2004 Mazda RX-8 with 119,200 miles. 6 speed manual transmission. The color is Brilliant Black, with black leather interior and carpet.  The car is sitting on 18" American Racing "Casino" wheels. They have gloss black/polished finish. The rims and tires are only about 6 months old. About 3500 miles on them. Has power sliding sunroof, factory alarm with key fob that locks/unlocks doors as well as pops the trunk.  Factory CD player with Bose speakers.  The CD player and speakers really aren't worth bragging about. I had intended to replace with aftermarket but it was going to be too expensive to do so, and I decided to buy new rims and tires rather than waste the money on a stereo.  
I can send additional pictures to you personally if needed. just contact me with your phone number or email address. 
I purchased this car in 2010 and knew nothing about Mazda's or rotary engines. I soon found out they are a little different than american sports cars. The mazda rx8 runs on premium fuel. If you use regular unleaded the car will not run very good, will most likely stall and possibly cause internal engine damage. So that is a definite no no.  Another important thing is to check the oil level with each fuel purchase, or at least once every two weeks.  I use Castrol GTX 5w-30 for high mileage every 3000 miles. 

The early model RX-8's had several minor problems from the factory, there were quite a few recalls out for various things. Many had to have the engine replaced. Mine does not have the low compression problem. It runs very  good. No lack of power. And as far as I know it is the original engine.  OF the recalls and common problems I am aware of the only ones this car was affected by are the faulty coolant level sensor in the coolant reservoir.  The float in the tank absorbed coolant and sank rather than float. So when you had the proper amount of coolant it would still read low coolant. I simply unplugged the sensor rather than replace the faulty tank.  My reason for doing this is that the car does not overheat or leak coolant so I have no reason to worry about the coolant level sensor. Also I stay on top of the fluid levels in my cars and don't need a computer to tell me when to check things. The only other known problem is with the RX-8 factory stereos. They are notorious for having buttons that stop working. The screen also does some crazy things sometimes. The radio and cd player work just fine, never had a problem. But the button to set the clock doesn't seem to work and every so often the screen where the time and radio station are displayed will blink/flash rapidly.  I have only seen it do this 3 times since I have owned the car. Like I said earlier, the factory stereo is nothing to brag about, It should be replaced with a real stereo and some good speakers anyways. I just didn't want to do it because at the time the adapter needed for aftermarket stereos in the RX-8 was nearly $200.00 by itself. 

As for the condition and history of this car, I purchased it in 2010. I ran an autocheck report on it prior to buying and found out that it had been a lease vehicle for most of its life with no accidents on the history. It was then sold at auction and ended up being owned by an individual.  This individual hit a curb which bent a rim tore the plastic under the fender well and caused the driver's side curtain airbag to deploy. There was no major damage to the car. I bought it in this condition I repaired the headliner where it was pushed out from the airbag, and I bought a set of used factory RX-8 wheels to use temporarily. A few months later I ordered a brand new set of 18" American Racing wheels and purchase new tires as well as had a front wheel alignment done.   This is my girlfriend's daily driver and thanks to the drive-thru's at What a burger and Jack n the Box two of the new rims have some scratches on them. They are still good looking wheels.  There is a spot a couple inches long on the driver's side of rear bumper where someone rubbed it in a parking lot. Their insurance paid $500 which wasn't enough to cover a new bumper so I used it to purchase the new tires and left the scratch.  About 6 months ago a teenager changed lanes without looking and bumped the passenger side rear quarter panel. It made a small dent and scuffed up the paint. No major damage. It was repaired with lifetime warranty on paint work.  These are the only "accidents" or types of damage that I am aware of.  Neither of which caused enough damage to be considered and accident by insurance standards.
The current autocheck report shows no accidents, but does state that the car had 155,xxx miles when it was last inspected in March 2013. This is not accurate. The car had 115,xxx miles. The mileage has not been altered in anyway. This is an entry mistake on behalf of the person that did the emission testing. He was in a hurry, because I had brought the car in several times while trying to figure out which sensor was causing the engine light to come on and cause the fail. 
I live in Joshua, TX and can not ship the vehicle. You must make arrangements to inspect, or test drive the car and pick it up upon sale. I may be willing to meet in surrounding cities. IF you have any questions feel free to contact me here, or you can send me an email at kaurik311@gmail.com or call or text 817-679-1793  Jon

License Plates will be removed prior to sale. You must plan to immediately transfer ownership upon purchasing.

