2006 Mazda 6 V6 3.0 Great Shape. Highway Miles. Lots Of Tlc And Maintanence on 2040-cars
Lincoln Park, New Jersey, United States
|
Your bidding on a 2003 Mazda 6 3.0 V6. She is in overall great shape. She bought brand new by the last owner and was pretty much driven on the highway only. I bought the car from a girl that I work with, she lives in south jersey and commutes to north jersey for work and school. It's all highway miles and according to her she never got the car over 70mph. She babied it and took very good care of it. Carfax shows a lot of service records in fact. She told me that every time it needed something done to it or just needed regular maintenance, her dad would get it done. I was recently in an accident with my other car and I needed a vehicle to use while my car was being fixed. And my co-worker was selling this car because she had graduated college and daddy was buying her a new car. The car runs very well. Always starts, never once stalled, doesn't smoke, and transmission shifts smooth and strong. As you can see by the photo, tires have good amount of tread, and according to the girl i bought it from, the brakes were last changed when she got new tires, so they should have a good amount of meat on them too. Over all the car runs very well, in fact I would not be mad if thew auction doesnt sell and I had to keep it longer. It really is a joy to drive. The body is in pretty good shape to. The only real issue the body had that I can find was a little bit of rust bubbles starting to form on the passenger rear wheel well. But don't worry, I sanded, bondoed and painted it and I think I did a good job if I don't say so myself. Unless your inspecting the area for damage you will never notice there was bondo put on. The body also may have a small ding or two and possibly a tiny scratch or two. I didn't see any but I also havn't gone over the body with a magnifier... Couple little chips in the front bumber paint from pebbles hitting it over the years. The horn does not work... I don't know why. I just installed a brand new passenger side headlight assembly, however there is no fog light socket in the new one, but all the other lights on the car work great! As for the inside, there is less than normal wear and tear I would say. Leather looks great on all the seats. Only two small issues are with the passenger rear headliner. It's fell loose and is wrinkled a bit, and also the radio/ a/c screen tends to go haywire and cannot be read sometimes. Everything continues to work fine, it's just hard to read the info. Otherwise I think that's it. gauges all work, a/c blows cold, heat and all vents work great! I think the heated seats may have stopped heating but it's hard for me to tell, feels warm to me but she said the driver side at least did not heat anymore for her. Only other minor glitch is that the engine light recently came on. I scanned it and it says that it is running lean. I googled possible reasons and it said maybe a small vacuum leak which is easily fixable, I just have not had time to inspect the engine compartment to look for it. If I find the leak I will amend the posting and let everyone know. Otherwise the car is not effected by the engine light being on. It still runs exactly the same, runs like a champ. Last thing...I think, the spare tire doughnut went missing somewhere along the line...
This car is in great shape and I do expect it to sell for top dollar. PLEASE SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY! Will consider delivering the car up to 100 miles for a flat rate of $250.00 Otherwise local pick up only. |

Masamichi Kogai new Mazda president and CEO
Fri, 10 May 2013There's some executive rearranging going on in the top suite at Mazda Motor Corporation in Japan, with current CEO Takashi Yamanouchi telling reporters there "I'd like to hand over the work to younger people" now that the company has returned to profitability. Yamanouchi became CEO on November 19, 2008 of an independent Mazda that had to fight for its future in the immediate aftermath of the global financial crisis. What followed was four years of losses before finally getting back to black last year.
Masamichi Kogai (pictured) will be appointed the new president and CEO on June 25, pending approval at the company's annual general shareholders' meeting. Kogai assisted Seita Kanai with the production-efficiency initiative that Mazda called Mono Tsukuri Innovation, which worked to give export-dependent Mazda the best chance at profitability in spite of a rising yen. Kogai, lately in charge of production and purchasing, has been with the company since 1977 and worked in areas from R&D to logistics.
Kanai, who headed the Mono Tsukuri effort and was among the leadership on Skyactiv, will be promoted from executive vice president to vice chairman. Akira Marumoto will become executive VP of Mazda and assistant to new president Kogai. Yamanouchi will remain Chairman of the Board. There's a short press release below to make it official.
Five automakers now being investigated by NHTSA for airbag woes
Thu, 12 Jun 2014It appears that Toyota's renotification to owners of recalled vehicles from last year is just the tip of the iceberg for what could potentially be a much larger industry-wide recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation investigation into roughly 1.1 million vehicles from Chrysler, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota and parts supplier Takata regarding faulty airbag inflators in several models.
NHTSA has received six reports - three directly, two from Takata and one from Toyota - of vehicles with ruptured airbag inflators from 2002-2006, which resulted in three injuries. So far, all six incidents have occurred in high humidity areas like Florida and Puerto Rico. According to Toyota's latest recall announcement, the inflators may have an improper propellant that could cause it to rupture in a crash and the bag to deploy abnormally.
This new investigation follows a previous recall from April 2013 of about 3.4 million vehicles worldwide for the airbag inflators from Takata. As Autoblog reported, Toyota jumpstarted the new situation when it found that the original list of serial numbers for the faulty part was incomplete and discovered more cars in need of replacement. Honda and Nissan told us that they were investigating whether further models would need called in again as well. Mazda told Autoblog: "Regarding the current Takata situation, we're working closely with NHTSA and investigating the situation, but nothing else to report at this time." Chrysler Group responded to us with the statement: "Chrysler Group engineers are conducting the appropriate analysis. The Company will cooperate fully with the National Highway Traffic Administration."
Mazda's Hofu plant builds its ten-millionth car
Wed, 28 Aug 2013Ten million is a lot no matter which way you cut it, and no matter what you're talking about: Ten million dollars, ten million miles, ten million people... certainly ten million cars. And that's the milestone that Mazda's Hofu plant in Yamaguchi prefecture of Japan has just achieved.
The Hofu facility has been in operation since 1982, and was supplemented with a second plant on the same site ten years later. Hofu reached a million units built in 1986 and five million in 2002. But with production now at 482,100 units per year, it took less than twelve years to double that previous milestone.
The magic ten-millionth car was a new Mazda6 (known locally as the Atenza), which is built at Hofu Plant No. 2, while Hofu Plant No. 1 gears up for the new Mazda3 (aka Axela). Scroll down below for a related press release.
