I've had this RX-8 up for sale once before but I backed out of the sale because I just couldn't give up the car. The little RX-8's are just that good! This time around, I've saved up a bit more for a new(er) car and I can finally see myself parting with it. Lucky for all you guys! So, let's get to the part you care about:
I have every record from when he owned the car, dating back to the window sticker and information pamphlet on the RX-8. Both of us changed the oil like clockwork every 2,500 miles and have the receipts to back it up! The car has never been tracked or abused in its lifetime although it has gotten an Italian tuneup running through mountain roads. As all rotary enthusiasts know, Italian tuneups are the best way to keep an RX of any kind in tip top condition. Without getting the RPM's up near red line every so often, carbon builds up and can severely damage the engine. The first engine in the car was a little less than perfect from the factory and was replaced by Mazda under warranty at 70k miles. It was late enough in the life cycle of the RX-8 to get a R2 engine making it much more robust. The engine itself now has only 26k miles on it! It's barely broken in! In addition to the near new engine, I have taken the time to fix up the weak links in the RX-8's design. The coils were always a particularly weak point of the car and so have been replaced by Black Halo Racing's (they're an all rotary race and engineering team) coil upgrade kit. Normally, coil replacement is a fairly regular part of RX-8 ownership and expensive! But with these coils, they should last the life of the car. Also to be noted is the car had its first clutch replacement at 94k. This should tell you just how well this car has been cared for. Normal for an RX-8 according to Mazda is between 40-60k depending on driving habits. Please note, I am usually busy with work or other obligations. Email or text is by far the best way to contact me. I will make every effort to answer calls but if I can't, please do leave a message and I will call you back within a few hours. A full list of upgrades and notable features are below:
So, what's wrong with it? Aside from being impractical for me at this time, there are a few minor problems I will point out: The steering wheel shows some signs of wear on the left side. You can probably see it in the pictures. A Cadillac Escalade hit a deer, propelling it over the highway barrier and into the driver's side fender. It left a small dent, USAA replaced the entire panel. If there's a VIN report on it (guessing there is) that's the reason for it. I have pictures of the damage, it wasn't much but it sure made me mad :D Ding in the passenger side suicide door from a jerk opening a door into it in a parking lot Small scuff on the rear bumper, once again, someone in a parking lot I never caught. You may be able to see them in the pictures. They're hard to see unless you're looking for it. Also, the right rear TPMS sensor is on the way out. On occasion, the TPMS will warn the driver that one unit is failing. It's intermittent and I check my own pressures regularly so I never saw a reason to change it out. Aside from that, the car runs brilliantly, cranking almost instantly with the latest software updates from Mazda! And as always, any questions you have, don't hesitate to ask! |

Mazda announces live-streaming vehicle intro on Xbox
Wed, 19 Jun 2013In April, Mazda introduced a marketing campaign titled "Game Changers" to showcase how certain people have made significant impacts in their respective sports, and now it's the Japanese automaker that is changing the game by creating an innovative way to launch a new product. Mazda is teaming up with Xbox to offer a first-of-its-kind live-streaming global debut of a new product. Mazda didn't say which model will be debuted, but our guess is that it will be the next-generation Mazda3.
The actual reveal will take place at 9 pm on June 26 during a live concert from the band Metric in New York City, but there will be other live events preceding the concert in Melbourne, St. Petersburg, Istanbul and London. Mazda will be promoting the event on social media using the hashtag #GameChanger, and there is also a contest on Xbox where one winner will receive $2,500 to attend a music event of their choice. Scroll down for the full details of the contest and vehicle debut event.
Mazda starts production of new MX-5 Miata in Japan
Thu, Mar 5 2015We often regard a new model as having arrived when its manufacturer reveals it for the first time. But you might argue that nothing is official until actual production gets underway. And that's just what's happened now with the new Mazda MX-5. The fourth-generation Miata was unveiled a few months ago, and now the first examples have begun to roll off the assembly line at Mazda's Ujina plant in Hiroshima. The first ones are set to stay in Japan, where the new roadster is being introduced initially. Deliveries are set to launch in June. After that, we can expect the new MX-5 to proliferate to markets around the world, including our own. To date Mazda has sold more than 950,000 of its little roadsters, making it the best-selling two-seat sports car in the world. It shouldn't be long, then, before the new model tips it past the million-unit mark. 2015/03/05 Mazda Starts Production of All-new Mazda MX-5 HIROSHIMA, Japan-Mazda Motor Corporation today began production of the all-new Mazda MX-5 two-seater lightweight sports car (known as Mazda Roadster in Japan) at Ujina Plant No.1 in Hiroshima. The first models produced are destined for the Japanese market. Sales of the all-new MX-5 will begin in Japan around June this year and interested buyers can make an appointment for pre-sale discussions through a dedicated website from noon on Friday, March 20. Following sales start in Japan, the MX-5 will be progressively rolled out to overseas markets. The MX-5 is an iconic model representing Mazda's vehicle engineering philosophy: the pursuit of driving pleasure. With production exceeding 950,000 units as of the end of January 2015, the MX-5 continues to hold the Guinness World Record for the world's best-selling two-seater sports car. In order to respond to ever increasing demands for safety features and environmental performance while maintaining the element of fun that has always defined the model, development of the fourth generation MX-5 was carried out under the motto "innovate in order to preserve". In addition to incorporating SKYACTIV TECHNOLOGY and KODO-Soul of Motion design, development focused on enhancing the senses and sensations through which people enjoy cars. Moving forward, Mazda will continue to enrich the lives of its customers through a variety of touch points including the production of high-quality vehicles, and become a brand that maintains a special bond with its customers.
