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. |

The Miata gives me a new perspective on the world
Wed, Dec 14 2016The Miata: making everything a new experience and turning low-beam headlights into high-beams since 1989. That's what happens when you're basically sitting on the ground, something I've become intimately familiar with when driving our long-term 2016 MX-5 Club. I am not a tall person. Far from it. In most cars I drive, I crank the seat height up close to maximum as soon as I get in. That's easy in the Miata because there's no height adjustment at all. Couple that with the facts that the seat is thin and the car barely hovers off of the pavement, and my eyes end up sitting at the height of most car's exhaust systems. That results in a lot of examining other cars' bumpers in traffic. And one day recently, it almost led to me missing my exit from Interstate 94, part of the route I take every day to work. Everything just looks different from down here – it is quite literally a different point of view from what I'm used to. And then there's the issue of night driving. When you're this low down and stuck in traffic, the headlights of cars following look extremely bright (and incredibly close). They're not, of course, you're just lower than every other driver on the road so it seems like you're staring down high-beams in the rearview mirror. I still love the Miata. It's just not the best commuter vehicle, which should come as a surprise to precisely no one. But when a hole opens up in traffic, the Miata and I are the first to fill it. I just hope the other cars see me. Related Video: Mazda Long-Term Garage Convertible Lightweight Vehicles Performance
2016 Mazda CX-9 images leak online
Tue, Nov 17 2015We will get a complete look at the next-gen Mazda CX-9 during the big debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show within the next couple of days. Until then, these newly leaked images from Carscoops provide a great preview of the upcoming three-row model ahead of the event. These shots echo the design from the recent teaser sketch quite closely, but the headlights aren't as sharply defined on the real thing. The single photo of the front end largely hides the grille, but it appears to follow the shield-like styling of the latest CX-3 and CX-5. The two images of the rear show narrow taillights like the brand's other CUVs, but with a thin strip of chrome that runs over the hatch to visually connect both sides. Bulging fenders at both axles lend some extra toughness to the shape. The CX-9 looks to continue Mazda's recent knack for great interior design. The stylists finish the dashboard in a mix of copper and black, and metallic trim helps lighten things. The infotainment system rises from the center, and comfortable looking leather seats pick up the brown in the color scheme to lend a luxurious atmosphere. The leaked photos didn't come with any technical info about the CX-9. However, rumors suggests a powertrain with a 2.5-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and all-wheel drive. More details should arrive during the crossover's imminent launch in LA.
Road & Track to take Miata on million-mile march
Sat, 11 Jan 2014Road & Track has taken on a Miata project. One hell of a project, if we're honest. You see, the Miata in question, a 1989 example in Mariner Blue, isn't a high-mileage Mazda that the publication intends to fix up, or make race-worthy, or try to flip or give away to a reader or something. No, it's a rather typical well-used NA, with a hefty 325,000 miles on the clock to-date that the staff plans on driving until the six-digit odo reads all zeros again. One million miles or bust (or both, most likely).
Procured for the bargain-basement price of $1,600, complete with seat covers that "really do look like muppet pelts" (according to Zach Bowman) and a bondo-filled love tap on the nose, the NA Miata actually looks like just the sort of fun-machine that a real driving enthusiast would pick up to get some cheap thrills in. The R&T team already has some interesting plans for the Miata, including a potential run up Pikes Peak and loaning it out to readers (or perhaps your author...).
