2010 Mazda Rx-8 R3 Coupe 4-door 1.3l on 2040-cars
Everett, Washington, United States
|
One smoke free owner, not modified in any way, and well taken care of. For those not familiar with the R3 version, it only came with a 6 speed manual, and no real options. It is the "race" edition if you will that Mazda made for a
couple of years only. Limited slip differential, sleek side sill extensions and rear wing spoiler, aggressively sculpted front end, Special 19" forged alloy wheels, special colors, high performance suspension with special Bilstein shocks, special high bolstered Recaro front bucket seats with leather and mesh, Bose 9 speaker center-point surround sound stereo system, key-less entry and start system, hands-free Bluetooth, Xenon headlights, fog lights, 6 CD changer, door edge guards. I don't know this for sure, but the R3 may also have a different exhaust system than the standard RX-8 as it had a meatier sound to me than most other RX-8s I hear.
Yokohama 560 treadwear tires with about 15k miles on them. Still plenty of tread left. The only service performed besides oil changes every 5K miles was having the dealer replace a bad TPMS sensor about 4k miles ago. No other issues. Comes with a car cover. CarFax is available on request. It was in an accident when it was a year old and it was pretty much what I would call cosmetic damage (no structural or frame damage), but the prices of parts nowadays is outrageous! They replaced the hood (minimal damage to one corner but it is aluminum and was replaced), front bumper cover, right fender (less damage than the hood, but slightly bowed and it did not fit flush anymore), right headlight (broken), right fog light (broken), and right oil cooler (mounting bracket bent). I drove the car home with no issues, the only car able to drive away from the 3 car accident. Total repair bill was $9500 with $5,800 of that in parts. I am not trying to hide anything, I want to be very transparent. It doesn't benefit me to hide anything. Everything works perfectly and the car has no issues. Drives great! See the window sticker picture for a complete list of standard features and options. There is a lienholder on this car, as I still owe on it. As on 12/1/13, NADA Clean retail is at $18,950, Edmunds says $19,157. I am asking $19,000. I love this car and it is a blast to drive and it gets so many comments because of it's color (especially at night), sexy looks, and unique sound. I am selling as I want something that is more practical. I am also listing this car locally and reserve the right to end this auction early. |

Mazda2 successor to ride atop shortened CX-5 platform
Fri, 31 May 2013Mazda, looking to make the most of its new, lightweight Skyactiv vehicle architecture, will allegedly use a version of the CX-5 crossover's platform to underpin its next-generation Mazda2 hatchback, according to a report from Just-Auto.com. Of course, the Mazda2 is a much smaller vehicle than its larger CUV stablemate, so some serious chopping will no doubt be in order when it comes time to engineer the replacement for the company's smallest hatch.
Currently, the CX-5 and the sleek new Mazda6 share many of the same platform components, and this architecture will already be scaled down to support the next-generation Mazda3 sedan and hatchback, which will debut later this year. Just-Auto.com states that all of Mazda's remaining front-wheel-drive vehicles will eventually switch to reworked versions of this Skyactiv platform, including the replacement for the larger CX-9 crossover.
Also of note, Mazda will reportedly be switching to shorter, four-year lifecycles for its vehicles. This means that the newly launched Mazda6 will be replaced for the 2016 calendar year, with a refresh coming sometime in 2014. That said, vehicles with platforms supplied by other automakers (like the upcoming MX-5 Miata replacement that will share its underpinnings with an Alfa Romeo product) will not necessarily follow this four-year rule.
Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow
Wed, Mar 16 2016Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
Mazda recalling 88k vehicles for ECU glitch
Fri, 04 Apr 2014Need a break from news about the General Motors ignition switch recall? This Mazda recall should serve as a nice change of pace. It involves 88,000 cars across the globe, and focuses on the brand's three most recent (and important) models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5.
The issue rests with Mazda's new i-ELOOP regenerative braking system. Apparently there's a problem with the ECU program that monitors whether a capacitor in the regen system is working. Acceleration is affected, and in severe cases, the engine could stall. There have been no mention of accidents or injuries due to the issue, and the glitch itself can be cured by an ECU reflash.
As i-ELOOP is a fairly new system for Mazda, particularly in the US, the total number of affected models is rather low, with just 6,500 US cars affected. Europe is hit hardest, with 38,000 models while Mazda's home market of Japan adds 27,600 cars and crossovers. Affected models were built between October 2012 and January 2014.
