2007 Mazdaspeed 3 - GT
2007 Black Mica Mazdaspeed 3 - Grand Touring package (GT)
2.3 litre turbocharged engine with direct fuel injection and a 6 speed
manual transmission standard. Produces a factory 262hp and 280ft/lbs
torque. Mazdaspeed 3's and 6's are highly underrated and come with
some very nice performance upgrades. These cars can be stage 2 with
an accessport and much faster than they already are. Currenly boosts
stock to 14psi on a stock k04 turbo.
Currently has 171,357 miles and ~175psi +/- accross the board for
compression. Tested at 167k when new plugs were installed. Runs like
a "raped ape" as most would say. The car was purchased by me in
october of 2011 from a sales woman and the car was 100% stock when
purchased.
Pro's:
-Shows no signs of mileage! Seriously... looks and feels brand new
which is strange to most people including myself.
-Air conditioning in this ****er is straight beast lmao.
-Heat works very well too with optional automatic climate control.
-The front LSD is the same one out of the RX-8 rear end factory
-Recently installed new plugs, coils, and injectors because I was in
the area of these while cleaning the valves as a routine maintenance.
(done at 167k, approx ~ $400)
-At 170k I had the VVT actuator, timing chain, tensioner, guides, cam
bolts and washers all replaced. Done by a certified Mazda Master
technician (Approx cost with labor was ~ $900)
-At some point the clutch was replaced. I was not given paperwork on
this but it has never slipped on me even under full boost.
-Current mods include: CP-E nano intake, Street Unit full recirc
bypass valve, Street Unit rear motor mount, RPM vent gauge pod with
Defi Boost gauge, gutted secondary cat (main cat still intact), and
aftermarket 17" wheels painted cotton candy blue with 70% + Yokohama
Advan tires.
-Car comes with all stock parts including factory 18" OEM mazdaspeed 3
wheels with 70%+ potenza tires.
-Has factory Bose audio with an indash 6 cd changer, factory aux port,
and a factory 6inch subwoofer under the passenger seat.
-Always used Rotella 5w40 oil. Changed at same time of timing which was 170k.
-Just put on an OEM Mazda serpentine belt at 170k while it was off for
the timing job.
-Clean title, never in an accident.
-Interior is near mint!
-New sway bar bushings all around (this car has some beefy sway bars
front and rear)
-The car has some pretty big brakes front and rear and some awesome
factory suspension.
Con's:
-Windshield has 2-3 small rock chips. Have not spread yet and
shouldn't spread because they went from winter to summer without
spreading.
-Front bumper and very front of hood show signs of lots of highway
driving. Very small chips and nicks. Still looks great though.
-Passenger mirror has a very small scrape and crack in it. Hardly noticeable.
-The woman drove around with a small dog so the steering wheel has a
few claw marks along with the drivers door interior from the dogs
claws.
-Exterior shows minimal flaws which include 3-4 misc very tiny nicks.
NO DENTS anywhere.
Here is what NADA says the car is worth:
http://www.nadaguides.com/Cars/2007/...dard-Equipment
My asking price is $9300 or best offer. This is the cheapest MS3 in
the entire US as far as autotrader and craigslist go that is not
salvaged or non-running. Keep in mind I have put over $1000 into making this car last at least another 90k miles.
I will provide the vin # to those seriously interested.
Thanks.

Re: 2007 Mazdaspeed 3 - GT
All highway driving obviously. A woman used to drive a lot for a sales job so she raked the miles up easily. I bought it almost a year ago and haven't even had a chance to put 10k on it yet lmao.
