I apologize for the car being dirty in the pictures, I just got back from a road trip and haven't had a chance to wash it due to all the rain we have been having lately. Now about the car:


Rebuilt title. It can be hard to finance a rebuilt title car, so please do not bid unless you are paying cash or already have your financing lined up.

I bought the car after it was repaired with 19,600 miles on it. Current mileage is just under 38,000. The car hasn't given me any problems in the almost 20k miles I have driven it including long roadtrips to Arkansas, Arizona, Mississippi and Colorado.


Car runs drives and shifts good. I have always run Mobil 1 full synthetic oil and it doesn't have any leaks and hasn't given me any problems.
Tires have approx 70% treadlife left and are wearing evenly since I bought them new at about 24k miles.
Front and rear brake pads both have 80% or greater pad life left.

Mostly stock with the only mods being:

Corksport Intake/Turbo Inlet Pipe
Corksport Rear Motor Mount Insert


Issues:
-CD player doesn't work (says "check disk" when you select CD mode), Radio and AUX input work perfectly (Aux is what I use 90% of the time to play music from my ipod) so I never replaced it since I don't use the CD player function.
-Washer fluid resivour has a small leak when it is filled more than half full (system still works and sprays liquid properly, you just can't fill it all the way).
-Small cigarette burn in passanger front seat (car does not smell of smoke at all, this burn was there when I bought the car and the car has never been smoked in since I've owned it.
-As mentioned, car is a rebuilt title due to a previous front end collision.
-When I got an alignent a couple years ago, the tech did not set the steering wheel to perfect dead center (you'll only notice this on the highway when going straight the wheel is ever so slightly to the left). I didn't notice the tech didn't reset it until I had already moved from Arizona to Texas and It didn't bother me enough to get another alignment done. Car drives fine and tracks good, just needs the steering wheel adjusted.
-a few minor paint chips/dings typical of any used car, but nothing major or very noticeable (wanted to point this out as this isn't a "perfect" condition vehicle, but what used car really is?)



Bonus items:

Brand New set of iridium sparkplugs
Extra Oil Filter
Extra set of Rear Hawk Performance Brake Pads
Special Oil filter wrench socket


This has been a good reliable car inspite of the rebuilt title. I have tried to be as comprehensive as I can in describing the car and any defects it has. Car is in overall good condition, but is a used vehicle. Only selling because I upgraded to a Corvette and don't need the extra vehicle. Any questions please ask. Thank you.

Rumored Mazda CX-3 may not be for US

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

Mazda has used its Kodo design language to make some of the most attractive, affordable cars in the world right now, with the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 (pictured above), but it still lacks a crossover in the smaller class, which are becoming popular on the world market. It seems like a natural fit then, that the Japanese company would shrink its CUV design even smaller for a CX-3 to fill the gap. However, a rumor suggests that the compact might not make it to these shores.
The Mazda2-based crossover is due later this summer in Japan and is launching in Europe and emerging markets later, according to Automotive News citing a report in Japan's Nikkei newspaper. The little CUV would cost between 1.5 million yen and 2.0 million yen ($14,700-$19,500) in Japan and be available with diesel and petrol engine options. However, the report made no mention of selling it in North America. There is a glimmer of a chance for the CX-3 here. Mazda is upgrading its Mexican factory to 230,000 annual unit capacity by 2016, which gives it the room to add the new vehicle.
While the midsize CUVs are hugely popular in the US, compacts like the Buick Encore are still a small portion of things. If Mazda could time the CX-3's launch right here, it could take advantage of the lack of competition.

Wed, 30 Jul 2014



Competitors in the small-car segment didn't do nearly as well. Four vehicles earned "poor" grades.
Only one small car out of 12 tested earned a good grade in the latest round of crash-test results compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Mini Cooper Countryman received a "good" ranking on the organization's small-front overlap test.

Mazda announces live-streaming vehicle intro on Xbox

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

In April, Mazda introduced a marketing campaign titled "Game Changers" to showcase how certain people have made significant impacts in their respective sports, and now it's the Japanese automaker that is changing the game by creating an innovative way to launch a new product. Mazda is teaming up with Xbox to offer a first-of-its-kind live-streaming global debut of a new product. Mazda didn't say which model will be debuted, but our guess is that it will be the next-generation Mazda3.
The actual reveal will take place at 9 pm on June 26 during a live concert from the band Metric in New York City, but there will be other live events preceding the concert in Melbourne, St. Petersburg, Istanbul and London. Mazda will be promoting the event on social media using the hashtag #GameChanger, and there is also a contest on Xbox where one winner will receive $2,500 to attend a music event of their choice. Scroll down for the full details of the contest and vehicle debut event.
