Moving out of the country for an year or so and want to sell my 2011 Mazda 3S GT

I could list the features, but this link does a better job:

My favorite parts of this car are:
1. No breakdown or any kind of mechanical problems
2. Brilliant interiors. Especially love the speakers, leather seats, seat warmers and the sun roof. I regularly use the bluetooth feature to take calls on the road and listen to music off my phone
3. Love the color. The shiny black looks great. If you are like me, you will wash it often. The look of this car after a good wash is pretty special
4. Great power and comfort for the price.This is no BMW 3 series, but it packs a punch for the price point. I have had many roadtrips with this car and have had no problems at all. You need to test drive to believe it.

Here are some facts about my car :
1. Purchased January 2011
2. 34997 miles as of 11/23/2013
3. 2 cosmetic problems. Scratch on the back left of the car. Crack on the front bumper (to the right). Pictures of both are attached. I wanted to fix these before selling.. but these are cosmetic issues and I rather pass on the savings to the new owner. If needed, I can get it fixed for you (for extra price, of course).
4. Single owner. Have documents to prove it
5. Regularly serviced. All services at 1 location (Fitz auto mall in Rockville, MD)
6. No accidents (there are scratches)
7. New tires at 29K miles

Note: Autocheck reports 2 owners. That is a mistake. I moved from Maryland to Virginia and had to change the plates. For some inexplicable reason, this is noted as a change in owner (maybe because I have a long name and one of the states mis-spelled it. I am only guessing).

I did not want to go over the hassle of selling online and wanted to sell it to a dealer. But realized they pretty much rip me off :). They pay 2-3K less than market price, do $500 of work on the car and sell it 1K above market price, which is neither beneficial to me or the new owner.

Mazda3 to showcase CNG, Hybrid versions in Tokyo

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Mazda has made huge gains in its competitive set with the introduction of its Skyactiv technologies, and the Japanese automaker appears to have no plans on slowing down. While we're still waiting for the Mazda6 Skyactiv-D diesel to go on sale in the US, Mazda announced that it will debut new Skyactiv-Hybrid and Skyactiv-CNG versions of the Mazda3 (standard US-spec model shown above) at next month's Tokyo Motor Show.
Matching up with what we heard earlier in the summer, the Mazda3 Skyactiv-Hybrid is intended for Japan only, but there are no details about this system regarding fuel economy, electric components or specs. Likewise, there are no details for the Mazda3 Skyactiv-CNG Concept, which is a bi-fuel version of the car running on both gasoline and compressed natural gas. As this car's name suggests, the CNG model is a concept vehicle, and there is no indication that Mazda plans offering such a model here in the US.
In addition to these two vehicles, Mazda will also have an Atenza (Mazda6) on display showing off some vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) safety systems, called the ASV-5 (Advanced Safety Vehicle). Scroll down for Mazda's official press release.

California adapts ZEV mandate with PHEVs for smaller automakers

Fri, Jun 5 2015

California is the nation's largest market for zero-emissions vehicles with over 100,000 of them estimated to be on the roads there. The state's goal is to keep that number growing every year. To that end, the California Air Resources Board is now tweaking its rules in a way that might not boost ZEVs but could mean more plug-in hybrids for the Golden State. Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Volvo asked for an exemption to the state's zero-emissions vehicle mandate last year due to their relatively small development budgets compared to larger automakers. CARB denied their request but did craft a compromise, according to Automotive News. Rather than being required to offer a ZEV in the state, companies with an annual global revenue of less than $40 billion, like those in this group, may instead sell plug-in hybrids to earn ZEV credits. The companies aren't completely off the hook, though. If these plug-in hybrids don't earn enough credits, the corporations must buy them on the market to make up the difference. Automakers with popular electric models like Nissan and Tesla have made a big business through this trading system by selling their surplus to rivals. Tesla alone pocketed $51 million in the first quarter from this part of its business, according to Automotive News. The changes to the regulations also aren't set in stone, yet. CARB is meeting in 2016 and could adjust things further at that time.

Mazda Hazumi Concept previews next Mazda2 in Geneva [w/videos]

Tue, 04 Mar 2014

The official photos of Mazda's Hazumi concept leaked out yesterday, but we have finally gotten to see it in real life at the Geneva Motor Show. Our view is that its Kodo lines looks as good on the diminutive car's sheet metal as they did in photos.
The Hazumi was designed to appear to be bursting with energy, and it seems to deliver. While Mazda refuses to actually say that this is the concept for the next Mazda2, it makes it clear that the little hatchback is "foreshadowing Mazda's next-generation subcompact car." We can all read between the lines.
Hazumi also introduces the new Skyactiv-D 1.5-liter diesel engine but details about it are scant at the moment. The specs for the engine are still unannounced, but the company promises that it is both very efficient and has lots of torque for its size. Mazda is also promising that its Mazda Connect infotainment system will be available in the car too. Scroll down for the brief press release a brace of videos that celebrate the tiny concept's arrival.
