There is no reserve. Do not worry about your valuable attention being wasted, the auction will not be ended early. At the end of this listing, someone, possibly you, will be happier by a factor of one Miata.
Mechanical: The engine starts easily with no smoke, rattles, or ticks. It runs smoothly from idle to redline, and has solid oil pressure at all times. I have always used the appropriate Mobil1 in the crankcase, transmission, and differential. The ignition consumables (plugs & wires) have about 3,000 miles on them, and are oem NGK parts. The injectors are a stock set from a 1999 Miata, and have been matched and flow tested. This car dyno'd just a little more than a hundred horsepower to the tires, which is consistent with a healthy engine. It is equipped with the Torsen Limited-Slip differential, which works perfectly and quietly. The only modification to the drivetrain is a stainless-steel Borla cat-back exhaust, which not only sounds great, but weighs about half as much as the factory setup. The A/C system worked fine, but I realized this was a convertible, so I removed what I considered 30lbs of dead weight. I will include at no additional charge, a Goodyear timing belt component kit and OEM water pump. Suspension: Within the last 1000 miles I have installed a Flyin' Miata's V-Maxx Adjustable Coilover/Strut setup. It also has a set of their adjustable sway bars, with adjustable end links. Brakes: 5000 miles ago I replaced all four calipers, all four rotors, all the pads, and all the fluid. Electrical: 12 months ago I installed a 500cca Lithium-Ion battery, that weighs 3 lbs. The Stereo system is terrific. It has a "Heavy-Duty" series Jensen head unit, meaning it is moisture and dirt resistant, and can be read easily in direct sunlight. There are USB and mini-jack inputs on the front of the CD player. I removed the interior of the car and re-wired the door speakers directly to a 75w-rms/channel amplifier in the trunk. The door speakers are just the nicest set of Polk 6.5" separates you can find. There is no distortion, even at surprisingly high volume. Exterior: The body is a mixed bag. I keep it garaged at all times. There has never been any rust. All of the body panels are original, and all the paint is original, and I wax it often. As you may know, the hood is aluminum. It has some hail dings in it that the rest of the car doesn't have, due to the softer metal. On the passenger side there is some damage that I have tried to highlight in pictures. The plastic rear panel that goes around the tail lights has two cracks, also seen in the pictures. The front fascia has a crack on the passenger side, I took pictures of that too. The fabric on the convertible top is better than nothing, but basically shot. Interior: Very clean. No odors. No stains. No burns. I replaced the plastic bezel surrounding the gauge cluster with a new OEM piece, since they apparently crack and rattle. That shifter is a genuine MOMO knob that fits tightly to the stock shaft. The steering wheel is a very nice NOS piece I found three years ago, as the leather on the original one was cracking. The only bad news is that when I installed the aftermarket tweeters in the doors, the vinyl on the door cards split on one side, illustrated in the pictures. The drivers window regulator requires significantly more effort than the passenger one, not sure what's going on there. There is a four inch long crack in the windshield down close by the dash. It's been there three years and hasn't spread at all. Frankly, I kind of forgot it's there. Rolling Stock: If I have to explain why these are awesome, this may not be the car for you. The wheels and tires have ~500 miles on them. They are genuine ATS 15" Cup wheels, wrapped in 225-width BFGoodrich Rival tires. They do not rub under any circumstances. The auction winner will be entitled to purchase some additional goodies at very attractive prices 1) Flyin' Miata Butterfly Brace and Frame rail kit & strut tower brace signed by Keith Tanner. $600 2) Flyin' Miata coolant reroute kit. $200 3.)Stock 14" Aluminum wheels this car was delivered from the factory with $75 Ask all the questions you want. If your question is dumb, or I answered it already in the description, I reserve the right to respond sarcastically. I don't want to sell this car at all, so at least grant me that. There will be no surprises. I have been selling on ebay for over a decade, including other vehicles. I'm willing to help with shipping, or if you want to fly-&-drive. Don't be the least bit concerned about making it home. This car will do it. I posted some more photos on my face book page: Search "The Vehicle Rescue", and you'll find a crap ton of pictures in the album entitled "Sleepy". |

Mazda delays US launch of Skyactiv-D engine
Thu, 09 Jan 2014Japanese automakers haven't lead the charge towards diesel power in the same way as, say, the Germans have. But Mazda is out to change that. It has been following Audi's lead on the racetrack with oil-burning racecars right here in America, and will soon translate that excitement to the road by introducing its Skyactiv-D engine in North America. It just won't happen as soon as we expected.
