No Reserve 6-speed Manual Heated Leather Seats Alloy Wheels Ice Cold A/c Clean on 2040-cars
Jackson, Mississippi, United States
2004 MAZDA RX-8
WATCH THE VIDEO IN 720 HIGH DEF! WATCH TO THE END FOR A TEST DRIVE! Real sports cars aren't supposed to have four doors, but this one does. It has the graceful lines of a coupe but includes two rear-opening half doors that make access to the back seats a breeze. This particular '04 RX8 has almost all the option packages. We included the ones we think it has above, but verify that for yourself. The only option we aren't sure if this one has are the HID lights. It's loaded up with auto climate, steering wheel controls, and even HEATED leather seats. Of course, with only 81k miles, this one is barely broken-in! The seats have no rips or tears. Everything on it works just like it should! This car was just traded-in at the dealer on a new car. We got in it and drove it back to our place here in Mississippi with NO PROBLEMS. When we tell you this car is ready to hit the road, we aren't just whistling Dixie...we've put it to the test! WE had our mechanic go over all the mechanicals to make sure they were all in good order and installed a new battery as well. This car has no warning or service lights lit. The tires have plenty of tread and it drives GREAT with no vibrations or pulling. We would not hesitate to get in it and drive it ANYWHERE. Best of all, we got a great deal on this car that we're passing along to you in the form of a NO RESERVE AUCTION. Bid to win because the high bidder will own this car even if the final bid is THOUSANDS BELOW the book value!!! 2004 Mazda RX-8 Road Test The beep is back. It's not exactly the tingly, joy-buzzer siren of the late, lamented RX-7 but rather a clear, solid tone that announces you've reached the rarefied redline of 9000 rpm. To fans of the rotary engine, it's music far sweeter than any score composed by Chopin or Tchaikovsky. And this time around, the Wankel 2-rotor is packaged in the Mazda RX-8, a vehicle that forces us to re-examine the definition of sports car — call it "variation on a rotary theme." Progeny of both the RX-Evolv and RX-01 show cars, the Hiroshima-built RX-8 isn't meant to be a direct replacement for the RX-7 — although Mazda is not ruling out the possibility of a successor. Rather, it's a very capable-handling, affordable rear-drive sports car with room for four people, with ingenious doors to admit those people. It's powered by a new version of the Wankel engine called Renesis, whose 250-bhp output approaches that of the third-generation RX-7's, yet without its twin turbochargers, higher emissions and thirst for fuel. Credit a new design that eliminates the peripheral exhaust ports, moving them instead to the cast-iron side plates in the rotary's Dagwood-sandwich construction, which alternates these plates with the two aluminum rotor housings. The Renesis design allows for 30-percent-larger intake ports and no overlap between intake and exhaust, which means that unburned hydrocarbons are carried into the next combustion cycle rather than simply coughed out the exhaust ports. RX-8s come in two basic configurations. Want clutchless ease? Then $25,180 buys you a version with 210 bhp and a 4-speed automatic, with sequential shifts summoned through paddles on the small-diameter 3-spoke steering wheel. The automatic version's lower output is traceable to rpm limitations of the torque converter, restricting engine speed to 7500 rpm, though its peak torque is actually higher than the more powerful engine — 164 lb.-ft. at 5000 rpm, versus 159 lb.-ft. at 5500. The automatic car also has smaller brake rotors, a 16-in. wheel/tire package and slightly more compliant suspension.
By incorporating the B-pillars inside the aft, rear-hinged doors,
Mazda's Freestyle door system creates a cavernous opening on each side
of the car. Once inside, there are all the proper sports-car
accouterments: excellent, properly bolstered seats with shoulder-support
wings; aluminum-shod pedals with proper heel/toe spacing; a wonderfully
positive shifter; and a readable set of gauges whose nighttime
illumination offers a choice of white or red. For the full 9000-rpm, 250-bhp rush, look to our 6-speed manual-equipped test car whose $26,680 base price gets bumped to $31,100 with just about every conceivable option: xenon headlights, foglights, heated leather seats, a crisp-sounding Bose audio system with 6-CD changer and a power moonroof. Its Renesis rotary gets a third intake port for each rotor (versus the automatic version's two) that pipes in at the 6250-rpm transition point of its complex, variable-volume intake system for improved high-rpm breathing. Along with firmer suspension, a slightly larger front anti-roll bar (26.5 mm versus 25.4) and 5-spoke 18 x 8-in. wheels mounting 225/45R-18 Bridgestone Potenza RE040 tires, the 6-speed car also has bigger brakes (12.7-in. front rotors, 11.9-in. rears). Mazda's DSC stability control is an option. With either RX-8, the novelty here (besides the Wankel engine) is that you can take three friends along on your sports-car experience...provided two of them are children, or small to average-size adults...in reasonable comfort, especially in the head-room department. Its Freestyle door system (Mazda's term) consists of conventional front doors, and rear-hinged rear doors that swing out 80 degrees, creating an opening so large it resembles one of those cutaway interior bucks you see at auto shows. It also begs the question of how the RX-8 would fare in a side impact. The answer? Quite well, as Mazda has incorporated a "virtual B-pillar" of tubular steel inside the largely aluminum rear doors that spreads crash loads to the rocker panels and roof. Additionally, there are the usual internal side beams, and pins along the tops and bottoms of the doors that engage in corresponding sockets on impact to minimize intrusion. A full complement of side curtain, thorax and frontal airbags reduces the danger further still. Part of Mazda's self-described feeling of "comfortable snugness" in the RX-8's cockpit comes from its high, full-length center tunnel, a reinforced backbone structure that adds rigidity to the unit body and makes the unusual doors possible. On either side are nicely supportive, thin-shell front seats, each incorporating a rotor-shaped trim piece in the integral headrest. The rotor motif appears in several other places, but is most exquisitely rendered on the shift knob. The driver faces a serious set of gauges, the large center-mounted tach having an inset digital speedometer. In a siamesed dial to the right, oil pressure; to the left, coolant temperature and fuel. Both the instantly decipherable climate-control knobs and stereo controls are integrated into a single panel whose lustrous black finish resembles Japanese lacquered wood — a handsome treatment also used on the door panels for the window switches. Along with high-quality plastics, touches of chrome and contrasting inserts for the door panels and seats, it's a remarkably well-finished and appealing interior at this, or any, price point. In the
rear seats, passengers will a) experience mild claustrophobia or b) feel
like junior executives being whisked to their destination in a small
private jet, due to the curvature of the roof and view out the smallish
side windows that tilt out for ventilation. Remove a plastic panel
between the seats, and a pass-through to the trunk is revealed. The
trunk itself, though narrow of aperture, is deep and wide enough to hold
two standard golf bags. Part of the volume is due to the lack of a
spare tire, but a small kit containing a compressor and fix-flat goo is
included. Now the fine print... We
understand you are buying online, but with us you are not buying blind!

