Selling my baby. 2nd owner, bought the car with 10k miles on it. Car has freeway miles and has been cared for by me perfectly, all oil changes, etc...I have looked at other Mazda3 on Ebay and in person, and this is by far the nicest 05/06/07 you will find.

Body-in excellent condition, paint is smooth, wax is fresh, paint is still very glossy. Car always received frequent clay bar treatment and Meguiars's wax products. Has a few TINY dings as any car with 50k miles, but again better than any other I have seen. Front bumper has many stone chips due to the highway driving I always did. Touch up was performed, and under the front bumper lip it was real bad and I had to touch that up too. Bottom line is the body is in excellent shape minus the few small flaws.

Interior-excellent condition. Does have the typical interior panel scuffs a used car will have, but has no glowing defects. All panels have always been wiped down with Meguiar's interior care products which really does a great job of keeping the panels fresh and no no fading AT ALL (the product has UV protection, make a difference!) This is original factory leather, NOT one of the cheap after market kits. It looks more like 25k miles on the car based on the seats. Thanks again to Meguiar's Leather Care products!

Drive Train-engine and trans is perfect, please bring your mechanic to verify and car is availble to drive. Only issue is the air pressure warning light for the tires may turn on after you have driven about 20 miles. You would not know this if you test drove the car, but I am a fair person being honest with you. The cause of this is a faulty sensor in ONE of the wheels which is common in the Mazda3 and Mazda6, and the only way to take care of it is to start swapping out sensors in each tire until the problem is solved. It has never bothered me enough to start spending the money to do that. Important note-the transmission DOES have the updated shift software. Most people do not know Mazda issued a TSB( Technical Service Bulletin) about this issue and if you do not update the software (yes, they charge you for this) the transmission will shift hard from 1st into 2nd especially, and it is very bad for the transmission and tranmission mounts.

Audio/Entertainment System-The system would retail installed for a touch over $9k for everything. Please do not try and tear down this pricing and pick it apart, it is real numbers. I am involved in the mobile electronics industry, it is all real pricing. I know many shops that would charge even more for this system.

1. The woofer enclsoure-The enclosure was built in place of the spare tire well. The spare tire well was cut out of the car and reinforced with aluminum angle iron. The enclosure was then installed partially under the car and bolted to the angle iron braces. The entire seam around the enclosure was then sealed with 3M windshield installation adhesive-this stuff is bullet proof! The enclsoure was then coated in multiple coats of marine grade fiberglass resin, both inside and out of the enclsore. Then the enclosure had aluminum sheeting screwed to it to act as a rock/debris deflector, and then the entire thing was coated in a very thick coat of industrial undercoating. WAY over engineered, WAY overkill, but has been WAY perfect since I installed it 2 days after I bought the car. The rop of the enclosure was then smoothed and painted with factory Velocity Red paint by a body shop. Over the woofer is a VERY heavy duty metal grill that will protect the woofer and is strong enough to support anything I have but back there like 5 gallon buckets of paint, etc...Over the amp is a piece of 1/2" plexiglass, again WAY overkill but I could not risk damaging an amp by cutting a corner. After the grill goes on over the woofer, the factory floor mat goes back in. The entire system is mounting in the floor at the exact hight as the factory floor, so no room has been given up.

2. The woofer-JL Audio 13w6-Of all the woofers I have had, this is by far the best compromise I have ever had. The most output with the cleanest, tightest bass, only drawback is the the woofer retailed for $600-$700 for just one, and to get the woofer to do what it can do, it needs a large, high quality amplifier. The trim ring on the woofer was also painted to match the body.

3. The amp-Phoenix Gold just released the new Elite series of amps, this one is one of the first in the country. I had a pair of JL Audio amps in the car which were great, the Elite blew them away-but it should, is is a single amp that sells for $1600-$1800. I have never had an amp that has been as solid as this amp.

4. The front speakers- I have had no less than 6 sets of speakers in the front doors of this car, some as high dollar as $900 a set, the Phoenix Gold Elite6.5 that are in there now are by far the best sounding speaker I have had in there. The tweeter is VERY clean, and the woofer is the real deal-cast fram, engineered cone, etc...

5. Rear speakers-rear speakers are rarely a big deal, so I have had the same JL Audio VR650SCi in there since I bought the car. They are reliable and work well for rears.

6. Navigation-Is the new Kenwood DNX690HD--has bluetooth, HD Radio, Ipod hook up, etc...all of the bells and whistles. Not much to say other than it is one of the best navi on the market.

7. Sound deadening-the entire car is coated in a layer of deadening material from Stinger (Roadkill). I will NOT own a highend subwoofer with out layering the car in this product. Do you want to hear the woofer or the car rattle? When you listen to the system and we crank on it, sure there are a few rattles, but not many at all. This product is a game changer.

8. Cap-Stinger cap to help the amp get more current and voltage when playing the system louder. Best cap on the market, period.

9. Wire and connects-Main power wire is JL Audio 1/0 ultra heavy duty wire. It is ran under the car and encased in reinforced conduit. The power wire enters the car via a dual gasket compression grommet. The RCA cables front to reat are new Stinger ultra high end cables. Do I really believe an ultra high end cable makes a difference, I'm not really sure to be honest, but then I put the cables in, if I have $9k of gear in the car, and the cable can make it sound 1% better, I would be stupid not to spend the money. So there is no short cuts on this system

10. Power upply-in the glove box is a Stinger 150watt power inverter (has a wall plug, plug in your laptop when driving, etc...)

