2006 Mazda Rx-8 Grand Touring, Manual 6-speed, No Reserve on 2040-cars
Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
If you don't know too much about cars with rotary engines, I would be happy to help out with answers (or rx8club is a great resource and has excellent guides that I used back when I was looking for an RX-8).
This is a super clean example of a dependable stock series 1 with ZERO issues! As far as options, the car has Brown/Black two tone leather, power sunroof w/shade, power/heated seat, professionally installed aux jack for your iPhone/Droid/etc, keyless entry with the 'credit card' key that fits in your wallet, and all the appearance package goodies. This car is in immaculate condition and would easily be in the "excellent" condition category on KBB. (Blue Book value $9700!) The engine is original and was last compression tested in 2010 at a dealership and passed with flying colors, and it is running perfectly today. Mazda had some issues/recalls with the RX-8 in 04 and a couple in 05, but they figured it all out by the 06 model year (This is why you'll find a bunch of 04's for sale on craigslist). It was inspected two weeks ago by a reputable mechanic and there were no issues at all. Since I got the car, the only work that needed to be done was the clutch slave cylinder was replaced (and the brake master cylinder along with it). Oil changed religiously every 2.5k miles, and I check the oil level every other time I drive to keep it between 3/4 and full. Tires have plenty of tread. The only issues are a small dent on the front bumper to the left of the Mazda emblem (pictured), and a tiny parking ding in the drivers side rear door (not pictured, didn't show up). Some rock chips on the bottom of the front bumper from highway driving. Wheels look great but have minor curb scuffing. Nothing noticeable from 5+ feet away. There are NO issues mechanically, everything works great! Previous owner a late-30s father of two. I have more pictures up on imgur, email me for a link. The car is in Boston right now, but I occasionally am making trips down to Philly (moving soon), so if you live somewhere along the northeast corridor and are flexible with timing I might be able to drop the car off to you! You are welcome to come see it in person and and any requests for specific additional photos will be responded to promptly! |

Will Mazda show the next Miata's chassis in NY?
Fri, 21 Mar 2014Mazda is being very sneaky about what it is bringing to the New York Auto Show, and it might have something to do with the next-generation MX-5 Miata. Australian website Motoring.com.au spoke to a company insider who told it that at least the chassis for the roadster would debut in Manhattan. The rumor goes that the show will act as the kickoff for the PR campaign for the new model.
We contacted Mazda USA PR Director Jeremy Barnes to find out more, and he would neither confirm nor deny the rumor. "Just because you read it on the Internet doesn't mean you should repeat it," he said to Autoblog. That's not exactly an outright, No.
Supporting evidence that the new drop top might be appearing in the Big Apple includes Mazda's plan to celebrate the model's 25th anniversary at the show. It's bringing 15 cars from the first three generations to display. "It will be absolutely worth attending the New York Auto Show if you're a Miata fan," Barnes said. That at least hints that there might be something he's not telling us. Otherwise it's a lot of sizzle without much steak.
2016 Mazda CX-5 keeps it simple
Wed, 19 Nov 2014Take a long, hard look, folks. This is the refreshed 2016 Mazda CX-5, which makes its debut at the Los Angeles Auto Show today. And if you're thinking, "Say, that looks just like the old one," you really aren't alone. The visible updates certainly aren't major - Mazda has instead focused on giving the already-good CX-5 some thoughtful upgrades to make it a more attractive package than ever.
Outside, there are some slight changes to the styling, including new LED light signatures at the front and rear, as well as redesigned foglamp housings. Uplevel models also ride on attractive new 19-inch alloy wheels, with a dark finish.
Under the hood, it's all the same. Mazda's Skyactiv 2.0- and 2.5-liter four-cylinder engines carry over, with 155 and 184 horsepower, respectively. Front-wheel-drive, 2.5-liter models get a small bump in fuel economy, too - the CUV is now rated at 26 miles per gallon city and 33 mpg highway, up from 25/32. Models equipped with the automatic transmission now benefit from different drive modes, as well.
Mazda begins building Mazda3 in Mexico for US
Tue, 07 Jan 2014With fluctuations in international currencies and rising shipping costs to take into account, foreign automakers can't get away with building cars overseas and selling them in North America as easily as they used to. Particularly with inexpensive mainstream models. And given the benefits of cheaper labor and free trade under NAFTA, many have opted to assemble their cars for the North American market in Mexico. That's why the likes of Toyota, Mercedes and BMW have all opened plants in Mexico. And now Mazda has followed suit.
Ground was initially broken for Mazda de Mexico Vehicle Operations at Salamanca in the state of Gunajuato back in 2011, but production has just now gotten under way. The first vehicle to roll off the line? A Mazda3 sedan destined for the United States. Soon, the plant will begin production of the next Mazda2 as well, selling it alongside its larger counterpart across the Americas and in Europe as production expands to 230,000 units annually.
