2008.5 Mazdaspeed 3
Here's the info on the car:

-I bought the car new off the lot Dec of 2008. The factory warranty expires Dec of 2011 (bumper to bumper), 2013 (powertrain).

-Car has only 2500 miles on it (25 hundred, not 25 thousand). Garaged winters, never seen snow or road salt.

-Pearl white GT model with the following factory options:
.All weather floor mats (OEM Mazdaspeed mats are in the trunk)
.Homelink/compass/auto-dim mirror
.Trunk cargo net
.Other options on all GT models (leather, rain sensing wipers, alcantara leather, Bose stereo, HID, etc)


-Oil change done by Mazda and with Royal Purple oil.

-Still has most factory stickers (many from the original installation in Japan, dealership didn't have time to remove them so I left them on). The white protective plastic over the brushed "mazdaspeed" door trim is still intact.

-It also has the following mods:
.CPe Nano SRI
.Street Unit shifter bushings
.TRZ rear motor mount
.Forge BPV
The mods fix many of the problems I feel the car came with...they're nothing major but I can remove them and replace them with OEM parts if you wish.

-I've also modified the exterior and interior in the following ways:
.Legal Illinois window tint (20% on all but the front door windows)
.Removed door protection strips
.Rallyarmor urethane flaps (the top line shiny flaps)
.Removed the "3" on the "Mazdaspeed 3" trunk logo

I have all OEM parts for everything I've changed (yes, including the chrome "3" and door strips) should you want them.

The car is functionally perfect, never been abused, raced or seen a track. It also comes from a non-smoking home. I decided to sell it because it just sits there soaking up $$...2500 miles in over 1.5 years just points out that I am absurd for keeping it. I hope it will go to a good home.

Asking price $21K....firm.

Wow. So basically if you're in the market for a new MS3 but don't like the smileys, buy this.

That's basically it. I knwo the price seems a bit high but looking at every MS3 I could find within 200 miles it seems the asking for a car like mine is $18K-20K. The lowest milage MS3 I found is 15K miles and they wanted $20K for it.

I'm asking for what I owe on it so I can pay it off. Actually, factoring in the mods, I'll actually be losing some cash but I'm ok with that.
 
If I were you I'd probably go as far as to return it back to completely stock, change the oil, get it detailed and just sell it basically in showroom mint condition. Might attract more buyers than one that has some mods... but then again you have only very basic bolt ons that most members on this forum would buy anyways.
