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.

We're not going to beat around the bush: for the kind of person who willfully chooses to take longer, windier and more scenic routes to get to Point B, the 2014 Mazda3 is the new compact car measuring stick by which others will be judged. That doesn't, of course, make it the right choice for every buyer.
We'll spend the next thousand words or so explaining the whys and hows that make our opening statement a fact, but for now, suffice it to say that Mazda has engineered its latest crop of vehicles - namely the CX-5, Mazda6 and its smaller sibling and subject of this test, the Mazda3 - from the ground up. Absolutely everything about the Mazda3 is refined for 2014, from its chassis to its engines and everything in between, and it was done in a completely new and holistic way. Every component, subcomponent and stamping required to bolt and weld together an automobile was rethought to ensure the Mazda3 has what it takes to compete with such established benchmarks as the Honda Civic and Ford Focus.

The 2014 North American International Auto Show is right around the corner, which means it's high time we found out which cars and trucks would be finalists for the prestigious North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards.
The finalists - three in cars and three in three trucks/utilities - are dominated by American brands, with two-thirds of the finalists hailing from either General Motors or Chrysler (don't worry Ford, there's always next year), while outliers from Mazda and Acura can be found in each contest. Here now is the list of finalists for the big prizes:

An Extended Stay With The Sexy Six
The new-for-2014 Mazda6 sedan is more than just a pretty face. For Mazda, it marks the company's best effort yet at competing in the highly competitive midsize sedan segment, all the while staying true to the brand's core value of offering high levels of driver involvement above all. We certainly came away impressed after our first drive of the sleek Six in France last fall, and we knew right from the start that this would be a car we'd want to spend a lot of time with back here at home.
So with that in mind, the folks at Mazda graciously agreed to loan us the fully loaded Soul Red tester you see here for a one-year stay in the Autoblog long-term garage. Because of how important this car is to the segment, and to Mazda as a brand, we know there's going to be a lot to talk about it over the next 12 months. Right now, though, allow us to introduce you to the newest member of our long-term family.
