2010 Mazda Rx-8 R3 Coupe 4-door 1.3l on 2040-cars
Everett, Washington, United States
One smoke free owner, not modified in any way, and well taken care of. For those not familiar with the R3 version, it only came with a 6 speed manual, and no real options. It is the "race" edition if you will that Mazda made for a
couple of years only. Limited slip differential, sleek side sill extensions and rear wing spoiler, aggressively sculpted front end, Special 19" forged alloy wheels, special colors, high performance suspension with special Bilstein shocks, special high bolstered Recaro front bucket seats with leather and mesh, Bose 9 speaker center-point surround sound stereo system, key-less entry and start system, hands-free Bluetooth, Xenon headlights, fog lights, 6 CD changer, door edge guards. I don't know this for sure, but the R3 may also have a different exhaust system than the standard RX-8 as it had a meatier sound to me than most other RX-8s I hear.
Yokohama 560 treadwear tires with about 15k miles on them. Still plenty of tread left. The only service performed besides oil changes every 5K miles was having the dealer replace a bad TPMS sensor about 4k miles ago. No other issues. Comes with a car cover. CarFax is available on request. It was in an accident when it was a year old and it was pretty much what I would call cosmetic damage (no structural or frame damage), but the prices of parts nowadays is outrageous! They replaced the hood (minimal damage to one corner but it is aluminum and was replaced), front bumper cover, right fender (less damage than the hood, but slightly bowed and it did not fit flush anymore), right headlight (broken), right fog light (broken), and right oil cooler (mounting bracket bent). I drove the car home with no issues, the only car able to drive away from the 3 car accident. Total repair bill was $9500 with $5,800 of that in parts. I am not trying to hide anything, I want to be very transparent. It doesn't benefit me to hide anything. Everything works perfectly and the car has no issues. Drives great! See the window sticker picture for a complete list of standard features and options. There is a lienholder on this car, as I still owe on it. As on 12/1/13, NADA Clean retail is at $18,950, Edmunds says $19,157. I am asking $19,000. I love this car and it is a blast to drive and it gets so many comments because of it's color (especially at night), sexy looks, and unique sound. I am selling as I want something that is more practical. I am also listing this car locally and reserve the right to end this auction early. |

Mazda recalls 1.37 million older vehicles for ignition switch short [UPDATE]
Fri, Oct 23 2015UPDATE: Mazda has confirmed to Autoblog that NHTSA's figures and list of effected models are accurate. Mazda is recalling 1,368,500 older vehicles in the US that date as far back as the late '80s because a potential short circuit in the ignition switch could cause a fire. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the models include: 1990-1995 323 1993-1998 626 1993-1995 929 1989-1998 MPV 1993-1997 MX-6 1992-1993 MX-3 1990-1998 Protege Mazda reports that over time the grease around the switch's contact points can carbonize and become conductive, which can eventually lead to a short circuit. In some cases this results in smoke, but it could also lead to a fire. According to company spokesperson Tamara Mlynarczyk to Autoblog, there're no accidents, injuries, or fires in the US. Once the vehicle is running, the potential fault also doesn't affect drivability. Documents from NHTSA (as a PDF), indicate there was a fire in one of these vehicles in Japan in 2002 that could have been linked to this issue. The recall should begin in December. In its announcement of the issue below, Mazda reports 1.2 million vehicles affected and includes the 1990-1996 323/Protege. Autoblog has reached out to the company to understand the discrepancy.

In the affected vehicles, grease applied to the contact points inside the ignition switch may become conductive and overheat. CONSEQUENCE: If the ignition switch overheats there would be an increased risk of a fire. REMEDY: Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 15, 2015. Owners may contact Mazda Customer Experience Center at 1-800-222-5500, option#6. Mazda's number for this recall is 8715J.
2015 Mazda2 revealed ahead of Paris debut [w/videos]
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Small cars may be big business, but the world's automakers don't seem to be in any particular rush to keep them fresh. The new Smart Fortwo unveiled yesterday replaces a model that's already been around for seven years, and based on a structure dating back to the late '90s. The new Opel Corsa revealed just last week replaces a model that had been around for eight years. And the Mazda2 has been on the market in its current form for seven years now, but not for much longer because Mazda has finally revealed its successor.
Set to be unveiled at the Paris Motor Show this October, the new Mazda2 follows the stylistic lead of the Hazumi concept remarkably close, from the sharply creased front end right down to the wheel design - bringing the supermini hatchback in line with the KODO design language that characterizes its bigger siblings: the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5.
Although details released thus far are rather limited, and power will vary from one market to another, engine options center around a 1.5-liter four in both gasoline and diesel versions, joining the manual and automatic transmissions and the chassis itself under Mazda's Skyactiv technology umbrella. We wouldn't expect the diesel version to make it across the Pacific (or across the border from the plant that will build it alongside a new Toyota hatch in Mexico), but rumors have surfaced of a potential rotary hybrid. The new 2 will also include the company's MZD connectivity suite and i-Activsense safety technology.