11. Remote start system-is the Code Alarm Pro 5550 SST. It had awesome range to begin with, but still, when in the mall, in a parking garage, a restaraunt, and a million other places, a little transmitter can only get you so far. Now the system is networked to my smart phone. I can start the car, unlock the doors, etc..from anywhere in the word. SO many times I go out to my car to grab something and my keys are in the house, no biggies, push a button on my phone, the doors unlocked. And the company that builds the smart phone interface also offer monitoring for a small charge-records speeds, distance traveled, where the car is by seeing on a computer since it tracks it via vehicle tracking software. Not a big deal but I love this, the transmitter has a micro USA charging port on the side, so if you are driving and notice your battery is low, plug your phone charger into the transmitter and charge it while you drive.

I also have all of the factory stereo gear and every box/manual for all of the grear except the rca cables.

About my price on the car, there is how I came up with it. It is the nicest Mazda3 on Ebay. The nice ones are selling for $8-$10k. So I a fair price is $9k. The electronics would be $9k, cut it in half to be fair so it is $4500, then cut it in half again to make it a bargain, so I figure $2250 for the electroncis, so the price is $11,250. I do not want to list my car over $11k, so I $10,950 looks better.

Payment terms-cash only. No bank checks, personal checks, etc...Must be cash like hundred dollar bills. I have never sold a car on Ebay, but my boss has done so about 10 times and he gave me advice. Tell about the good and the bad on the car (I did both). ONLY take cash, and be detailed. So, cash only.

Thanks for looking and I hope you enjoy my car as much as I have. It has been a great car, with an amazing package and I will be sad to see it go. I bought a new car and it is time to start building again--with much of the same gear going into the new one!

Mazda halts Mazda3 sales for fuel tank problem

Tue, Oct 6 2015

Mazda is issuing a stop sale and recall on 14,406 examples of the 2015-2016 Mazda3 in the US with build dates between May 21, 2015, and August 24, 2015, due to a possible fuel leak. There are no reports or accidents or injuries from this problem. According to the company, a defective fuel shut-off valve can allow gasoline to move from the tank and fill the charcoal emissions canister. If it gets too full, there can be a leak, which obviously carries the risk of a possible fire. The engine might stall, as well. Affected owners will be notified to bring their Mazda3 in "as soon as possible." Dealers will inspect the vehicles, and if a problem is found, the fuel tank and charcoal emissions canister will be replaced. During the downtime, customers will get a free rental or loaner car, as well. Those who are particularly concerned can also call Mazda roadside assistance to have their vehicle delivered for the check and possible repair. Related Video: Mazda Issues Stop Sale and Stop Delivery for Mazda3 Fuel Tank Recall WASHINGTON, DC (October 2, 2015) – Mazda Motor Corporation will conduct a Safety and Emission Recall Campaign for certain 2015-2016 Mazda3 vehicles (built from May 21, 2015 through August 24, 2015), which could have a safety-related problem. A defect in the fuel shut-off valve may allow fuel to flow from the fuel tank into the charcoal emissions canister. With this condition, the check engine light may illuminate, and if the fuel exceeds the canister capacity, fuel leakage could occur, increasing the risk of a fire and/or engine stalling. Approximately 14,270 vehicles in the U.S. and 136 vehicles in Puerto Rico are affected. Owners of subject vehicles will be notified by mail in early October. They will be informed to bring their vehicle to the nearest Mazda dealer as soon as possible. Dealers will inspect the fuel tank to determine if the defect exists on the vehicle. If the defect exists, the dealer will replace the fuel tank and charcoal canister at no cost to the customer. A rental or loaner vehicle will be provided at no cost to the owner, until the vehicle is repaired for this concern. If there are no concerns, the vehicle will be returned to the customer. Should a customer not want to drive the vehicle to the dealership, they may contact Mazda's 24-hour Roadside Assistance service at 800-866-1998 and have the vehicle picked up and delivered to the dealership. There have been no reports of accidents or injury related to this issue.

Mazda hands over first factory-restored Miata

Thu, Sep 27 2018

In August 2017, Mazda announced that it will be offering factory quality restoration work for the original, NA body Mazda MX-5 Miata introduced in 1989. The program also included parts support, as Mazda wants to underline how much the original Miata still means to it. The program was launched with exemplary work carried out on a Miata owned by Mazda, but the first customer car has now been finished. The first car was picked from 600 applications sent to Mazda. Out of all these cars needing factory certified work, the 1992 British Racing Green V-Special owned by retired tomato farmer Keiji Nishimoto was chosen to be the first. The Eunos-badged limited-edition car was bought new by Nishimoto, and he told Mazda the car had been instrumental in creating some wonderful road-trip memories. The V-Special edition came in a British roadster-style color combination: "Neo" green over tan leather, complete with a retro-style Nardi wood wheel. The car also has a front strut bar and a limited-slip differential. Nishimoto had already been planning to get his car restored, but getting it done by Mazda during the summer was even better. The car was finished in August, and it was officially handed over to its owner in September. To have owned and enjoyed a car for a quarter-century and getting a chance to experience it in as-new condition again must be a fantastic experience. Nishimoto says the car is now good for another 25 years of driving. For the time being, the TUV Rheinland certified restoration program is only available for Japanese customers. But since a large percentage of first-generation Miatas are still on the road, and a large percentage of those will need bodywork done in all the usual places, we would happily see Mazda reach out to European and American customers as well.
