You are bidding on a 2006 MazdaSpeed 6 AWD. The car has 101k miles and it's a rare find! The MazdaSpeed 6 was only in production for 2 years (2006 & 2007). The MazdaSpeed 6 is known as the fastest-accelarating and most-advanced sports sedan that Mazda has ever built. The 2.3L Inline 4 Turbo engine produces 274 horsepower and goes 0-60 in about 6 seconds. The way this car handles, makes for a great combination of sport & comfort. The car is very reliable and drives great. As you can see, it does have a rebuilt title meaning it passed necessary inspections in order to be eligible for registration. I have posted the original picture of how the car looked when I first got it, before inspections. EXTERIOR CONDITION Overall the exterior looks very nice. The color is shiny! The black hood and rear spoiler are done with Plasti Dip paint which peals right off without leaving any residue in case you don't like the look. The wheels on the car are 18" in okay condition and they are aftermarket. I will include the original wheels which are in nice shape, however need new tires. There are a few exterior imperfections: The front bumper has a small tear on the bottom right in the middle. There is a small ding on the driver's side door (tiny; looks like a rock chip). There was some rust starting to form on the bottom of both of the rear doors. I cleaned this up and I sealed it with POR-15 which is supposed to stop rust. At the same time, I did the undercarriage of the car which was rust free. I decided to do this as a precaution as I was planning to drive the car during winter as well. Also, there is a scratch on the rear bumper on the driver's side. There is also a crack in the lower part of the front windshield (if the car sells for over 6k, I will include a replacement windshield that just needs to be installed). INTERIOR CONDITION The interior is in great condition as you can see from the pictures. Everything works as it should; the radio is 10x better than in my Subaru STI. Some minor issues: One of the illuminating lightbulbs on the heater switch is out. There is some glue left over on the dashboard which I could not remove. It seems like it was leftover from what I'm assuming was a GPS. There is a tear in the rear leather seats, however as you can see in the pictures, I have already purchased and am including the new bottom cushion seat that is in perfect condition. MECHANICAL CONDITION The car runs smoothly; the engine runs strong. The turbo spools up nicely; it doesn't burn oil. The turbo was changed under warranty when the car was under 30k miles. It's all stock except for the cold air intake. I replaced the transmission oil, transfer case oil, & differential oil about 5k miles ago. The engine oil was replaced 1k miles ago. All fluids used were synthetic. I also replaced the rear shocks. One item that needs attention is when I was replacing the shocks, I noticed that the rear sway bar end links need to be replaced soon. When you go over sharp bumps, they started to rattle after the shocks were replaced since the car is stiffer now. This is a quick $50 fix and probably half an hour of work. PAYMENT & SHIPPING The vehicle is being sold in AS-IS condition with no warranty. The BUYER is responsible for pick up or shipping of the vehicle. Payment is due upon pick up. Cash, Wire Transfer, or Certified Cashier's Check only! Please note that funds will need to be verified prior to the release of the vehicle. |

'Ringbanana' Miata is improbable 9-minute Nurburgring car
Wed, Aug 12 2015The combination of being inexpensive, capable, reliable, and friendly to all skill levels makes the Mazda Miata one of the world's most popular platforms for motorsports, but the roadsters aren't exactly rocketships. What would it take to lap a ratty, first-gen example around the Nurburgring Nordschleife in less than nine minutes? We're not exactly sure, but the Ringbanana team intends to discover the answer. The project is the type of thing that gets dreamed up after a few too many pilsners: buy the cheapest running Miata available and put as little money necessary into the roadster to make it capable around the 'Ring. As the Best-Motoring-inspired intro explains, the Mazda is largely stock other than some Fulda performance tires, possibly aftermarket springs, and a stripped interior. The video above shows the baseline test, and the convertible manages a 9:21.8 circuit, which doesn't seem too bad as a start. The video below goes into far more detail about the project's genesis and its goal. Plus, the two hosts are quite entertaining when replying to the comments from the original clip. We wish them the best of luck and look forward to following along on Facebook to see what it takes to get the Ringbanana below nine minutes. This content is hosted by a third party.

Best and worst car brands of 2022 according to Consumer Reports
Thu, Feb 17 2022It's that time again, Consumer Reports this morning lifting the curtain on its 2022 Annual Car Brand rankings and its 10 Top Picks in the car, crossover, and truck category. Drumroll, please: This year, Subaru climbs two spots to claim the winner's circle, having come third the last two years. Last year, Mazda climbed three spots from 2020 to take the crown. This year, Mazda slipped to second, BMW taking the last spot on the podium, also a one-spot drop from 2021. Six automakers in the top 10 hailed from Japan, which is one more than last year, and five luxury makers occupied the top 10, which is two more than last year. And South Korean representation didn't crack the top this year, after Hyundai managed tenth last year. The seven makes after BMW are: Honda, Lexus, Audi, Porsche, Mini, Toyota, and Infiniti. The magazine and testing concern says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CR’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." The domestics also took steps back among the 32 OEMs ranked on the 2022 card. Chrysler and Buick were the domestic carmakers who made last year's top 10 in eighth and ninth, respectively. This year, Buick dropped to eleventh, Chrysler to thirteenth. Dodge went from fourteenth to sixteenth. CR continues to ding Tesla's yoke steerer, the not-exactly-natural handhold responsible for the electric carmaker going from sixteenth last year to twenty-third this year.
Takashi Yamanouchi to retire as Mazda chairman
Mon, 12 May 2014Takashi Yamanouchi has been with Mazda for a long time. He signed on with the Japanese automaker in April 1967 - one month after graduating from Keio University - and rose through the ranks over the years. By 1996 he was named to the company's board of directors. In 2008 he was named president and CEO, an office he held until 2013, after which he handed over the day-to-day reins to Masamichi Kogai and took up the seat at the head of the board room to serve as the company's chairman. But now, after 47 years working for Mazda, Yamanouchi-san is retiring at the age of 69.
During his tenure as CEO and then as chairman, Yamanouchi was credited with growing Mazda's business despite unfavorable fluctuations in exchange rates, opening the company's first plant in Mexico, and spearheading the development of Mazda's Skyactiv technologies and Kodo design language.
In his place, current vice chairman Seita Kanai will take over as chairman. The changing of the guard will take place after the annual shareholders' meeting on June 24.
