2006 Mazda Rx-8 Grand Touring, Manual 6-speed, No Reserve on 2040-cars
Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
|
If you don't know too much about cars with rotary engines, I would be happy to help out with answers (or rx8club is a great resource and has excellent guides that I used back when I was looking for an RX-8).
This is a super clean example of a dependable stock series 1 with ZERO issues! As far as options, the car has Brown/Black two tone leather, power sunroof w/shade, power/heated seat, professionally installed aux jack for your iPhone/Droid/etc, keyless entry with the 'credit card' key that fits in your wallet, and all the appearance package goodies. This car is in immaculate condition and would easily be in the "excellent" condition category on KBB. (Blue Book value $9700!) The engine is original and was last compression tested in 2010 at a dealership and passed with flying colors, and it is running perfectly today. Mazda had some issues/recalls with the RX-8 in 04 and a couple in 05, but they figured it all out by the 06 model year (This is why you'll find a bunch of 04's for sale on craigslist). It was inspected two weeks ago by a reputable mechanic and there were no issues at all. Since I got the car, the only work that needed to be done was the clutch slave cylinder was replaced (and the brake master cylinder along with it). Oil changed religiously every 2.5k miles, and I check the oil level every other time I drive to keep it between 3/4 and full. Tires have plenty of tread. The only issues are a small dent on the front bumper to the left of the Mazda emblem (pictured), and a tiny parking ding in the drivers side rear door (not pictured, didn't show up). Some rock chips on the bottom of the front bumper from highway driving. Wheels look great but have minor curb scuffing. Nothing noticeable from 5+ feet away. There are NO issues mechanically, everything works great! Previous owner a late-30s father of two. I have more pictures up on imgur, email me for a link. The car is in Boston right now, but I occasionally am making trips down to Philly (moving soon), so if you live somewhere along the northeast corridor and are flexible with timing I might be able to drop the car off to you! You are welcome to come see it in person and and any requests for specific additional photos will be responded to promptly! |

Mazda recalls 109k Tribute models for rust issue
Fri, 18 Apr 2014The Mazda Tribute is being hit with a similar recall as its platform-mate the Ford Escape underwent a few weeks ago. Mazda is recalling 109,000 Tributes from model years 2001 to 2004. On the trucks, the subframe can rust from road salt, potentially causing the lower control arm to detach. If this happens, a loss of steering control could occur.
Mazda is adding a reinforcement crossbrace for added strength on the affected models. The recall covers Tributes currently registered in or originally sold in 20 northern states and Washington, DC, where road salt is used.
The reinforcement braces aren't available yet to do the repair. Mazda will send a letter in May to owners of affected vehicles that will inform them of the problem, and a second letter telling them when the parts will be ready. Scroll down to read the full recall press release.
2016 Mazda CX-3 scores 29/35 mpg EPA ratings
Tue, Jun 9 2015Looking for a subcompact crossover that won't cost you too much at the pumps? Your best bet is now the new Mazda CX-3, according to fuel economy figures released by the EPA. Mazda's new baby crossover has been rated by the US government agency at 29 miles per gallon in the city, 35 on the highway, and 31 on the combined cycle. That's in front-drive spec, giving the CX-3 better fuel economy than anything else in its class (at least, that is, with an automatic transmission.) Option it with all-wheel drive and you'll take a slight penalty at 27 mpg in the city, 32 on the highway, and 29 combined. According to Mazda that still "makes it among the most fuel-efficient all-wheel-drive vehicles available in the US." Whichever drivetrain option you go for, the CX-3 packs a 2.0-liter inline-four with direct injection (Skyactiv-G in Mazda-speak) good for 146 horsepower and just as much torque, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The first examples will begin reaching American showrooms later this summer.

As Mazda's first foray into the quickly burgeoning subcompact crossover class of vehicles, CX-3 provides those seeking a purposeful, stylish and sporty vehicle option that bucks convention. CX-3 offers standard keyless ignition and backup camera, and is available with features that are unrivalled in its class like Mazda Radar Cruise Control, adaptive LED headlights and Mazda's signature driving experience. Front-wheel-drive models have EPA-estimated fuel economy of 29 mpg city/35 mpg highway/31 mpg combined, while models equipped with Mazda's predictive i-ACTIV AWD have EPA-estimated fuel economy of 27 mpg city/32 mpg highway/29 mpg combined. That makes it among the most-efficient all-wheel-drive vehicles available in the U.S. "SKYACTIV Technology means we don't have to compromise when it comes to performance, efficiency and fun-to-drive dynamics," said Jim O'Sullivan, president and CEO, Mazda North American Operations.
Mazda6 Skyactiv-D Racecar ready to bring diesel to Grand-Am
Tue, 15 Jan 2013It may not be quite as radical as some of the company's past rotary racers, but the new Mazda6 Skyactiv-D racecar does have a notable powertrain underhood: the automaker's brand-new clean diesel four-cylinder engine.
Three of these new diesel-powered Mazda6 racers will take to the track in the Grand-Am GX class of the upcoming 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona on January 26, with five drivers on each team. The car you see above, number 70, is sponsored by Mazda's longtime motorsports partner, SpeedSource.
