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.

Sorry, rotary fans, Mazda's RX Vision probably won't happen

Tue, May 24 2016

Mazda is doing a lot of things the right way in this age of beige-ness. It just crammed a turbocharged inline-four into the improved CX-9, a bold move unto itself, and one that should also be heartening for Mazdaspeed fans. Wouldn't that engine make for a swell Mazdaspeed3 or Mazdaspeed6? There's a reasonable ray of hope there, but not necessarily a guarantee. The RX Vision, though, is a pipe dream. Mazda is smart to keep the rotary dream alive. It's smart to keep developing it in back rooms and to keep the idea on the public's mind. Credit where credit's due: Mazda has solved some of the stickiest issues the rotary engine has, through savvy engineering and perseverance. We've seen promising patent filings for the Skyactiv-R engine, which is supposed to be found in the RX Vision concept. Mazda uses every opportunity to remind us that development is continuing and that the company would love to bring a rotary-powered sportscar to production. I believe it. But the RX Vision is just a design study. And there are some harsh realities about rotary engine emissions and fuel economy standards that are difficult for modern piston engines to achieve without expensive componentry. Emissions and fuel economy are both bugbears of the rotary, in case you've forgotten. And that explains Mazda's interest in running rotaries on hydrogen, but down that road lie infrastructure challenges as daunting as making a gasoline-powered rotary burn as clean as one of Mazda's Skyactiv piston engines. All this is meant to put Mazda's recent comments to Top Gear in context. Mazda's design director, Kevin Rice, spoke to TG at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa D'Este, and was waving Mazda's rotary flag quite enthusiastically. "In the back rooms at Mazda, we're still developing it," Rice said, "and when the world's ready to buy another rotary, we'll be ready to provide it." I'd like that to be a comforting statement, but given the realities of fuel economy and emissions regulations and Mazda's position in the market, it seems like a hollow platitude. "When the world's ready" is just another way of saying "when we solve the fundamental issues with this engine layout, and there's an unambiguous market study that shows we can build these cars and make a profit, we'll consider it." That seems like a lot of "ifs". Perhaps Mazda does have a clean-burning, efficient, cheap-to-produce rotary running on an engine dyno in Hiroshima, and it's prepping an RX-9 for the next auto show.

2016 Mazda6 gets a facelift in LA

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show is a busy one for Mazda, as the Japanese brand shows off not only its all-new CX-3, but a facelifted Mazda6 sedan.
The 2016 sedan has been nipped and tucked to better fit in with newer members of the brand's range, including the aforementioned CX-3, as well as the Mazda3 and MX-5 Miata.
The grille's horizontal slats are now trimmed in chrome, while the brand's chrome wing motif on the fascia is larger and more prominent, particularly where it feeds into the headlights.
