ONE OWNER!!!! CLEAN TITLE!

Smoke-Free!

Fully loaded with 6-Disc changer, power moonroof, power locks/windows, etc.  Powerful V6 engine with All-Wheel Drive!

As you can see from the photos, cosmetically it's not perfect, but everything works like the heat, lights, A/C, fog lights, cruise control, power mirrors, etc. except for one of the power outlets.  It does have one that still works. It also has a keyless entry/alarm system with a remote start that works intermittently.  

On the outside, there is a small crack on the front left side bumper with some scratches.  This was a slippery parking lot incident with a curb.  The front is missing the bug guard (it looks as though someone decided to rip it off of my truck for the fun of it).

The engine runs strong and has a good amount of kick to it. I have all of the major repair documents on hand.  Most recently, all 4 tires have been replaced.  Very well maintained and cared for.

This vehicle is still being driven, so please allow for this in regards to the mileage currently listed.

This vehicle is for sale locally, I reserve the right to end this listing if the vehicle sells and is no longer available.

Mazda3 sales off to rocky start despite massive critical acclaim

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Like just about every other auto publication we've seen, we loved the way the Mazda3 drove when we reviewed it a few months ago, but those glowing reviews apparently aren't helping its sales. The new compact may be falling victim to a sales war between the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, with the newcomer getting squeezed out by those with more established names and bigger marketing budgets.
According to Automotive News, Mazda3 sales have fallen every month since last August, and its sales are down 27 percent in the first two months of 2014. It certainly isn't helping that the entire compact segment is down five percent this year as well.
The biggest problem for the new model seems to be its price compared to rivals. Mazda is not offering the incentives that are on the hood of competitors. With the previous generation, the company offered more than $2,700 on the hood to move them out, but the current model only carries about $1,233 in markdowns, according to AN.

Xcar tries to figure out what makes the Miata so great

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

Over the past 25 years and 3 model generations, the Mazda MX-5 Miata has shown that you don't have to be the best to be a massive success. The little, Japanese roadster has never been the absolute peak of automotive performance, but it's precise handling, good reliability and frugal running costs have helped make it a star. Autoblog recently tried to give you the experience of driving one on video, and now Xcar Films has made its own in an attempt to show what makes this droptop an icon.
As Xcar puts it, the Miata isn't the world's best sports car, but it is the world's favorite. When they were originally designing the roadster, Mazda's engineers took everything that made British droptops from the '60s great, and junked all of the stuff that made them a terror to own. The result was a car that would start up everyday with no fuss and get drivers wherever they needed to go with a huge grin on their face.
The fourth-generation Miata is imminently on the way for its September 3 unveiling, and the very early rumors indicate that Mazda doesn't plan to rock the boat too much with the latest one. It supposedly rides on a longer wheelbase and wider track but with the weight trimmed by over 200 pounds. Check out Xcar's video for a primer on MX-5 history and why the automotive world loves this little roadster.
