Let's get the number out of the way first: 145,283 miles.

That's about 11,176 a year over thirteen years, and what you're really buying here is the badge on the back. The i Grand Touring was the top of the 2013 MAZDA3 lineup, so this one came from the factory with the SkyActiv-G 2.0L 155-horsepower four-cylinder, leather upholstery, heated front seats, an 8-way power driver's seat, dual automatic climate control, push-button start with keyless entry, Bose surround sound, and blind spot monitoring standard on the trim. Automatic transmission. That's a lot of car for $8,219, and it's equipment a base commuter car at this price simply doesn't have.

Autoweb's road test called the 2013 Mazda3 i Grand Touring one of the best-driving compacts on the market — nimble, genuinely fun to steer — and noted the standard blind spot monitoring. Sasaki Time's review of the same trim called it a great value for everything that comes with it, returning 40 mpg on the highway and 33 overall. Numbers like that matter on a Central Texas week of school runs, job sites and a Friday drive down to the coast.

We'd rather you check us than take our word for it. The Carfax vehicle history report is yours to read, and we encourage you to take this MAZDA3 to your own mechanic for a pre-purchase inspection before you sign anything. We invite that because we expect the car to hold up to it.

When you're ready, we can talk extended warranty options and GAP coverage, and we work with every credit situation — cash buyers welcome too. No pressure, no runaround, just a straight conversation. Come drive it and see what you think.