2016 Mazda CX-3 is a 2 cute ute

Tue, 18 Nov 2014

One day removed from our latest round of spy photos, Mazda has finally lifted the veil on its 2016 CX-3 crossover, giving us our very first glimpse at the Mazda2-based entry into the rapidly expanding world of subcompact crossovers.
Mazda's KODO design language is once again on display, presenting some increasingly familiar styling touchstones including a five-point grille that integrates neatly with the front headlights to present an almost protruding snout that's both clean and complex. Like previous KODO designs, the CX-3's profile features swoopy character lines that highlight the wheel arches and a higher beltline. Mazda has cleverly chosen to black out the CX-3's D-pillar in favor of a floating roof look, a design decision that adds to the model's fashionable styling. It's the rear of the design that borrows most heavily from the Mazda2, largely in the shape of the headlights and rear hatch.
Globally, under that fashionable sheetmetal sits Mazda's 2.0-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder that can be mated to a six-speed manual or automatic. Unfortunately, in North America, it looks like we'll only get the automatic. Regardless of gearbox, power can be sent to an optional next-gen all-wheel-drive system that uses the active torque control system found on the Mazda CX-5. Like the Mazda2, front-drive is standard.

4 automakers agree to $553M settlement of Takata airbag claims

Thu, May 18 2017

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Four automakers agreed to a $553 million settlement to address class-action economic loss claims covering owners of nearly 16 million vehicles with potentially defective Takata airbag inflators, according to court documents filed on Thursday. Toyota's share of the settlement costs is $278.5 million, followed by BMW at $131 million, Mazda at $76 million and Subaru at $68 million. According to a press release from Plaintiffs' Committee for Takata Airbag Product Liability Litigation, the funds for the settlement are aimed at getting more cars with faulty airbags fixed. At the time of writing, Toyota had the greatest recall completion percentage of 31.89 percent followed by Subaru with 31.37 percent. Mazda has completed repairs on 18.16 percent of affected cars, and BMW brings up the rear with 16.48 percent completion. Some settlement funds will go to an outreach campaign to increase awareness, while other funds will be used to reimburse people for any costs accrued to get their cars fixed. These costs can include rental cars, child care, lost wages, or any other reasonable costs associated with bringing in a vehicle for repairs. Furthermore, a customer support program will be funded with settlement money to handle any additional repairs or adjustments that could become necessary in the 75,000 miles following the airbag replacement. Lawsuits against Honda, Ford and Nissan have not been settled, lawyers said. Takata inflators, which can explode with excessive force and unleash metal shrapnel inside cars and trucks, are blamed for at least 16 deaths and more than 180 injuries worldwide. The safety defect has prompted recalls worldwide of about 100 million inflators by more than a dozen major automakers.

Mazda and Lexus crowned with KBB 5-Year Cost To Own awards

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

We report on a lot of awards, some of which are given out based on more solid criteria than others. This one, the Kelley Blue Book 5-Year Cost to Own awards, seems like one that new car shoppers should pay attention to.
The cost of a car goes far beyond what you pay for the actual metal, leather and rubber at the point of purchase. Fuel, insurance, maintenance and repair costs, and the cost of fees from the state and financing will all weigh on your wallet while you own the car. That's not even taking into account the biggest cost: depreciation, or the amount of money you lose based on what your car is worth years from now versus the day you bought it.
KBB tracks these sorts of things, and they've compiled a list of winners for 2013 models. On the brand level, Mazda and Lexus earn the 5-Year Cost to Own award for having the lowest overall projected five-year totals (though, curiously, we note that Mazda and Lexus each had only one segment winner). There are lots of winners for all the various segments, so we'll just pick out a few surprising ones to share and you can view the rest here.
