Time to officially put the car up for sale. $4,000.00CDN
First a little history.
I've owned this car for almost 15 years. When it was new it had the complete factory/dealer rustproof, paint protection etc. Since then I've had it rustproofed and oil treated numerous times over the years. The car has spent a good portion of it's use on Vancouver Is and has seen very little to no winter use in Ontario. I haven't used the car in almost 3 years and have changed the oil and started / drove it from time to time to keep things in check. It got a complete new oem paint job 4 years ago. At around the same time I had it go in for a complete make-over with the KLZE swap, 2.5" SS custom exhaust system, etc. Currently, I have no room for the MX as I have too many other cars to tend to. I've done just about every type of upgrade (majority are oem) and just when I got it to a point when there wasn't any other mod left to do. At it's last outing (9th Annual MX3 Meet) it won 1st place.

*EDIT*
Approximately $16,000.00 was invested in the 2 years prior to taking it off the road.

that's an awesome car you have there, wish you were parting out =P

good luck with the sale, i'd buy it if you were closer or if i had the money

Thanks

Nice Mx-3, one of cleanest on the site, Sorry to see you sell it as there's less and less of old timers. I'm sure new owner would have one of best mx-3s

^^^^^ Thanks much
Well almost 15 years of ownership, I guess it wasn't a flash in the pan thing.
Had I the garage space, I would think twice about letting it go.
4 cars is a bit much to keep on top of.

Sorry to hear you're selling it, those seats are spectacular. If you end up parting it, those door sills about the only thing left on mine to complete a similar goal of all kinds of oem upgrades.

No parting of this MX3, sorry.

She still looks awesome John.....

Another long time member! Car looks to be in fantastic shape John. I am sure at $4000 it is far less than spent. Wishing you all the best with your sale.

Thanks Tim
Ya, it's a hard decision after almost 15 years of reliable service.
You're right on the price. Everyone that I've talked to that knows or seen the car has said it's very fairly priced and most said well under-priced.
$11,000.00+ for the ZE, exhaust and suspension upgrades alone.
$3,000.00 for the paint job.
$2,000.00+ plus for the wheel/tire package from Mazda.
Then there's the exterior cosmetic bits plus the color match painting of those.
And then all of the brand new interior pieces as mentioned above including new door panels front and rear.

looks great John. Someone will be getting one hell of a nice car for that price.

just a question. were thsoe door sills a mazda accessory at the time or what, and where did you get them from then?

Hi guy!Congratulations for she...awesome macchine!If she was mine I'll never sell she...
Bring to Brazil and I pay you in cash!!!!

please dont! if i lived closer i'd pay cash! she's so beautiful! good luck with the sell!

Rest assured, I won't.

you are a great MXer John, Hope you have good luck on the sale and I really hope your car goes to just as deserving an owner. You were a real contribution to the community.
