2006 Mazdaspeed 6 Sedan 4-door 2.3l Turbo Awd - Manual on 2040-cars
Schererville, Indiana, United States
You are bidding on a 2006 MazdaSpeed 6 AWD. The car has 101k miles and it's a rare find! The MazdaSpeed 6 was only in production for 2 years (2006 & 2007). The MazdaSpeed 6 is known as the fastest-accelarating and most-advanced sports sedan that Mazda has ever built. The 2.3L Inline 4 Turbo engine produces 274 horsepower and goes 0-60 in about 6 seconds. The way this car handles, makes for a great combination of sport & comfort. The car is very reliable and drives great. As you can see, it does have a rebuilt title meaning it passed necessary inspections in order to be eligible for registration. I have posted the original picture of how the car looked when I first got it, before inspections. EXTERIOR CONDITION Overall the exterior looks very nice. The color is shiny! The black hood and rear spoiler are done with Plasti Dip paint which peals right off without leaving any residue in case you don't like the look. The wheels on the car are 18" in okay condition and they are aftermarket. I will include the original wheels which are in nice shape, however need new tires. There are a few exterior imperfections: The front bumper has a small tear on the bottom right in the middle. There is a small ding on the driver's side door (tiny; looks like a rock chip). There was some rust starting to form on the bottom of both of the rear doors. I cleaned this up and I sealed it with POR-15 which is supposed to stop rust. At the same time, I did the undercarriage of the car which was rust free. I decided to do this as a precaution as I was planning to drive the car during winter as well. Also, there is a scratch on the rear bumper on the driver's side. There is also a crack in the lower part of the front windshield (if the car sells for over 6k, I will include a replacement windshield that just needs to be installed). INTERIOR CONDITION The interior is in great condition as you can see from the pictures. Everything works as it should; the radio is 10x better than in my Subaru STI. Some minor issues: One of the illuminating lightbulbs on the heater switch is out. There is some glue left over on the dashboard which I could not remove. It seems like it was leftover from what I'm assuming was a GPS. There is a tear in the rear leather seats, however as you can see in the pictures, I have already purchased and am including the new bottom cushion seat that is in perfect condition. MECHANICAL CONDITION The car runs smoothly; the engine runs strong. The turbo spools up nicely; it doesn't burn oil. The turbo was changed under warranty when the car was under 30k miles. It's all stock except for the cold air intake. I replaced the transmission oil, transfer case oil, & differential oil about 5k miles ago. The engine oil was replaced 1k miles ago. All fluids used were synthetic. I also replaced the rear shocks. One item that needs attention is when I was replacing the shocks, I noticed that the rear sway bar end links need to be replaced soon. When you go over sharp bumps, they started to rattle after the shocks were replaced since the car is stiffer now. This is a quick $50 fix and probably half an hour of work. PAYMENT & SHIPPING The vehicle is being sold in AS-IS condition with no warranty. The BUYER is responsible for pick up or shipping of the vehicle. Payment is due upon pick up. Cash, Wire Transfer, or Certified Cashier's Check only! Please note that funds will need to be verified prior to the release of the vehicle. |

2018 Mazda CX-5 teased ahead of LA reveal
Thu, Oct 27 2016While it will make its full debut at the LA Auto Show, Mazda released a teaser of the new CX-5 ahead of time. Like so many other teasers, the car is obscured by low light, but we can make out some significant details. For one, it appears that Mazda has toned down the muscular curves of the current CX-5's front fenders. In fact, many of the crisp creases of the current model have been softened on this new version. Below you can see a brighter version of the teaser alongside an image of the current model. The greenhouse also appears lower and longer than the current model, and it's highlighted by a chrome strip running from the A-pillar back to the roof. Where it terminates also seems to suggest this CX-5 could have the "floating" roof look that's so popular now. However, when comparing the teaser image with recent spy photos, it could just as easily have a more traditional rear pillar and roof design. Those same spy photos also reveal that the new CX-5 will get a more aggressive, concave grille with a mesh insert. This image is all Mazda has revealed of the new crossover so far, so we'll have to wait until the reveal on November 16 for all the details. Related Video:
