Up for auction is a very clean, mechanically sound 2006 Mazda RX-8. We are selling this vehicle without a reserve - the highest bidder will win this car. The car comes with a 6 speed automatic transmission, sunroof, power windows and locks, cruise control, steering wheel controls, leather interior, power seat, heated seats, and 6-disc CD changer. I do not know of ANY mechanical problems with the vehicle. It cranks, runs, drives and shifts great. There are no warning lights on in the vehicle (check engine, ABS, air bag, etc). It has cold air conditioning and all accessories on the vehicle (windows, cd player, power seat) are in good working order. The car is extremely clean inside and out, having only very minor scratches as would be expected from a 7 year-old vehicle. The front tires are practically new, and the rear tires have about 60% tread life remaining. The only cosmetic defects that I can find on the car are a small door ding on the driver's door (no paint damage), and some light cracking in the dashboard on the passenger's side (shown in pictures). This is a rust-free car, having only been registered in the states of Florida and South Carolina. While this is a great looking and driving car, it does have two issues showing on its vehicle history report. First, it was involved in an accident in March of 2010. The damage was on the driver's side, but it did not result in the air bags being deployed. The paint and body work appear to be very well done, as the paint is smooth and matches well and all gaps align properly. This is NOT a salvage vehicle!!! The second event is a mileage inconsistency from a lien recorded on 5/23/2011 with a reported odometer reading of 91,108. This was not recorded during a sale of the vehicle, but during the recording of a lien (such as from the vehicle being refinanced). With the exception of this one recording, the mileage appears to be consistent through the vehicle's history (look at Auto Check report that is available above). It is my belief that this was simply a recording error by the bank from which the owner got their loan, but this is just my opinion and I can not 100% guarantee the vehicle's mileage to be accurate. As a result, the vehicle will be sold true miles unknown (TMU). We have a South Carolina title in hand, and the only brand appearing on the title is, as mentioned, "Not Actual Mileage." You are welcome to inspect the vehicle or have it inspected by a third party prior to purchase. Although we guarantee all systems on the vehicle to be in good working order at the time of purchase, we do not offer any warranty after the sale. This vehicle is being sold "As Is." If you have any questions, please contact Brett at (864) 388-7828, Monday through Friday, 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM EST. We will gladly answer any of your questions or provide any additional pictures you may wish to see. $500 PayPal deposit due within 48 hours of auction close, with balance due in full within 7 days. Buyer is responsible for vehicle pick-up or delivery.
AGAIN, PLEASE UNDERSTAND BEFORE BIDDING THAT THE TITLE FOR THIS VEHICLE WILL BE BRANDED "NOT ACTUAL MILEAGE."

Mazda CEO closes door on talk of RX sports car revival
Mon, 10 Nov 2014Some rumors in the auto industry simply refuse to die. Over the last decade, a few of the strongest have focused on Japan. A few years ago, we could have explained away the constant whispering over a new Toyota Supra, Acura NSX or Mazda RX-7 as nostalgia for Japan's golden era of performance. Today, though is different.
We already have the Nissan GT-R, and, thanks to the Toyota FT-1 Concept, a Supra successor finally appears to be on the way. Acura will someday, allegedly, deliver on its promise to put the NSX on sale. So where does that leave the third member of the Japanese performance trio mentioned above? Well, um, it still isn't happening.
"We don't have that kind of vehicle in our future product plan," Mazda CEO Masamichi Kogai told Automotive News when asked about a successor to the rotary-powered RX line. "If you increase the number of segments, then the resources we can allocate to each will decline and that will prevent us from developing truly good products."
Takata airbag recall spreads to China with 42k Mazda sedans
Mon, 07 Jul 2014The scope of the problem with the faulty airbag inflators from Takata continues to broaden and is now reaching China, as well. Mazda is recalling 42,732 Mazda6 units there, produced by its local joint venture partner China FAW Car Company, to replace the front passenger airbags. It comes as part of Mazda's recall of nearly 160,000 vehicles worldwide, including about 34,600 in the US, according to Reuters.
This is the same problem that caused seven automakers in the US to recall an estimated 2.1 million vehicles in late June. The airbag inflators can potentially explode instead of deploying the airbag, which hampers the bag's inflation. In some cases occupants are also hit by the metal shrapnel, which can cause further injuries. In the US, Mazda is repairing the 2003-2007 Mazda6 (pictured above), 2006-2007 Mazdaspeed6, 2004 MPV and 2004-2008 RX-8 originally sold in or currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii.
This is hardly the first instance of this issue. Since 2001, there have been 20 recalls tied to the exploding airbags supplied by Takata. The problem is possibly linked to the propellant in the inflators, but there's no conclusive evidence of that yet. Most of the automakers in the US limited the most recent recalls only to a few humid states because moisture potentially exacerbated the problem.
How long will the 'golden age' of performance last?
Sat, Mar 26 2016High-powered sports and luxury cars were everywhere at the New York Auto Show, prompting the obvious question for enthusiasts: How long will this golden age of performance last? Industry leaders have some time before regulations elevate the Corporate Average Fuel Economy level in 2025. Even then, they expect cars rippling with power to survive in some form. "Is it the end of an era," I don't think so," said Ola Kallenius, Daimler AG board member for Mercedes-Benz cars marketing and sales. "That performance element of individual mobility I don't think will ever go away." Kallenius, who oversaw the company's AMG division from 2010-2013, expects it to continue to grow. Last year, AMG sold a record 68,875 units around the world, an increase of 44.6 percent over 2014, with strong growth in the US, China, and Germany. Still, there's always the potential for gas to spike, and pending fuel economy regulations are looming. That could lead AMG to add electrification to its products, Kallenius said, pointing to the electric SLS as a test case. Chevy is also thinking ahead, said Al Oppenheiser, chief engineer of the Camaro. He wouldn't bite when asked about electrification for the Camaro (he did say "never say never"), but admitted in 2025 "it's going to be pretty tough to sell V8s." For now, things are rosy for muscle cars, and Chevy confidently showcased the 640-hp Camaro ZL1 in coupe and convertible form in New York. "I think that this is truly the golden age of performance," Oppenheiser said. It's hard to disagree. News & Analysis News: The 2017 Mazda MX-5 Miata RF was a show-stopper in New York. Analysis: There was a palpable energy when this RF — for Retractable Fastback — was revealed the night before the show at a trendy off-site venue near the Hudson River. Even as a parade of SUVs and flashy luxury cars rolled out the rest of the week, the Miata remained a hot topic. The Retractable Fastback is really a clever targa top, with part of the roof stowing behind the seats, adding about 100 pounds compared to the standard convertible. It makes the car more practical and arguably more attractive. The RF continues Mazda's tradition of selling the Miata with a hardtop variant. The first and second generations offered a detachable one, and a power retractable hardtop (a $1,700 option) was available on third-gen models. Judging by its reception in New York, the RF could prove to be even more popular than its predecessors.
