2005 Mazda 3 with a strong engine, no oil leaks, no engine codes, passed Utah emissions on 12-26-2025 (3 months ago - photo included).

Clutch was replace at 167,000 miles and most of the miles put on it since have been highway miles (minimal shifting). Interior is in great shape with no tears or rips in the upholstery, and no cracks in the plastics or dash. Included are the original Mazda floor mats (both front and rear), as well as a set of very stylish Betty Boop floor mats for the front. The radio is an aftermarket Sony WX-900BT with CD, USB, and Bluetooth for hands free phone calls. The AC compressor was replaced a few years ago and the system just started leaking this past summer, adding refrigerant only lasts a couple of weeks. The fan stopped working on all speed settings, which it had done in the past and we were able to fix it by cleaning the speed selector switches (there are YouTube videos about it.

The right front tire wears on the inside so it needs an alignment or repairs to the linkages (that tire is now on the right rear). Both front shocks should probably be replaced as well.

I would classify this car as a mechanics special, with just a few repairs you will have a very reliable car with a strong engine, and a solid clutch, which is a ton of fun to drive.
