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. |

Mazda5 may not be long for this world
Thu, Feb 5 2015The concept behind building a smaller but still useful minivan like the Mazda5 always seemed like such a good idea. However, since the little people hauler's introduction, there has been the rise of the compact crossover in the US, which fulfills a similar niche for many buyers. The future is not looking good for the utilitarian Mazda. Autocar from the UK reports that company officials confirm the Mazda5 is being discontinued there, with no replacement planned. Autoblog reached out to Mazda North America, but the company would not verify future product changes in this region. Though, the model's cancellation would hardly be a surprise to follow in North America, as well. The minivan market is a tough place these days, and dealers tend to prefer more expensive models for their high margins. Even FCA US is abandoning the inexpensive portion of the segment for the next-gen Chrysler Town & Country. The Mazda5 isn't exactly a sales standout, either. Mazda sold 11,613 of them in all of 2014, which was a 16.4 percent drop from 13,884 in 2013. To compare to larger, more expensive minivans, Honda moved 122,738 units of the Odyssey last year, and Toyota did 124,502 examples of the Sienna.

Mazda teases its Tokyo-bound EV again — and it's a crossover coupe
Fri, Oct 18 2019Another 15-second teaser clip, the third so far, stars Mazda's coming electric vehicle in the role of coquette. This time we get a glimpse of the body shape, and coming as a shock to no one since Mazda practically admitted it, we'll be seeing a crossover coupe on the Tokyo Motor Show floor. Mazda says there'll be a few surprises therein, though. The overall line and detailing embody "an expansion of our renowned Kodo design philosophy" at the same time as the EV "explores new directions in design." And within the "uncompromisingly simple" form we're told to expect "a unique door concept, opening your mind." Another couplet in the press release poetry promises a "friendly expression" up front for a new segment entry embodying "futuristic values and changing lifestyles." Well then. This will be Mazda's fourth electric vehicle, but the first meant for mass production. The company built a small batch of the Mazda Demio (our Mazda2) battery electric vehicle in 2012 for the Japanese market, leasing them to government and corporate customers. The following year the automaker built a Mazda Demio EV prototype with a 330-cc rotary-powered range-extender engine. After that came the e-TPV prototype that the company's used to prove out the powertrain going into this month's show car. The urban-focused electric runner should go on sale next year in markets like Japan, China and Europe, where dense city centers negate the need for sky-high range figures; the 35.5-kWh battery is likely to return a 150-mile range at most. As foretold in the most recent teaser, the interior will deliver an airy sense of space thanks to open spaces between the driver's and passenger's seats. Zoom-Zoom will come with EV internals, too — Autocar recently drove the eTPV prototype and lauded it for being "well-planted," "original to drive" and "more like a car in the traditional sense of the word."Â
Mazda engineer wants new rotary to be turbocharged
Fri, Feb 5 2016Hope springs eternal for Mazda to revive the high-revving Wankel engine for a new sports car, and the company keeps feeding that thirst with hints that it could happen. To make the possibility even more tantalizing, Mazda drivetrain and powertrain assistant manager Tetsushi Marutani tells Motoring that he wants the updated mill to pack a turbocharger. "Personally, I think that a rotary with some turbo or compressor would be good," Marutani said to Motoring. "Because a rotary, in my opinion, they require more [torque at] low speed, low down torque. So if we have some small compressor or turbo it would help." Mazda hasn't sold a rotary-powered model since the RX-8 and hasn't had a turbocharged one since the third-generation RX-7. However, the recent RX-Vision concept (above) at least hinted at a possible Wankel revival, and Mazda officials confirmed that its engineers continued to develop the engine since the RX-8's demise. The RX-Vision used a next-gen rotary called the Skyactiv-R, but Mazda didn't officially confirm any details about it. Rumors suggested the engine had a two-rotor layout with a total displacement of 1.6 liters. A two-stage electric turbo and hybrid powertrain would allegedly boost the total output of around 450 horsepower. The electric assistance could also counter the Wankel's lack of torque at low revs and poor fuel economy. Those rumored specs sound fantastic, but we still take the rotary's return with a grain of salt. Mazda CEO Masamichi Kogai is adamant that it's not worth the company's limited resources to develop a niche sports coupe instead of better selling vehicles. Related Video:
