good, will most likely stall and possibly cause internal engine damage. So that is a definite no no. Another important thing is to check the oil level with each fuel purchase, or at least once every two weeks. I use Castrol GTX 5w-30 for high mileage every 3000 miles.

The early model RX-8's had several minor problems from the factory, there were quite a few recalls out for various things. Many had to have the engine replaced. Mine does not have the low compression problem. It runs very good. No lack of power. And as far as I know it is the original engine. OF the recalls and common problems I am aware of the only ones this car was affected by are the faulty coolant level sensor in the coolant reservoir. The float in the tank absorbed coolant and sank rather than float. So when you had the proper amount of coolant it would still read low coolant. I simply unplugged the sensor rather than replace the faulty tank. My reason for doing this is that the car does not overheat or leak coolant so I have no reason to worry about the coolant level sensor. Also I stay on top of the fluid levels in my cars and don't need a computer to tell me when to check things. The only other known problem is with the RX-8 factory stereos. They are notorious for having buttons that stop working. The screen also does some crazy things sometimes. The radio and cd player work just fine, never had a problem. But the button to set the clock doesn't seem to work and every so often the screen where the time and radio station are displayed will blink/flash rapidly. I have only seen it do this 3 times since I have owned the car. Like I said earlier, the factory stereo is nothing to brag about, It should be replaced with a real stereo and some good speakers anyways. I just didn't want to do it because at the time the adapter needed for aftermarket stereos in the RX-8 was nearly $200.00 by itself.

As for the condition and history of this car, I purchased it in 2010. I ran an autocheck report on it prior to buying and found out that it had been a lease vehicle for most of its life with no accidents on the history. It was then sold at auction and ended up being owned by an individual. This individual hit a curb which bent a rim tore the plastic under the fender well and caused the driver's side curtain airbag to deploy. There was no major damage to the car. I bought it in this condition I repaired the headliner where it was pushed out from the airbag, and I bought a set of used factory RX-8 wheels to use temporarily. A few months later I ordered a brand new set of 18" American Racing wheels and purchase new tires as well as had a front wheel alignment done. This is my girlfriend's daily driver and thanks to the drive-thru's at What a burger and Jack n the Box two of the new rims have some scratches on them. They are still good looking wheels. There is a spot a couple inches long on the driver's side of rear bumper where someone rubbed it in a parking lot. Their insurance paid $500 which wasn't enough to cover a new bumper so I used it to purchase the new tires and left the scratch. About 6 months ago a teenager changed lanes without looking and bumped the passenger side rear quarter panel. It made a small dent and scuffed up the paint. No major damage. It was repaired with lifetime warranty on paint work. These are the only "accidents" or types of damage that I am aware of. Neither of which caused enough damage to be considered and accident by insurance standards.

The current autocheck report shows no accidents, but does state that the car had 155,xxx miles when it was last inspected in March 2013. This is not accurate. The car had 115,xxx miles. The mileage has not been altered in anyway. This is an entry mistake on behalf of the person that did the emission testing. He was in a hurry, because I had brought the car in several times while trying to figure out which sensor was causing the engine light to come on and cause the fail.

I live in Joshua, TX and can not ship the vehicle. You must make arrangements to inspect, or test drive the car and pick it up upon sale. I may be willing to meet in surrounding cities. IF you have any questions feel free to contact me here, or you can send me an email at kaurik311@gmail.com or call or text 817-679-1793 Jon

License Plates will be removed prior to sale. You must plan to immediately transfer ownership upon purchasing.

Mazda CX-3 almost ready for LA Show

Mon, 17 Nov 2014

The Mazda CX-3 is just days away from its unveiling at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show, but elsewhere in the world, the Japanese brand still has the compact crossover disguised for testing. These spy shots aren't too camouflaged though, and when combined with the previous teaser image, they give a pretty clear idea what the new model will look like.
The grille here is well covered, but the photo from the front reveals the similarities to the design sketch. The rear shows a similar horizontally oriented design as the Mazda2, which the CUV is based on. However, the dipping sides around the B-pillar from the teaser don't appear to be on this tester. Even with all the swirls, the vehicle looks fairly attractive.
Mazda is doing a fantastic job of keeping mechanical details about the CX-3 a secret. It's not yet known whether the model is front-wheel-drive only or if all-wheel drive is also an option. The crossover also likely shares the Mazda2's engine, which isn't revealed for North America, yet. The diminutive CUV will compete with a huge crop of new classmates, including the Fiat 500X, Jeep Renegade, Chevrolet Trax and Honda HR-V. Check out the gallery for the latest glimpses of this Japanese CUV just days ahead of its full debut.

Did Mazda designer Derek Jenkins leave to head up a 'Stealth Project?'

Sat, Jul 25 2015

Not long after Derek Jenkins officially gave the 2016 MX-5 Miata to the buying world, he's left the Mazda building. Jalopnik reported that the head of design for Mazda North America changed the current job description on his LinkedIn profile to "Stealth Project." Mazda backed up the discovery with this reply to Jalop's inquiry: Derek left Mazda last Friday. He left on great terms in order to work on a new endeavor. We wish him the best of luck. He will be missed, but we are sure that he will do great things in the next chapter of his career. That "last Friday" would be July 17. Emphasizing the "stealth" bit in his new position, as far as we can tell, Jenkins still hasn't publicly answered any question about what he's doing. Every automaker has secrets, but traditional automakers usually make a hubbub about hiring big-name designers, especially one with Jenkins' resume. For his new employer to go all Ghost Recon with all information, well that's the kind of mystery this summer needs. The obvious culprit would be a certain fruit-named company in a certain Cupertino, CA office park. If that ends up being the case, Jenkins would be the second chief designer at Mazda NA to go electric: he replaced Franz von Holzhausen in the position after von Holzhausen went to Tesla. Various other Apple Project Titan hires have made the news, though. For all we know, Jenkins' project might not be automotive. So let's just go ahead and cue the speculation. We're looking forward to whatever he's got coming, and to whoever gets nominated to keep the full head of Zoom-Zoom going at Mazda NA.

Fiat 124 spied with top down

Sun, Sep 27 2015

With fall officially here, the days are rapidly running out for much of the country to put the top down and enjoy a convertible. Fiat apparently wants to take advantage of the good weather while it lasts, given these fresh spy shots of the 124 Spider testing with the roof down. In terms of styling, these photos show the droptop with an extremely similar look to the ones from July. The roadster still appears to have rounded headlights and a wide grille up front, which the kidney-shaped cladding does nothing to hide. The hood bulge continues to be there, too, and so is the spiderweb-pattern camouflage. However, these new shots let us check out the roll hoops that are visible with the top out of the way, and we even get to see the manual roof in operation. Also, note there are now dual exhausts at the rear, rather than the quad tips from before. Underneath all this camo and cladding, we know that the 124 Spider shares underpinnings with the new Mazda MX-5 Miata. The engine remains a mystery, but competing rumors suggest the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the current 500 Abarth or the 1.7-liter turbo four from the Alfa Romeo 4C. Thankfully, an answer might not be too far away because the roadster is mooted to debut this year, possibly at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. With the latest Miata receiving high praise from critics, the motoring world soon gets to find out whether Fiat can find any room for improvement. Related Video:
