Only 23000 miles on this fantastic local trade. Perfect Carfax, never smoked in, no dogs, just serviced by us and new tires all around.
We take high performance cars like this in trade all of the time since they are so popular with Microsoft employees and the Microsoft campus is so close to our store (by the way, any Microsoft employee anywhere in the country gets employee pricing at our store) but they are never, never, never this immaculate and unabused. People buy race cars to race them, duh, and therefore they tend to live a hard life despite low miles. Weak clutches, hammered undercarriages and bent rims are almost standard on cars like this. To find one this pristine, used exclusively as a morning commuter and traded in on a family vehicle (a new Infiniti JX35) not from a Microsoft employee but rather from a director at rival Oracle, is simply not going to happen. (By the way, all Oracle employees are also employee price at our store.)
This car is fun, fast and gorgeous. Enormously powerful, easy to drive, enjoys excellent economy when you take it easy, prodigious power when you're in the mood. If you would like me to fax you the Carfax or signed shop report please do not hesitate to ask!
Check out the video walkaround I did for this car at our website www.Infinitiofkirkland.com where I really show this seductive red race car in great detail. I have managed the pre owned center here for 10 years and have sold cars in the Seattle market for 16 years. Last year I celebrated my 10,000th car deal and my goal is to get to 20,000 before I turn 50. I have sold cars to virtually every state in the United States, every province in Canada, Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Poland, England, France, Indonesia and more. I can handle any financing arrangement, transportation whether enclosed or lowest price, trade ins, customization or anything at all that pertains to buying, selling, transporting, insuring or modifying a vehicle. When you deal with me you're dealing with the boss, so there's no sales games, no stories and nothing hidden. You shoot straight with me, I shoot straight with you and we get you behind the wheel of a car you will be absolutely THRILLED to own.

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.
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.
Mazda3, CX-5 earn IIHS Top Safety Picks
Thu, 17 Jan 2013Mazda technologies like SkyActiv-Body and SkyActiv-Chassis, plus ultra-high-tensile steel, six airbags, "crusable" brake and accelerator pedal assembly and collapsible steering column have helped the 2013 Mazda3 and 2014 Mazda CX-5 win Top Safety Pick laurels from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS). It's the second year in a row for the Mazda3.
The accolade is earned by receiving "Good" marks for frontal moderate overlap crashes, side and rear impact crashes, and tests of roof strength. Remember, the small overlap test that the IIHS commenced in August 2012 has lately tripped up some makers who have excellent safety reputations.
The Mazda3 and CX-5 join offerings like the Dodge Dart, Hyundai Elantra, Mitsubishi Outlander Sport and Subaru Forester among the 117 vehicles so far declared Top Safety Picks - which is different than the 13 named Top Safety Picks+, mind you - for this year. Have a read of the press release below for more information.