Half of Chinese car buyers won't shop Japanese over hard feelings
Mon, May 26 2014The hard feelings between China and Japan is no real secret. Besides modern-day disputes, the two countries have had a long-running enmity that dates back to well before the atrocities of World War II. All things considered, then, it shouldn't be a shock that half of Chinese car buyers wouldn't consider a Japanese car. This survey, conducted by Bernstein Research, found that 51 percent of 40,000 Chinese consumers wouldn't even consider a Japanese car – which, again, isn't really surprising, when you consider stories like this. According to Bernstein, the most troubling thing is the location of these sentiments – smaller, growing cities where the population is going to need sets of wheels. We imagine it wouldn't be as big of an issue in traffic-clogged Shanghai or Beijing, but these small cities are going to become a major focus for automakers. "Nationalistic feelings are an impediment. [Japanese] premium brands will struggle," analyst Max Warburton wrote in a research note, according to The Wall Street Journal. Things will improve for Japanese makes, although China will remain a challenge, with Warburton writing, "the one thing that comes out most clearly is that most Chinese really want a German car. While we expect Japanese brands to continue to recover market share this year, ultimately the market will belong to the Germans." There are a few other insights from the study. According to WSJ, Japanese brands are viewed better than Korean brands, and they're seen as more comfortable than the offerings from Germany or the US, despite the fact that everyone in China apparently wants a German car. This is a tough position for the Japanese makes to be in, as there's really not a lot they can do to win favor with Chinese buyers. It will be interesting to see how this plays out, particularly as the importance of the PRC continues to increase year after year.

These are the cars being discontinued for 2024 and beyond
Fri, Jun 21 2024While we get new and updated car models every year, its inevitable that we'll need to say goodbye to some nameplates as well. This time around, it feels like we have confirmation or reports of an unusually large number of vehicles being discontinued in 2024 and the coming years. We shouldn't be surprised. A large number of automakers are approaching their various target dates for electrification of their fleets. As such, some beloved internal combustion cars are going away, sometimes with appropriate fanfare like special editions. Others are slinking away quietly, killed by slowing sales and changing consumer trends. Of course, the end of production doesn't necessarily mean permanent death. Some of these models could be resurrected in later years ... and probably as an EV. With that in mind, here are the vehicles that are being discontinued in 2024 and beyond.  Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Alfa Romeo ended the production of its combustion-only Quadrifoglio models in April 2024 as the Italian automaker moves toward an electrified future. This isn't the end of the Quadrifoglio entirely, though, with Larry Dominique, Alfa Romeo senior vice president and head of North America, writing, "I look forward to presenting the next chapter in the four-leaf clover’s journey."  Chevrolet Camaro GM is ending production of the Chevy Camaro after 2024, but is sending it off in style with a CollectorÂ’s Edition. WouldnÂ’t it be cool, though, if Chevy brought it back as an EV?  Chevrolet Malibu Rumors of its demise have been around for a while, but now itÂ’s official. GM will end production of the Chevy Malibu in November of 2024. The assembly line in Kansas will be retooled to build the replacement for the Chevy Bolt.  Dodge Durango The three-row Durango is slated to be replaced by the Stealth nameplate after 2024. The Durango name could make a comeback later, according to rumors, on a body-on frame SUV based on the Jeep WagoneerÂ’s platform.  Ford Edge This is the last year for the Edge in the U.S., with the final unit rolling off the assembly line in April. On sale since 2007, the Edge topped 100,000 sales in all but three full years of production.  Ford Escape Newly refreshed for the 2023 model year, FordÂ’s popular Escape compact SUV is reportedly taking its leave in 2025 in order to usher in — you guessed it — an EV in its place.
