2008 Mazda 3 S Grand Touring on 2040-cars
Madison, Wisconsin, United States
|
I acquired
this 2008 Mazda 3 S Grand Touring 4-door
sedan brand new and I am selling it because I have a new car on the way. It has
been driven all its life by a little old man, and that would be me. I initially
leased it, and then I liked it so much that I bought it. It now has only 54,611 miles on it and been cared for meticulously.
It is the S Grand Touring model, which is the most premium of the trim levels. It also has virtually every option available that year, including pearlescent white paint; factory navigation system; moonroof; and the BOSE 7-Speaker audio system, which includes a subwoofer, and in-dash 6-CD changer. It’s a 5-speed manual, which is rare for the S Grand Touring model, and the reason I was attracted to it. The interior is black leather and has lots of bells & whistles including a 60/40 fold down rear seat, steering-wheel audio controls, auxiliary audio input for your IPod or whatever, automatic climate control, etc., etc. It also has a very easy-to-use factory GPS navigation system with a nice big screen, which I'm gonna miss. Cosmetically this car is superb with virtually not a scratch on it. I had both the interior and exterior of this car professionally detailed March 24 for a cost of $137.02. It included shampooing & extracting the carpets, as well as washing & buffing the exterior and applying hard-wax. Routine maintenance and oil-change were conducted last March 11 at 54,371 or 240 miles ago. Tires were new at 25,744 so have 28,867 on them. One recall was attended to [power steering pump]. Have maintenance records, of course. No accidents. This car listed for $23,775 new. I plugged the details into Edmond.com to appraise it. Dealer retail is $12,692. I am no dealer, so I have set the reserve significantly below that. In sum, if you’re in the market for a small sporty sedan that’s 5- or 6-years old with low miles, with a 5-speed manual, then you’re not going to find one nicer than this. To quote Edmond’s on the Mazda 3 S Grand Touring model: “Entertaining yet sophisticated in demeanor, the 2008 Mazda 3 doesn't look, feel or drive like an economy car. If you're shopping for a small, inexpensive sedan or hatchback, this car should be at the top of your list.” I will be glad to help you with shipping this puppy to wherever you are. But the entire cost and all the details are your own. Winning bidder must send me $500 via PayPal within 24 hours, which in nonrefundable. Payment upon pickup must be in cash or cashier's check. No personal checks, postage stamps, etc. No Canadian bidders please. (Had a bad experience with that.) Thank you for reading all this stuff. |

We go Unplugged to celebrate Mazda Miata Month
Tue, 29 Jul 2014Chances are good that you, loyal Autoblog reader, have long since chosen to follow us on Twitter and 'like' us on Facebook. (If you haven't, feel free to take a second and do so right now.) Anyway, if you're one of our social media posse, you might have already heard that we're smack dab in the middle of Miata Month. We've gotten Mazda to loan us a couple of MX-5 Miatas, allowing us to say a protracted, tear-filled goodbye to the current generation (NC) of the beloved roadster, just before it exits stage right and ushers in the next generation.
You'll see a few more Miata Month items here on Autoblog after we've said our final farewell, but we absolutely wanted to make sure we created some great video evidence of our month, as well. Right down below, then, in its unfiltered-audio splendor, is the Autoblog Unplugged version of the 2015 Mazda MX-5 Miata PRHT. Your author had a pretty great time wringing out the roadster for the creation of our short vid, and we really hope you dig listening along.
2014 Mazda Skyactiv Prototype looks ready for Daytona
Fri, 17 Jan 2014With less than two weeks before the Mazda Skyactiv Prototype makes its race debut at the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, the Japanese Zoom-Zoom brand brought its diesel-powered racer to the floor of the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
The red prototype marks Mazda's return to prototype racing, and will campaign the inaugural Tudor United SportsCar Championship using a 2.2-liter, SkyActiv-D diesel engine. With 451 horsepower on tap and 580 pound-feet of torque, the racer should stand up well against a field of gas-powered competitors.
Should the Skyactiv win Daytona, it'll be a coup for Mazda. The racer is running an engine with over 50 percent of its parts drawn from the oft-delayed production Skyactiv-D. Head up top for our full gallery of images of the new Skyactiv Prototype. The 2014 Rolex 24 will be run from January 25 to 26.
Autotrader picks best cars for 2015's college grads
Sun, May 31 2015Summer is here and the school season is winding to a close. That means millions of students will be graduating college and (hopefully) entering the workforce. For many, that will mean buying a new car suited to the new stage in life into which they will now be embarking. That can be a bewildering choice, especially for someone who's never bought a car before. Fortunately, Autotrader has come up with a short list of recommended cars – new and used – which it recommends to the graduating class of 2015. Among the site's top choices are some compelling crossovers and hatchbacks, including the Buick Encore, Chevy Trax, and Jeep Renegade, as well as the Honda Fit, Nissan Versa Note, Mazda3 and Fiat 500. Can't stretch to buying new, or don't see the point? Autotrader has also identified the Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion and even the Lexus IS as smart buys in the certified pre-owned category. "Any time someone goes through a major life change, such as graduating college, they need to determine if their current ride makes sense for their lifestyle, from both a financial and functional perspective," says Autotrader editor Brian Moody. "For example, while that hand-me-down SUV from your parents was nice when you turned 16, you may want to opt for a safer, more fuel-efficient car as you transition into the working world." Autotrader Names 10 Best Cars for Recent College Graduates ATLANTA, May 28, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- For many, graduating college is a milestone like no other – it represents a new chapter, a proud accomplishment and, fortunately or unfortunately, financial independence. Luckily for graduates who are in the market for a new car to suit their post-college lifestyle, Autotrader's expert editors say now is a great time to make a purchase, as dealerships are flush with affordable models that are fun, fuel-efficient and thoughtfully designed.
