Apologies beforehand, I am not familiar with selling on Ebay, and I am not a car dealer. I just need to sell this car to buy a family size car. I have tried to be as specific and upfront as possible.
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.

The Environmental Protection Agency has spoken, and these are the miles per gallon numbers it has officially bestowed on the 2014 five-door Mazda3 hatchback with the SkyActiv-G 2.0-liter engine: 29 city, 40 highway, 33 combined when fitted with the six-speed manual; 30 city, 40 highway and 33 combined when equipped with the six-speed automatic.
Those numbers exactly match the fuel economy targets that Mazda had set for the car when optioned with the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G with 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque. For comparison to other cars in the segment, the EPA numbers for the 2013 Honda Civic sedan are 28 city, 39 highway, 32 combined when its 140-hp, 1.8-liter four-cylinder is paired with the five-speed automatic. The Hyundai Elantra GT gets 27 city, 37 highway and 30 combined according to the EPA when its 148-hp, 1.8-liter four-cylinder is paired with either a six-speed manual or six-speed automatic transmission. The numbers for the 2014 Ford Focus aren't out yet.

Twenty-six years after it was introduced at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the much anticipated fourth generation Mazda MX-5 Miata will meet the press at the 2015 Chicago show. A piece in Autocar refines some of the details on the larger, lighter Miata that a Mazda insider has said will be "our best-looking car ever."
The company has relented on the quest for the metric tonne, the 1000-kilogram (2,200-pound) target too difficult to achieve in light of cost constraints. You can still expect it to lose a generous dollop of weight - Autocar says a curb weight of 1,100 kg (2,420 pounds) will still make it the lightest in its class. And Mazda will be stressing a fun driving experience through light weight and a modest amount of naturally-aspirated horsepower. Engine capacities of 1.5 and 2.0 liters are expected. Sounds familiar (and good), right?
The Miata's interpretation of Kodo design will be veer from that found on the Mazda3 and Mazda6, with "very clean and simple" lines marking out "more muscular proportions" and elongated bodywork on a longer wheelbase. A stretched engine bay will make room for the current Skyactiv engine and perhaps the future Skyactiv 2 powerplants, initial reports suggesting there could be a 30-percent increase in fuel economy from the moment it arrives.

In an automotive landscape dominated by platform sharing, technology exchange and any number of other cross-fertilization/cost-saving/amortization exercises, it's actually pretty rare that we get to drive a new car that is as "all-new" as this, the 2014 Mazda6. With brand-spanking new Skyactiv architecture throughout - engine, transmission, body and chassis all included - this 6 represents a new era of flexible production and cutting edge running gear for the happily lithe car company.
Our own Jonathon Ramsey did a cracking job of running the Mazda6 through its First Drive paces a few months ago, and sufficiently impressed upon us just how good looking a car this is for the midsize sedan segment. Suffice it to say, now, then, that this is easily the most interesting (and quite possibly the most beautiful) midsize sedan in the segment today. However, as Mr. Ramsey reviewed a fully contented example of the 6 - one equipped with the six-speed automatic transmission - we took advantage of Mazda's North American launch event of the car to suss out the base Mazda6 i Sport, complete with its six-speed Skyactiv manual gearbox. This may not shock you, but the stripper's pretty good, too.
