New Orleans - 2006 : We sold Julie's Hawk GT to a lovely lady in New Orleans and here are my pics from delivering it there. Thanks to fellow ADVrider, Will, for the warm welcome and hospitality. Enjoy the bike, Beverly!

It was beyond eye opening to see the Katrina/flooding carnage. And to think it's worse to the east of New Orleans all along the Gulf Coast. Took a route along the coast back to Texas and witnessed what Rita brought ashore, too. Mind boggling...

All stock except for the following cosmetic mods: Small aluminum blinkers, matte black sport mirrors, cleaned up license plate mount and trimmed rear fender. Bike was purchased for my sweetie in 2000. It had low miles to begin with and hasn't accrued many more due to her having a few other scoots as well.

2007 Mazda3 - For Sale : 2007 Mazda3 s Grand Touring 5-Door w/5sp
Purchased new on 09/20/2006, currently has 17,400 miles.
Every option except factory navigation.
Xenon Headlights (GT pkg).
Leather Interior (GT pkg).
Heated Seats (GT pkg).
Full function trip computer (GT pkg).
Bose Premium Sound (222 watts, 7 speakers, 6 disc in-dash).
Power sliding/tilting moonroof.
Auto-dimming mirror with Homelink garage door controls & compass.
Cargo net
Tinted windows all around.
Prewired for Valentine One (can leave wiring in place if desired).
Prewired for Garmin 276c and includes custom dash mount (again, if desired).

Excellent condition, never damaged, driven with care, always garaged.
Never in the shop for repairs, all maintenance records, always on Mobil 1.
Remainder of 36/36,000 basic and 60/60,000 powertrain warranty.
Feel free to check it with CarFax, VIN is JM1BK343371617390.

Mazda3s are forever getting rave reviews and ours has been a total joy to own. Real easy clutch and super precise shifter make rowing the gears a pleasure and the car handles beautifully. Rated at 26/33 cty/hwy, of course the fuel mileage is great. One look at the original tires and it's clear to see that this one's led an easy and pampered life. I love driving it and wish it could stay in the stable, but Jules is firm on us having only two cars and with her tiny smart fortwo coming in a few weeks, that leaves me with having to sell the Mazda as we have to keep our SUV to tow moto trailers and such.

Per Kelly Blue Book...
Suggested retail value: $19,975 (Price if sold as-is from a dealership.)
Private party value: $17,800
Trade-In value: $15,750

This one's a cream puff and includes a couple of things not selectable on Kelly's site, so we're asking $18,500.
