2016 Mazda3 i Touring Sedan — 6-Speed Manual
A genuinely rare find: a well-documented, reliable commuter car that also happens to be a 6-speed manual — increasingly hard to come by on any Mazda3, let alone one with this kind of paper trail. Efficient, fun to drive, and backed by real service history.
✅ What You're Actually Getting
- Passed our 90-point inspection by our own service team, Duluth Auto Service & Imports
- OBDII scan completed: all drive monitors ready, zero stored or pending trouble codes — passed emissions inspection
- Rare 6-speed manual transmission — a fading option that keeps this Mazda3 both efficient and genuinely fun to drive
- CARFAX-documented: 2 personal owners, no total loss, no structural damage, no title brands, "Good Reliability" rating (top 50% among similar Mazda3s, ~$280 average annual repair cost)
- 18 documented service records — full brake overhaul (calipers, pads, rotors, front and rear), recent tire replacement, and fresh fluids including a transmission fluid change — an estimated $2,000+ in documented work (at standard market rates)
- Front-wheel drive, 2.0L SKYACTIV-G 4-cylinder, 155 horsepower
💰 Real Value
CARFAX's History-Based Value places this Mazda3 around $11,130, with Kelley Blue Book and Manheim's adjusted retail figures landing close by in the $10,600–$11,100 range — a tight, well-supported cluster for a car this well documented. Market pricing shifts, so we're always happy to pull you a current market pricing report on request — price is only what you pay, but value is what you get.
And that's before counting what's already been invested in this car and what comes with it: documented maintenance and repair work — including a full front and rear brake overhaul, a tire replacement, and a recent transmission fluid service — is conservatively estimated (at standard market rates) at over $2,000, our 5-Year Maintenance Plan adds another $2,500 in value, and our included Quality Plus Auto Protection Plan adds up to $1,500 in engine/transmission coverage. Add it all up — $11,130 in market value, plus $2,000 in documented service, plus $2,500 in maintenance plan value, plus $1,500 in warranty coverage — and that's over $17,100 in total value in this vehicle.

📋 Vehicle History (Full Transparency)
- A minor accident was reported back in 01/11/2017: a rear-end collision. CARFAX classifies the damage as minor (cosmetic-level, dents/scratches) with no airbag deployment, and it did not affect the following nine years of clean ownership and service history.
- Ownership history shows two personal owners, with no salvage, flood, lemon, or odometer title brands reported at any point.
- The original factory warranty has expired across all coverage types — this vehicle is covered instead by our own Quality Plus program, detailed below.
