Nice MIATA LE first limited edition, 2000 made blacke with red interior, anti lock brakes, bilsteen shocks (R spec suspension) BBS wheels.


I bought this car from a dealer in Ohio about 3 years ago. I have driven it about 2000 miles or so in that time. this is a good looking, low milage (for the year) car. It is not a show car but is a very presentable driver, I get complements all the time. Runs drives shifts and handles as it should, really handles good!

Comes with original miata floor mats (carpets) in good shape but showing some wear (care has been used for 74000 miles). Red top boot, Red Miata tonneau cover, top is in good shape except back window has a bad spot. new back window included, but since I refuse to drive this car with the top up, I have not bothered to have it installed.

Stereo is pretty advanced for its day, has a feature that vibrates the back of the seats so you feel the rhythm.

Interior is in good to very good shape, there is very little wear along the beading on the edge of the drivers seat and a scratch (not a cut or gash) in the passenger seat, see photos.

AC worked when I got it but did not work the next summer. I tried to add freon and it seemed to get a little cooler but it is not working right. Since I dont drive with the top up, I dont use the air.

When I got it there was a leak between the top tan (plastic) of the radiator and the core. I installed a new all metal radiator and it has been great, even in the Arkansas heat.

There is a mark on the rear bumper and there are small imperfections here and there in the paint, I tried to picture the worst but it is hard to see.

Buy it now is what I would like to have for the car, these are hard to find and I have wanted one for a long time.  I am not a little to big for this car and cannot afford a car that I use less than 500 miles a year so it is for sale. The reserve is what I will take and is a fair bit less than the buy it now price so bid what you would like to own the car for and you may get lucky! Please dont ask the reserve.j

I have been on ebay since 1998 (wow almost 15 years!) never a negative feedback, dont want one now so please ask any quesitons or come look before you bid.

Car can be stored indoors for up to 30 days after auction, but I expect payment within 7 days.  Any form of paper payment will require that the car stay here at least 10 days after I deposit the check in my account.  Personal or cashier check are the same.  Wire transfer or cash upon pickup will result in faster delivery.  Paypal for $200 deposit unless you can get here to pay for the car in 3 days.

Sold as is of course. this is a very nice 20 year old car.

One more thing, Air Bag light is flashing 10 flashed, needs a module. I know of no other repairs needed (besides AC). Tires have lots of tread and all 4 match (I seldom buy a car that does not have matching tires).

Only thing I would trade for might be a nice fishing type Deck boat, must be nice, no projects ( I have enough projects already!).

Thanks for reading to the end.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata 2.0L First Drive [w/video]

Mon, Jun 1 2015

The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata is easy to comprehend. It is an enthusiast roadster in its purest form. There's no need for any sort of sales pitch. You don't have to ramp up in order to get people excited about it. Say the words "new Miata" to anyone who cares about cars, and you've immediately got their attention. And now that I have yours, I'll to cut right to the chase. It's brilliant. That's a fact I've known for a while. I drove the Japanese-spec ND Miata in Spain earlier this year, with the 130-horsepower, 1.5-liter engine that we aren't getting in the United States. The new Miata is a modern day reincarnation of the original NA that stole our hearts in 1989. It's smaller and lighter than the outgoing NC, yet boasts more interior room. It's comfortable. It looks great. And it drives like a Miata should. In other words, it's perfect. So what about this US-spec car, then? It's got more power – 155 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque from Mazda's 2.0-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder engine. But it's also heavier. Our car weighs 2,332 pounds, compared to the roughly 2,200 pounds of the 1.5-liter car. Yes, the ND Miata loses 12 hp compared to the outgoing NC, but it's up 8 lb-ft of torque. Plus, according to Mazda, because of the improved powerband, anytime you're under 5,700 rpm the new Skyactiv engine is stronger than the old MZR mill. It's more efficient, too. With the manual transmission, the Miata is estimated to achieve 27 miles per gallon in the city and 34 mpg highway. That a jump of six mpg in both categories compared to the old six-speed. Consider this: The Japanese-spec car uses a 130-hp engine, which I found to be perfectly adequate. The increase in power for the US-spec car mostly just balances out the extra weight, but it also improves performance on the highway. Hit the throttle in sixth gear with the 1.5 and nothing happens. Do the same with the 2.0, and there's movement. Low-end power is far more important in the US than it is in other markets, and that's why our car has the larger engine. "North America is why the two-liter car exists," engineer Dave Coleman told me. Plus, 155 hp power means you eke out the Miata's dynamics at legal speeds. 45 miles per hour in an MX-5 is a far more exhilarating experience than that same speed in any supercar. So yeah, it's not powerful. But to paraphrase Jay-Z, the MX-5 is a super car, not a supercar.