Mazda announced today that, while its diesel engine meets current emissions requirements, the company has decided once again to push back an introduction originally slated to kick off in the Spring. According to the brief statement below, Mazda wants to take more time to find "the right balance between fuel economy and Mazda-appropriate driving performance."
In other words, the Zoom-Zoom brand apparently thinks its diesel engine doesn't deliver the zoom-zoom American drivers would expect, so we'll have to wait just a little bit longer. Details to follow closer to launch, whenever that will ultimately take place.
Mazda expands scope of vehicles affected by Takata airbag recall to 330k
Fri, Dec 12 2014Earlier this week a Reuters report indicated that Mazda was considering a nationwide expansion of its recall for vehicles equipped with Takata airbag inflators. The company has now confirmed said expansion, with the vehicle count jumping from 86,770 to 330,000 affected in the US. As before, the affected vehicles are Mazda6 and RX-8 cars from the 2004 to 2008 model years. Mazda reports that Takata has tested a "large number of inflators removed from Mazda vehicles" and not found any to be "non-compliant" as of yet. With that said, the company also reports in its statement that one 2005 Mazda6, located in Florida, has been identified as having had an "abnormal" deployment of the driver's side airbag. For what it's worth, though the company's statement references the Takata inflator issue as a proper recall, it is calling its own program of notification a "Safety Improvement Campaign" for the moment. Find the full, if brief, Mazda press release in the form below. UPDATED MAZDA STATEMENT REGARDING TAKATA AIRBAGS Dec 11, 2014 WASHINGTON, DC (December 11, 2014) – In addition to the actions announced on December 4, 2014, as discussed in a separate document, Mazda today announced the following steps in the Takata recall: Mazda will institute a nationwide Safety Improvement Campaign of 2004-2008 model-year Mazda6 and RX-8 models equipped with certain Takata airbag inflators. The nationwide Safety Improvement Campaign will cover the driver's-side airbag inflator, as Mazda has not made a safety defect determination at this time. This action will support us to gather additional parts for examination and to promote customer satisfaction and safety. There are approximately 330,000 vehicles included in this Safety Improvement Campaign in the United States So far, Takata has tested a large number of inflators removed from Mazda vehicles, and NONE have been found to be non-compliant at this time One vehicle – a 2005 Mazda6 located in Florida – has been identified as having experienced an abnormal driver's-side airbag deployment. Mazda has worked closely with NHTSA on this situation Mazda will participate in the independent, industry-wide joint testing program for Takata airbag inflators For history, on December 4, 2014, Mazda announced: It would expand the area of the high-temperature, high-humidity region recall to include the Gulf Coast states.
Editors' Picks March 2024: Refreshed Acura TLX, the Mazda CX-90 and more
Mon, Apr 1 2024This month, a wide variety of body styles and powertrain propositions earn Editors' Picks status. The brand-new Mazda CX-90 has impressed us in many forms, but that comes as no surprise. The Tonale from Alfa may not be a super-hot performance SUV like the Stelvio Quadrifoglio, but it's still captured our love. And for those wishing to remain lower to the ground, the V60/V60 Cross Country bring style to the limited pie that is the wagon market. Lastly, Acura updates its TLX, and the package only gets better. In case you missed previous Editors' Picks posts, here’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary in their respective segments get an EditorsÂ’ Pick designation. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. You'll find the entire list of Editors' Picks at this link here, which we keep updated as cars are either added or dropped from the list. The vehicles youÂ’ll find below consist of every car we rated in March that earned an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2024 Mazda CX-90 2024 Mazda CX-90 PHEV Premium Plus View 70 Photos Quick take: The driver's three-row SUV. Enthusiasts who need space should seek out the CX-90. It translates Mazda's enthusiast DNA into a people hauler. Score: 8 What it competes with: Honda Pilot, Kia Telluride, Jeep Grand Cherokee L, Chevy Traverse, Subaru Ascent, Ford Explorer, Toyota Highlander, Mazda CX-9, Kia Sorento, Buick Enclave, Nissan Pathfinder, VW Atlas Pros: Lovely to drive inline-six; premium interior; will make you forget you're driving a family hauler Cons: Limited third-row and cargo space for the segment; PHEV is rough around the edges From the editors: News Editor Joel Stocksdale — "With excellent driving dynamics, classy interiors, strong powertrains and good value, the CX-90 should be high on anyone's shopping list, whether they're looking at mainstream or upscale brands. It's a strong competitor in a big field. The available interiors put it on par with some real upscale brands. It's not perfect, but it's very good, and it's a good sign for future Mazdas." Road Test Editor Zac Palmer — "There's little doubt that the CX-90 is the affordable three-row SUV for enthusiasts, and I think the inline-six is likely your best bet.
