2003 Mazda Protege.  It is a 4 cylinder 2.0 engine.  It has a 5 speed transmission.  It is 4 door.  It has low miles with 87,690 miles on it.  It has a sunroof that works well, with a vent visor on it.  It has an am/fm CD stereo with 1,000 watt amp & boom box:  Sounds pretty awesome!  New tires.  Front end has been aligned.  It has had a fresh oil change, new oil filter, new spark plugs.  Superb gas mileage!!  This car runs solid, strong with lots of power.  The exterior is black & has the paint "peeling" off the back trunk lid & back bumper (please see pics as it shows up like some faded white).  Interior is in excellent shape, clean, no rips, tears or stains.  The air works great but on the selector it doesn't seem to want to work when it is on 2 & 4.  The heat works fine.  The cruise control does not work.  Power windows & power locks work fine.  It has keyless entry. 

We bought this car a few years ago used.  It has never broke down or had any issues.  It has lots of power, clutch is great & runs solid.  We are not aware of any issues with the car currently.  It does need a good wash & wax & some light vacuuming & light wipe down of the inside of the car where it has not been used very much & has collected some dust.  We are selling several vehicles that we don't need in order to pay off bills & buy us a new truck (me mostly just drive our lincoln towncar & our business trucks).  Of all my extra cars, we drove this one the most due to the excellent gas mileage.  Selling the vehicle "as is" so please ask any questions before bidding.

Winner bidder must contact us within 24 hours to make arrangements for pick up.  Pick up must be completed within 7 days of auction end.  We do not accept checks or pay pal.  Winner must pay the full amount in cash at time of pickup or before delivery or shipping.  We also will accept a bank transfer that involves both our banks being in contact with each other.  We can bring the vehicle you on a rollback for a fee or we will cooperate if you need it shipped.  We are located in Kingsport, TN.  If you have any questions at all, please feel free to call me, Harold, at 423-416-4165.  Please do not ask what the reserve is.  We own our own towing business (Hillbilly Towing in Kingsport, TN) for over 19 years & we serve our county, city & state police departments.  We add this in hopes that it helps the buyer feel more secure about the transaction.  This is our personal vehicle that we personally bought years back.  Thank you & happy bidding!

Mazda builds 4-millionth Mazda3

Tue, 25 Feb 2014

To say that the Mazda3 is a vital product for Mazda would be one heck of an understatement. In fact, the model line accounts for about 30 percent of the manufacturer's sales. Fortunately for Mazda, they're selling well.
These days, the Japanese automaker is building the Mazda3 (known domestically as the Axela) in Japan, China, Thailand and, as of last month, in Mexico. The company's expanded global production capacity has helped Mazda reach four million units of the Mazda3 sold around the world since the first model was introduced over ten and a half years ago.
Over the course of that decade since its introduction in June 2003, Mazda has gone through three generations of Mazda3, the newest model benefiting from the company's Skyactiv technology and even encompassing a hybrid model in the Japanese Domestic Market.

Automotive Grade Linux will be the backbone of your connected car

Fri, Jan 6 2017

Creating a backend for a secure, reliable, and expandable infotainment system is costly and time consuming. The Linux Foundation, a non-profit organization, has set out to promote and advance the Linux operating system in commercial products. Automotive Grade Linux, or AGL, is a group within the Foundation that seeks to apply a Linux backend to a number of automotive applications in a variety of vehicles from various suppliers and manufacturers. AGL's goal is to create a common, unifying framework that allows developers and manufacturers to easily implement applications across platforms. Currently, the focus is on infotainment systems, but AGL has plans for instrument clusters, heads-up displays, and eventually active safety software. At CES, a display from Panasonic showed a completely digital and customizable dashboard that allows information and apps to be moved from the gauge cluster to the infotainment screen and back, all through the use of gesture and touch controls. Although the organization has been around for five years, it's really only been in the past three that the group has been working hand in hand with automakers and suppliers. The first two OEMs to participate, Toyota and Jaguar Land Rover, have since been joined by Mazda, Suzuki, Ford, and, as of this week, Daimler. The latter is important as until now most of AGL's partner's have been based in Japan or the US. Other partners include suppliers Denso, Renesas, Continental, Qualcomm, and Intel. AGL want's to supply roughly 80 percent of the backend, allowing partners to then finish and refine the Linux system for each individual application. Think of how the Android operating system is refined and customized for individual smartphones from Samsung, LG, and Motorola. While the final product looks different, developers can have an application that will work across all AGL systems. Because it is open source, anyone can use and develop for AGL. You can even go onto the group's website and download a copy right now. There is also a software development kit available that helps facilitate app creation on the platform. Vehicle development cycles take roughly five years, so there currently are no cars that run an AGL backbone available for consumers. AGL Executive Director Dan Cauchy says products should be hitting the market later this year, with even more coming in 2018. Right now, the industry is relatively fragmented when it comes to infotainment and related systems.

Mazda MX-5 breeds upgraded Roadster RS in Japan

Mon, Oct 5 2015

Fans of the new Mazda MX-5 Miata looking for something a little more performance-focused may be enticed by the new RS model. Unfortunately they'll have to go all the way to Japan to get it. Because Mazda will only be offering this particular version back home. The new RS version of the Mazda Roadster (as it's known in Japan) features a number of performance upgrades, although none of them specifically affect the engine or its output. The Roadster RS features Bilstein dampers and front suspension tower brace for better handling, along with bigger brakes for added stopping power, a retuned steering rack for sharper turn-in, and upgraded exhaust for a better sound. Inside it's also been treated to heated Recaro seats with Nappa leather and Alcantara trim and a nine-speaker Bose audio system. It also comes equipped with adaptive front lighting and high-beam control as well as lane-departure and blind-spot warning systems. Feeling left out yet? Don't be too disappointed, or book that ticket to Tokyo's Natita International Airport just yet. The Mazda Roadster RS only comes with the smaller 1.5-liter engine that produces 129 horsepower, which is significantly less than the 2.0L we get here at 155 hp. It does, however, come with the six-speed manual instead of the automatic. So while this may not be the most powerful version of the Miata, it may be the enthusiast favorite – at least in the JDM.
