Inherited this car from my mother. It literally was driven by a little old lady on a short commute to work...that's why the mileage is so low. This car was never raced and is very, very reliable. She babied it: all scheduled maintenance performed by the dealer, regular oil changes. The car is still in excellent condition. If you're familiar with the Mazda 3, it's known for it's combination of excellent mechanical ratings and a sporty, economical 4 cylinder engine with 160 HP. When I drove it back from my mother's house, the car got 30 MPG on the highway. Drives great. Automatic transmission is also excellent for a beginning driver. Really worry free.

I'm selling because we inherited the car and we already have 4 other vehicles. It's just been sitting in our garage the past month and we need the garage space. The only thing this car needs to be PERFECT is a new set of brake pads. The current set has recently started squeaking...no grinding, just squeaking.

The only minor thing that ever happened to this car was it was involved in a minor fender bender back in 2010. The rear hatch was dented so it was replaced.

Blue book on this car is ~$6800. The reserve is much less because we need the garage space. Email me with questions.

Please keep in mind, this car is also being advertised in the local paper so I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells locally. The car is located in Knoxville, TN and can be driven anywhere in the US. If you plan on shipping this car, all shipping fees must be paid by the buyer. The buyer is responsible for contracting with arranging pickup with a shipper. I can be here to watch it being loaded onto the shipper's trailer.

Watch this 1,500-hp Mazda MX-5 smoke a race track

Wed, Dec 23 2015

In December 2014 we watched New Zealand drifter "Mad Mike" Whiddett assemble his RADBUL, an NC-series Mazda MX-5 Miata with a four-rotor engine aided by twin Garrett turbochargers. The Dr. Frankensteins at engine builders Pulse Performance expected their creation to be good for 1,500 horsepower. This year we get to watch Whiddett run the monster around Highlands Motorsports Park in New Zealand, brewing up enough tire smoke to set of fire alarms in the International Space Station. When the car was finished in February Pulse Performance put it on the dyno, toning down the boost because "the tires easily smoked the rollers." The result on the day was 1,032 horsepower from the 2.6-liter engine. When Whiddett campaigned it at the Forth Worth, TX round of this year's Formula Drift Pro Championship, he said tiny adjustments have a huge effect on the way the car behaves so they were still trying to find the right balance a few months into the season because of the testing limit outside of competition. Unsurprisingly, he also said the car "is so damn fast that I'm actually having trouble slowing down." RADBUL is the third in Whiddett's line of Mazda drift specials, after the RX-8 BADBUL and the RX-7 MADBUL. Check out the video above for the ballet, and for more, check out the behind-the-scenes and the 360-degree POV videos.
