Classic Collector's Mazda 626 on 2040-cars
Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States
Serious offers only. This is for a full car and will not be sold
off for parts. This is a one-of-a-kind classic. I'm only the car's
second owner and I have all of the paperwork sent to the original buyer
from the dealership it was purchased from. It has less than sixty one
thousand original miles on it, as verified by the Utah Department
of Motor Vehicle at the time I bought the car. In February of 2012, the
car was hit on the passenger's side by a woman doing 40 mph in a 10 mph
zone. There are only a few other minor dings here and there on the
body, in that there's only one other that's larger than a fifty cent
piece. The car also has a mustache on the hood that has been fixed with a
permanent adhesive of sorts, not sure what. The interior needs to be
replaced as the car sat out in the sun for many years and wasn't
protected from the elements. When I bought the car, it had been sitting
for at least four years, as the original owner had moved to a retirement
home and didn't think anything more about the car. There are three
things that I know for certain are wrong with the car. It has a blown
head gasket (from sitting for so long), it needs a new clutch/flywheel
assembly (it has a 5 speed transmission) and the muffler/exhaust pipe
are pretty much rusted away. The tires on it are still like new, even
though they're 8 years old. I've been told that this is truly a gem,
despite the repairs needed, and is worth a great deal to a collector.
While the repairs will run around $7000.00 (unless you can do them
yourself), I've been told by several restoration companies that it's
worth at least $10,000.00, even in it's current condition. I absolutely
love this little car and want it to go to someone that's going to spend
the time and money loving it back to the beautiful little treasure it
is. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SHIPPING AND TRANSPORTATION COSTS TO HAVE THE CAR DELIVERED.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Wed, 12 Dec 20122012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
2013 North American Car of the Year:
Best and worst car brands of 2022 according to Consumer Reports
Thu, Feb 17 2022It's that time again, Consumer Reports this morning lifting the curtain on its 2022 Annual Car Brand rankings and its 10 Top Picks in the car, crossover, and truck category. Drumroll, please: This year, Subaru climbs two spots to claim the winner's circle, having come third the last two years. Last year, Mazda climbed three spots from 2020 to take the crown. This year, Mazda slipped to second, BMW taking the last spot on the podium, also a one-spot drop from 2021. Six automakers in the top 10 hailed from Japan, which is one more than last year, and five luxury makers occupied the top 10, which is two more than last year. And South Korean representation didn't crack the top this year, after Hyundai managed tenth last year. The seven makes after BMW are: Honda, Lexus, Audi, Porsche, Mini, Toyota, and Infiniti. The magazine and testing concern says its Brand Report Card "[reveals] which automakers are producing the most well-performing, safe, and reliable vehicles based on CR’s independent testing and member surveys," and that "Brands that rise to the top tend to have the most consistent performance across their model lineups." The domestics also took steps back among the 32 OEMs ranked on the 2022 card. Chrysler and Buick were the domestic carmakers who made last year's top 10 in eighth and ninth, respectively. This year, Buick dropped to eleventh, Chrysler to thirteenth. Dodge went from fourteenth to sixteenth. CR continues to ding Tesla's yoke steerer, the not-exactly-natural handhold responsible for the electric carmaker going from sixteenth last year to twenty-third this year.
