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. |

Mazda Hazumi Concept shows up ahead of Geneva
Tue, 25 Feb 2014Last week, Mazda officially teased its Geneva-bound Hazumi concept, showing little more than an aggressive headlamp design. But now, thanks to the magic of the Internet, another rendering of the Hazumi has appeared on the web, and, well, it's totes adorbs.
In Mazda's original release from last week, we were told that the name "Hazumi" means "spring up" or "bound" in Japanese, and is "particularly well-suited to a small car that appears to be bursting with energy." And now that we're getting a nearly full glimpse of the thing, we absolutely have to agree. The company's Kodo design language offers aggressive style in a cute little shape, and the usual raft of concept car-spec treatments (no mirrors, huge wheels, etc.) make it look even more comical and delightful.
Indeed, the Hazumi is understood to preview the next Mazda2 subcompact, and if this concept car points the way forward for Mazda's tiniest hatch, consider us totally geeked. Mazda is also set to debut its new 1.5-liter Skyactiv-D diesel engine at the Geneva Motor Show next week, and while the company hasn't confirmed if that powerplant will make its way into the next Mazda2, it sure makes sense, at least overseas. Stay tuned.
Mazda3 celebrates 10 happy years
Tue, 25 Jun 2013Mazda is on the cusp of unveiling an all-new Mazda3, but the compact will mark an important milestone before that happens. The very first Mazda3 rolled off of the assembly line on June 25, 2003. A decade later, the little car has snagged some 136 awards. The first generation sold 2.2 million units over the span of six years, and the second has smiled its way into the hearts of 1.4 million buyers since 2009. Mazda notes the machine even took the honor of being the top-selling passenger car in Australia in 2011 and 2012.
So, what will the future bring? The Japanese automaker is keeping the details to itself for the moment. From the spy photos we've seen, it looks as if the new design will fall under the company's new Kodo design philosophy. That same language brought us the perilously sexy Mazda6, and the new Mazda3 should be no less attractive. You can check out those photos here.

Mazda halts Mazda3 sales for fuel tank problem
Tue, Oct 6 2015Mazda is issuing a stop sale and recall on 14,406 examples of the 2015-2016 Mazda3 in the US with build dates between May 21, 2015, and August 24, 2015, due to a possible fuel leak. There are no reports or accidents or injuries from this problem. According to the company, a defective fuel shut-off valve can allow gasoline to move from the tank and fill the charcoal emissions canister. If it gets too full, there can be a leak, which obviously carries the risk of a possible fire. The engine might stall, as well. Affected owners will be notified to bring their Mazda3 in "as soon as possible." Dealers will inspect the vehicles, and if a problem is found, the fuel tank and charcoal emissions canister will be replaced. During the downtime, customers will get a free rental or loaner car, as well. Those who are particularly concerned can also call Mazda roadside assistance to have their vehicle delivered for the check and possible repair. Related Video: Mazda Issues Stop Sale and Stop Delivery for Mazda3 Fuel Tank Recall WASHINGTON, DC (October 2, 2015) – Mazda Motor Corporation will conduct a Safety and Emission Recall Campaign for certain 2015-2016 Mazda3 vehicles (built from May 21, 2015 through August 24, 2015), which could have a safety-related problem. A defect in the fuel shut-off valve may allow fuel to flow from the fuel tank into the charcoal emissions canister. With this condition, the check engine light may illuminate, and if the fuel exceeds the canister capacity, fuel leakage could occur, increasing the risk of a fire and/or engine stalling. Approximately 14,270 vehicles in the U.S. and 136 vehicles in Puerto Rico are affected. Owners of subject vehicles will be notified by mail in early October. They will be informed to bring their vehicle to the nearest Mazda dealer as soon as possible. Dealers will inspect the fuel tank to determine if the defect exists on the vehicle. If the defect exists, the dealer will replace the fuel tank and charcoal canister at no cost to the customer. A rental or loaner vehicle will be provided at no cost to the owner, until the vehicle is repaired for this concern. If there are no concerns, the vehicle will be returned to the customer. Should a customer not want to drive the vehicle to the dealership, they may contact Mazda's 24-hour Roadside Assistance service at 800-866-1998 and have the vehicle picked up and delivered to the dealership. There have been no reports of accidents or injury related to this issue.
