2006 Mazda Rx-8 Grand Touring, Manual 6-speed, No Reserve on 2040-cars
Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States
If you don't know too much about cars with rotary engines, I would be happy to help out with answers (or rx8club is a great resource and has excellent guides that I used back when I was looking for an RX-8).
This is a super clean example of a dependable stock series 1 with ZERO issues! As far as options, the car has Brown/Black two tone leather, power sunroof w/shade, power/heated seat, professionally installed aux jack for your iPhone/Droid/etc, keyless entry with the 'credit card' key that fits in your wallet, and all the appearance package goodies. This car is in immaculate condition and would easily be in the "excellent" condition category on KBB. (Blue Book value $9700!) The engine is original and was last compression tested in 2010 at a dealership and passed with flying colors, and it is running perfectly today. Mazda had some issues/recalls with the RX-8 in 04 and a couple in 05, but they figured it all out by the 06 model year (This is why you'll find a bunch of 04's for sale on craigslist). It was inspected two weeks ago by a reputable mechanic and there were no issues at all. Since I got the car, the only work that needed to be done was the clutch slave cylinder was replaced (and the brake master cylinder along with it). Oil changed religiously every 2.5k miles, and I check the oil level every other time I drive to keep it between 3/4 and full. Tires have plenty of tread. The only issues are a small dent on the front bumper to the left of the Mazda emblem (pictured), and a tiny parking ding in the drivers side rear door (not pictured, didn't show up). Some rock chips on the bottom of the front bumper from highway driving. Wheels look great but have minor curb scuffing. Nothing noticeable from 5+ feet away. There are NO issues mechanically, everything works great! Previous owner a late-30s father of two. I have more pictures up on imgur, email me for a link. The car is in Boston right now, but I occasionally am making trips down to Philly (moving soon), so if you live somewhere along the northeast corridor and are flexible with timing I might be able to drop the car off to you! You are welcome to come see it in person and and any requests for specific additional photos will be responded to promptly! |

Mazda6 diesel to race at Rolex 24, team and drivers announced
Fri, 04 Jan 2013Mazda is getting serious about showing off the Skyactiv-D turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine in the Mazda6. The automaker has just announced it will campaign three diesel Mazda6 racers in the Grand-Am GX class of the upcoming 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona in a quest to walk away with the company's 24th class win. Mazda partnered with SpeedSource to develop the race version of the new sedan, with Japanese and American engineers lending a helping hand where needed. Meanwhile, Freedom Autosport and Visit Florida Racing/SpeedSource/Yellow Dragon Racing will helm teams of their own.
Each car will make use of a five-driver team for the 24-hour race on January 26. In the interim, you can check out the full press release below for more information as well as the full driver roster. Mazda says we can expect to see the No. 70 SpeedSource car under the lights at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show later this month, as well.
Toyota delays Mexico plant as it plans U.S. plant with Mazda
Thu, Aug 10 2017TOKYO — Toyota will push back the start of operations at its scheduled new plant in Mexico, to the first half of 2020 from the initial plan of 2019, the company said on Thursday. Japan's top automaker had initially planned to start building the Corolla sedan at the $1 billion Guanajuato plant but said last week it would switch production to a new U.S. factory to be built with Mazda. Toyota said the delay was necessary to adjust its supply chain in Mexico to produce the Tacoma pickup instead of the Corolla compact car. That factory could also build sport utility vehicles, a Toyota spokesman in Mexico said last week. "With the production model change to the Tacoma pickup, the start of production will consequently be in the first half of 2020," a Toyota spokeswoman said. "However, we will make our utmost effort to advance the timing in order to minimize the impact to suppliers and the local community." Until the scheduled start of the joint venture plant with Mazda in 2021, Toyota will supply the Corollas that were initially slated to be built in Mexico from its factories in Mississippi and Japan, the company said.Related: Mazda-Toyota partnership has us dreaming of a rotary hybrid Reporting by Makiko YamazakiRelated Video:
2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club and Launch Edition unveiled
Wed, Apr 1 2015If you haven't been tempted enough already to place your order for a new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata, the Japanese automaker is sweetening the deal even further at the New York Auto Show this week with the debut of two new editions. Most enticing is the arrival of the new Club edition (pictured above), which brings with it a number of upgrades to Mazda's latest roadster. The MX-5 Miata Club comes with 17-inch gunmetal alloys, a limited-slip differential, Bilstein shocks, tower brace and a new spoilers front and rear. That is, when equipped with the six-speed manual. (The automatic is still available as well, but does without the diff, shocks and brace.) Buyers will even be able to upgrade to BBS alloys of the same size, Brembo front brakes and the aero kit previewed by the MX-5 Global Cup racer in Chicago. The Mazda Connect infotainment system comes standard, with seven-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, nine-speaker Bose audio... the works. The Club edition isn't the only new Miata being launched in Manhattan this week, though: so is the Launch Edition. Offered to the first 1,000 customers who place their orders for a new Miata in the US, the MX-5 Launch Edition is based on the Grand Touring trim level and comes in an exclusive combination of Soul Red paint with a tan leather interior. It even comes with a few do-dads to go along with it. Mazda is taking deposits of $500 for those first 1,000 units at www.longlivetheroadster.com, and details of both these upgraded Miatas can be found in the press releases below.