Mazda's first profit in five years in sight due to weak yen

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Automotive News reports Mazda is set to turn a profit for the first time in five years. The automaker is more dependent on exports from Japan than other automakers based in that country, and as a result, it has long suffered at the hands of a strong yen. But the currency has declined in value by some 16 percent over the past six months and Mazda's shares have tripled in value to their highest level since 2008. Contrast this situation to a year ago when Mazda printed 1.22 billion new shares to raise cash. The move was equivalent to 70 percent of the company's then-outstanding stock, and values tumbled to record lows as a result.
Now that the yen has fallen to a value of around 96 per dollar, Mazda operations in the US are more profitable and the company now projects it will earn around $279 million for the next fiscal year. Automotive News says a one yen change against the dollar can have a 9.1 percent impact on Mazda operating profit compared to 4.7 percent at Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries or 3.1 percent at Toyota. Those automakers better insulate themselves from currency fluctuations with overseas manufacturing facilities.

Mazda G-Vectoring Control makes driving better without you knowing

Wed, Jun 29 2016

Mazda has just spent eight years developing a new technology that will make its new cars a lot more fun to drive, even if you have absolutely no idea that it's working. And subtlety's the point, Mazda engineers told us at a press event at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. In fact, the effects of what they've dubbed G-Vectoring Control are so fine that the marketing and PR teams are at a loss for how to do their jobs with it. "The engineers have done their work," said Mazda Director of Communications Jeremy Barnes, "But how do we get the message across?" The basic premise is this: G-Vectoring activates only when the car's on-board computer reads simultaneous steering and throttle input. The data — including throttle position, steering angle, and, crucially, how quickly you're adjusting the steering angle — are then funneled through an algorithm to reduce engine torque, which transfers vehicle weight, adding more grip to the wheels that need it. The system will appear first on 2017 Mazda6 sedans arriving in showrooms later this year, followed by the 2017 Mazda3. Actually, "subtle" does not even begin to describe the effect. G-Vectoring Control can detect as much as one tenth of one degree of steering angle, and changes the cornering forces only 0.1 to 0.5 g as a result. "That's less than the human body can feel," explained Vehicle Development Engineer Dave Coleman. In practice, G-Vectoring reduces the steering angle at turn-in, as well as the rate at which one turns the wheel. To demonstrate, Director of R&D Kelvin Hiraishi rode shotgun with us in a specially equipped Mazda6 that allowed him to turn G-Vectoring on or off at the push of a button (production cars will always have it on). Hiraishi had us drive a number of courses, including Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca itself, while an engineer measured our steering inputs with a laptop Matrix'd into the car's electronic brain. I drove the same course several times with the same car in the same conditions, with cruise control locked and the system turned on or off. Lo and behold, with G-Vectoring activated, the engineer's output graph showed that my steering inputs were indeed reduced ever so slightly. There were two times that G-Vectoring was markedly noticeable. The first on a turn with a minor banking toward the outside, and the second was during cornering over an artificially wet section of the course — in other words, when the car was at the limits of adhesion.
