Description2005 MAZDA 3 S SPORT STICK SHIFT 5 SPEED MANUAL LOADED RUNS LIKE NEW

Thanks for taking a moment to visit another one of Car Connections USA’s latest offerings. This well optioned 2005 Mazda 3 is in excellent overall condition and has been well cared for by its previous owner.  Finished in a clean Gray exterior offset by a black interior with red inserts this Mazda looks great. Fitted with premium options including a 6 disc in dash CD, power locks and mirrors, power tilt sliding sunroof and more, this Mazda 3 will not disappoint.   This car just passed our 88 point inspection with flying colors.  Entertaining yet sophisticated in demeanor, the 2005 Mazda 3 doesn't look, feel or drive like an economy car. If you're shopping for a small, inexpensive sedan, this car should be at the top of your list. We have provided over 50 detailed photos for your review. We welcome your inspection prior to purchase. For more details contact our team directly at 610-644-6112.

 

 

Consistent with its upscale interior, the Mazda 3 tends to drive like a much more expensive sport sedan. Thanks to its performance-oriented chassis tuning, the 3 rewards the driving enthusiast with quick and communicative steering, a lack of discernible body roll and lots of grip on twisty blacktop. The s 2.3l engine is smooth and zippy, feeling quicker than its 155 hp would suggest. At the same time, the highway ride is smooth enough to please most commuters. All told, the 2005 Mazda 3 has refined road manners that will likely surprise car shoppers compared to the flabby ride and uninspiring handling typical of economy cars. If you're shopping for a small, inexpensive sedan, this car should be at the top of your list. We have provided over 50 detailed photos for your review. We welcome your inspection prior to purchase. For more details contact our team directly at 610-644-6112.

Insurance
  • Get a GEICO Quote.


Transfer of Title and Risk

We insure the vehicles on our lot during the time we have them available for sale.  Upon completion of the financial elements of the transaction (you paying us), we encourage you to insure the vehicle from that date forward.  We bear NO RESPONSIBILITY for anything that happens to your vehicle once it is out of our control.  Vehicles left at our facility for more than 3 days after payment will not be covered by our insurance unless previous arrangements have been made in writing prior to payment.

Warranty

Balance of Factory Warranty

We estimate factory warranty expiration dates using vehicle production dates and Carfax information.   We are not responsible for factory warranty expiration dates, remaining warranty time, type, validity, or other information. If you want to be certain of the exact warranty expiration date, terms, validity, etc., please verify this information with a certified franchise dealer of the applicable car make.  In the course of business, we try to match our risk with areas where we have control over our service level.  We hope you understand this.   

Terms
Payment Types:Certified Funds and Institutional Financing
Fees:Our auctions have no hidden fees. All in State vehicles are subject to a $110 Documentary fee and out of State vehicles are subject to a $131 Documentary fee. This fee covers the paperwork involved in transferring a vehicle into your name. It applies to dealers, wholesalers, international transactions, priests, you get the gist. We also offer a 30 day transit tag for buyers from outside of PA. This tag is available at a cost to you of $55 and we will need a valid insurance card and driver's license to issue this tag. The last optional service is a Vehicle Prep Package. We offer a Deluxe Detail for $185 which includes the vehicle to be detailed professionally and a full tank of premium fuel when you pick it up (vehicles over 25 gallons may not apply). This may sound odd to you, but we often ship cars, in which case they are sent with very little fuel at the request of the shipping company.
Terms:We require a $500 non-refundable deposit via Paypal within 24 hours of auctions close. This will hold the car for you and you exclusively for up to 7 days while you gather your funds or finalize your financing. We will refuse any other offers on the vehicle and will begin preparing the vehicle and documents for your delivery. Any financing arrangements are strictly between you and the lender and do not impact your contract to purchase the vehicle. The deposit is not refundable if you change your mind or if you cannot obtain financing on the vehicle. Should you need us to hold the car beyond the week, we ask for a deposit of $500 for every $10,000 of vehicle value. This will protect you as well as us. This deposit is the only liquidated damages you would be expected to forfeit should you fail to follow through with our contract to purchase the vehicle. Please call us at (610)644-6112 before bidding to inquire about any special arrangements outside of the terms listed above.

  • Texas Auto Shipping is a fully licensed vehicle shipping company that works with dealerships and direct customers Nationwide. We offer "door-to-door" low-cost shipping services using enclosed and open trailers.

We work with several shipping companies and are quite pleased to assist you in getting quotes and arranging pickup of the vehicle.  That said, any shipping contract is between you and the shipping company selected.  Car Connections USA, Inc and its employees, directors and managers bear no resposibility for delays in shipping, damage to or loss of the vehicle once it is in the shippers control or any other liability related to the shipment of your vehicle.  When the shipper picks the vehicle up at our facility, we will review the condition of the vehicle with the driver and will sign a Bill of Lading describing any deficiencies or cosmetic blemishes noted during our walkaround.  Many shippers try to protect their liability by marking the Bill of Lading as though the car has hundreds of imperfections.  We will not allow this to happen.  We encourage you to examine the vehicle closely upon its arrival and to take up any concerns about damage or cosmetic imperfections at the time of arrival BEFORE SIGNING THE BILL OF LADING.  Once you sign the Bill of Lading, the shipper is realeased from liability and you are on your own.  Should you find surprise damage and see that it is on the Bill of Lading, please contact us promptly and email us the Bill of Lading.  We will compare it to our copy and notify you of any discrepancies.  Some shippers damage a vehicle and simply document the damage on the Bill of Lading as though it existed at the time they picked it up.  We describe our vehicles and find it VERY unlikely that you would find a surprise upon arrival. 

About Us

Car Connections USA, Inc was founded in 2005 by Dave Coughlin. Car Connections USA, Inc was founded in an effort to fix much of what we believe is wrong with the car industry. Dave graduated from the Wharton School of Business at The University of Pennsylvania in 1996. After graduation, Dave spent 6 years working in Public Accounting and Consulting for PricewaterhouseCoopers,LLP.

 

A Word From Our Founder:

During my tenure at PwC, people would often ask me to help them find, buy or sell cars. It frustrated me to no end to have only limited ability to help people negotiate. Frankly, I was disgusted by the lack of knowledge and professionalism in the automobile industry. In 2002, I resigned my position with PwC to chase my dream in the automobile industry. I committed all of my resources to building an automobile business based upon knowledge, integrity and value.

Today, our Dealership provides these three factors to our clients. We offer you our knowledge at no cost. If you have a question about a car you own or are considering buying, we encourage you to contact us for advice. We offer integrity by giving honest advice and honest descriptions of the cars we sell. If you ask us to compare one of our cars and another one you’re considering, we will give you accurate data about both cars to help you decide upon the right one. Value is offered in our low prices. We sell our cars consistently for thousands below franchise dealer prices. How much are you willing to pay for marble floors and fancy showrooms? We operate on a low overhead model that enables us to sell cars with minimal markup.

We know your time is valuable and we appreciate your taking time to learn more about our organization. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you might have. We are looking forward to making your next car buying experience a positive one!