have a Mississippi bonded dealer's license, a storage lot, and a

prices. We've put this vehicle through our EXTENSIVE inspection process & can report it has a great ride & drive!

Mazda refurbishing this NFL running back's 22-year-old daily driver
Thu, 10 Oct 2013I don't actually care for the Washington Redskins (which is a good thing, considering the start to their season this year), but I love their running back, Alfred Morris. Why? Well, to start with, Morris helped deliver a dominating 10-3 season for my fantasy football team last year after a flash of prescience saw me pick him up off the waiver wire in Week 1 (hit me up on Twitter if you need fantasy sports insight, guys, I'm sort of like the Ruxin of Autoblog).
Morris is also pretty endearing because of his loyalty to his car, Bentley. Hold up - that's not to say the running back has splashed out on a Continental GT or a Flying Spur. No, Morris gave his much-loved 1991 Mazda 626 the tongue-in-cheek name "Bentley" while he was still a student at Florida Atlantic. One 1,613-rushing-yard rookie season and a $2.2-million contract later, and Morris is still using his Mazda as his daily driver. It might be easy to assume that the young player is simply being really prudent with all of his newfound wealth, but the guy really just has a thing for his five-speed-manual 626.
And Mazda, of course, loves the story of Morris' affection. In an effort to keep his 626 running strong and looking good, the company's Washington D.C.-area dealers have agreed to refurbish Bentley back to its original showroom freshness. Rather than spoil the classic (?) lines of the 626, the Mazda folks are essentially restoring the car for Morris. The cracked dash will be swapped out for a factory replacement, the engine and transmission given a thorough going-over and the whole vehicle generally made as fresh as Will Smith circa 1991. Bentley is expected to be completed and rolling through the capitol city by October 15, and in the meantime, Morris has been driving around in a new 2014 Mazda6 loaner car.
Japanese automakers ramping production for renewed American sales
Wed, 21 Nov 2012The 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan took quite the toll on the automotive industry in that nation. Not content to lean on that tragedy as excuse for slagging sales, the Japanese automakers are planning on a major production expansion in North America. The aim is to reclaim the market share lost from the Tsunami-based dip, and overcome a dollar/yen exchange rate that makes exporting to America unprofitable.
Following the Tsunami, Japanese automakers ramped up production in their North American facilities to compensate, but according to Automotive News, Nissan, Honda and others have all reported plans for still-further increased production in the year ahead. As part of this ramp-up, Mazda will open a facility in Salamnca, Mexico before March of 2014. Part of that increase in output is 50,000 units of a Toyota-badged compact car, which Mazda will produce.
Other Mexican production facilities opening include a Honda plant, which will open in Spring 2014 in Celaya, and a Nissan plant, set to open later this year in Aguascalientes. Nissan also said that it will need another plant in North America within the next five years. According to Nissan Boss Carlos Ghosn, the company aims to raise its stake in the US market from 8 percent to 10, and adding production will help achieve that goal. Even Mitsubishi is aiming to boost production at its Normal, Illinois plant. Production of the Outlander Sport is currently at 50,000, which Mitsubishi wants to raise to 70,000.
2014 Mazda6 i-Eloop to net 40 mpg hwy, 28 mpg city
Fri, 05 Jul 2013Even before Mazda unveiled the 2014 Mazda6, it had introduced its innovative, non-hybrid i-Eloop (Intelligent Energy Loop) brake regeneration system. This technology converts kinetic energy into usable electricity using the alternator, a DC/DC converter and a capacitor mounted just behind the front fascia. During deceleration, the alternator captures energy that is then stored in the capacitor, which can later be used to directly power electric devices like climate control and audio systems. When i-Eloop power is used, it reduces the load on the engine and helps to conserve fuel.
Now available on the Mazda6, i-Eloop is only available on the $29,695 Grand Touring trim level as a part of the $2,080 GT Technology Package, meaning that buyers desiring i-Eloop will have to spend at least $31,775 (not including destination). The added price of this technology should be worth it for those looking for optimal fuel economy as the i-Eloop, combined with the package's active grille shutters, will bump the sedan's fuel economy numbers up to 28 miles per gallon city and 40 mpg highway - both are improvements of 2 mpg over the standard Mazda6 Grand Touring. The GT Technology Package also includes a Sport mode, lane departure warning, high beam control, radar cruise control and forward obstruction warning - the latter two technologies are currently offered in a $900 package that is being discontinued.
i-Eloop will eventually be offered on other Mazda products including the 2014 Mazda3. Scroll down for the official press release on the Mazda6's fuel-saving i-Eloop technology.
