I am moving to California shortly so I am hoping to sell this car quickly. I have it listed on autotrader at $8200 but I am willing to listen to all offers. Send me an email (dancast9999@gmail.com) or PM if you would like more information.

The car has 71,000 miles on it. I purchased this car in September of 2009 with 31,000 miles and it has been my daily driver. The car has never been in an accident. The VIN is listed in the pictures below so you can run a CarFax report. I have receipts and records of all service performed in a maintenance binder.

The car is mechanically sound and recently passed NY State Inspection. It is a very smooth ride. I have used 93 octane rated gasoline on every fill up to keep the engine running clean. The last Mazda Full Circle Inspection was in March 2011 and the car passed every category (I have the paperwork). All major work performed at the 43K mile mark was performed at Ira Mazda of Danvers (Danvers, MA)

Wheels & Tires

I have a set of winter tires & rims and summer tires & rims. This makes it very inexpensive when the season change comes. I had both sets balanced when they were put on last winter and this spring. The Summer Set has lightweight composite Enkei rims. These are the rims currently shown on the car. The tires are Hankook Optimo K415 purchased in May of 2010. They have approximately 20K miles on them. The Winter Set has the four factory Mazda rims. I have one picture of the rim shown on the ground. The front tires are Dunlop Winter Sport M3. These came with the car and they looked very new at the time. I have put approximately 20K miles on them. The rear tires are Bridgestone Blizzaks purchased in December 2010 and have approximately 11K miles on them. One of my tires got a flat from a nail and I replaced the two rears rather than all four. I left the Tire Pressure Monitoring System on the four Winter Rims. I chose to leave the sensors on these rather than swap each winter/summer season.

Issues With Car

• There is no CD player in the Bose Radio Head Unit. My stock head unit stopped working and the Bose Unit I replaced it with did not come with a CD player. The radio sounds great and all speakers work fine.
• There were two scratches that I attempted to fix with the factory Mazda touchup paint and it did not match well (due to weather fading). One is on the driver's side door and the other is on the driver's side front bumper. (close up pictures below)
• There are a few minor scratches on the front and rear bumper
