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. |

Masamichi Kogai new Mazda president and CEO
Fri, 10 May 2013There's some executive rearranging going on in the top suite at Mazda Motor Corporation in Japan, with current CEO Takashi Yamanouchi telling reporters there "I'd like to hand over the work to younger people" now that the company has returned to profitability. Yamanouchi became CEO on November 19, 2008 of an independent Mazda that had to fight for its future in the immediate aftermath of the global financial crisis. What followed was four years of losses before finally getting back to black last year.
Masamichi Kogai (pictured) will be appointed the new president and CEO on June 25, pending approval at the company's annual general shareholders' meeting. Kogai assisted Seita Kanai with the production-efficiency initiative that Mazda called Mono Tsukuri Innovation, which worked to give export-dependent Mazda the best chance at profitability in spite of a rising yen. Kogai, lately in charge of production and purchasing, has been with the company since 1977 and worked in areas from R&D to logistics.
Kanai, who headed the Mono Tsukuri effort and was among the leadership on Skyactiv, will be promoted from executive vice president to vice chairman. Akira Marumoto will become executive VP of Mazda and assistant to new president Kogai. Yamanouchi will remain Chairman of the Board. There's a short press release below to make it official.
Mazda books first yearly profit in half-decade, NA still a drag
Tue, 30 Apr 2013Automotive News reports Mazda has posted its first annual profit in five years. The company made $364.3 million in the last fiscal year, following a $1.14 billion loss the year prior. Operating profit also jumped up by $91.3 million to $572.8 million, thanks in part to a revenue increase of 8 percent to $23.42 billion.
But the news isn't all rays of sunshine. North America continues to be a problem for Mazda where the automaker posted yet another loss. The manufacturer lost $519.1 million last year, up from $427.8 million the year prior. While the launch of the CX-5 helped see US sales increase by 2 percent to 273,000 vehicles, the region as a whole bought up 372,000 units. Mazda had predicted closer to 380,000 units.
Even so, Mazda says it should have North America back in the black by next year, with the company forecasting a sales increase of 11 percent to 415,000 units in the region. That's thanks in part to a boost from the redesigned Mazda6 sedan.
Scion FR-S pitted against oldtimers RX-8 and S2000
Tue, 07 May 2013There are very few vehicles available today that compare directly with the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins. A case could be made for the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and possibly even six-cylinder versions of American coupes like the Ford Mustang. Pretty much everything else is either too expensive or is powered by the wrong set of wheels.
The boys from EverydayDriver on YouTube decided the only fair way to judge the inherent qualities of the Toyobaru twins was to pit them against two standard-bearers of years past: The Honda S2000 and Mazda RX-8. Neither of these cars is an exact matchup, with the Honda boasting a convertible top and the RX-8 offering more practicality via a rear seat and two reverse-opening doors for easier access. What they do offer, however, are similar performance stats and proven reputations for excellent handling.
None of this talk answers the real question, though: Which one wins the comparison test? Scroll down to watch the video, and be prepared for something of a surprise conclusion.
