Black 2009 Rx8 R3 With 75k Mostly Highway Miles Mechanically Perfect!!! on 2040-cars
|
Hello Ebayers,
Up for sale is my 2009 Rx-8 R3 which I have loved every minute of owning. The car has been fantastic to drive everyday, and even though I have put some miles on it over the past 3 years it has never ever let me down. Most of the miles are highway as I did commute from New Orleans to school in Baton Rouge 3 days a week, drilling in the military in Hammond, and I was working in St. Charles. I would take this car anywhere! I have driven it to North Carolina and back twice. Now down to the good stuff. The R3 version was introduced for the 2009 year model. The R3 package added slightly improved suspension over the base model by adding Bilstein shock absorbers and a foam filled front crossmember to improve rigidity. The R3 also came with 19-inch BBS-forged aluminum-alloy wheels and high performance tires. On the exterior, the R3 had a different, lower front bumper sporting a splitter, lower side sills, and a standard rear spoiler. There is a pair of special Recaro seats up front, along with the same 300-watt Bose audio system, Bluetooth, and Mazda advanced keyless entry and start system. The car does have an upgraded sound system now with a touch screen Pioneer DVD player in dash and new speakers in all the doors (these are amped and sound really nice). It also have a pair of subs in the truck which are in a custom fitted box to leave room. This was done by the previous owner (a helicopter mechanic who took great car of the vehicle), and originally I planned on removing the subs(which is easy), but after how clean the sound was I couldn't bring myself to remove anything. Speaking of the previous owner, I bought the car with 30k miles in 2011. The car was from Hammond La so it has never seen any snow and completely rust free. I am the second owner. Besides the sound being upgraded the only thing that has been changed from stock is a set of mazdatrix stainless braided brake lines were added for a stiffer brake pedal. When doing this I went with Brembo high temp brake fluid and flushed all the lines. I just recently put on a new set of Toyo Proxies less then 6k miles ago so there is plenty of tire left. While doing that I installed a set of Hawk HPS ceramic pads up front for good measure. I also changed the spark plugs, added new 10mm Magna spark plug wires, and changed the fluids in the transmission and rear end with royal purple. I changed the rear pads with generic ceramics and changed the oil with mobile1 (only thing i ever use in my cars) yesterday on 1/21/2014. I just wanted to make sure she was in top running shape before someone else took her home. Mechanically you could not ask for a better car. This is my 3rd rotary car (owned a 1st and 3rd gen rx7 before this) and I just love how smooth they run. That being said the car does have a few chips from rocks as I did commute a pretty long way on I10 in this car. Nothing is terrible, but what you would expect from highway driving. I also did have a rock hit the passenger fog light 2 weeks ago and crack it. I have not been able to replace that yet, but if I can find one I will. I also just ordered a passenger side window motor because the original one seems to be acting up and I will be changing that this weekend. The plastic teeth on the window motor are known to brake so that will be fixed. The Recaro seats are awesome at keeping your butt in place, but the bolstering is large and the driver side has some light wear from getting in and out the car. The last problem is the known rx8 "h pattern" split on the passenger side dash. The link below has the part number to order a new one, and the price can be adjusted to get this fixed. **rx8club.com/series-i-tech-garage-22/cracked-dash-board-passenger-side-211215/** This is really all I can think of. The car is super solid and has never been in any sort of accident. Again, I have made sure all maintenance has been taken care of on time and this Mazda has plenty of open road ahead. That being said I am a realist and know that my asking price may need to be adjusted for the fog light or anything else a buyer may not love so the price is best offer. Thanks for looking and call/text/email for any questions you may have. Pice is for sale locally and on other forums so I do reserve the right to end the add at any time. |

Mazda planning 'aggressive' dealer shakeup
Tue, 17 Dec 2013Mazda has set an ambitious goal of selling 400,000 units by the end of the 2015 Japanese fiscal year in March 2016, and to do that, it's going to need to take some aggressive action. That means that underperforming members of its 637-showroom strong dealer network are about to get the axe.
The purge won't just be limited to dealers that aren't performing, though. Mazda will seek to consolidate poorly located dealers and build new showrooms in better locations. It still isn't clear how many dealers are being targeted or at what point Mazda would end its cull.
This consolidation of dealers is all part of a one-two punch for the Japanese brand, that will also see increased marketing efforts in 35 key areas. Of those markets, Mazda is placing a special emphasis on New York and LA, although there's not much mention of what other regions are being looked at.
Live pics of 2014 Mazda3 from NYC, sedan on its way
Wed, 26 Jun 2013Here it is, ladies and gentlemen, straight from the memory cards of our own cameras. As you can see, the only version of the 2014 Mazda3 that the automaker is showing off at the moment is the hatchback, but we've gotten confirmation from Mazda that the sedan version will be shown sometime within the next five weeks.
So far, Mazda isn't commenting on whether or not we can expect a higher-performance Mazdaspeed3 version of the car, but we've got our fingers crossed. In any case, we're quite drawn to the appearance of this new hatchback from Mazda, with its flowing lines and character creases setting it apart from the rest of the compact segment in which it competes.
We also appreciate the sound engineering that went into the new 3. Despite boasting a wheelbase that's longer than the car it replaces, we're pleased to see that Mazda has kept its exterior size in check - it's actually shorter overall than the last-gen model - while also reducing weight by about 200 pounds. That's bound to be good for the new 3's dynamic properties.
Next Mazda MX-5 Miata headed for 2015 Chicago debut
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Twenty-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.
