Hello to all ebay shoppers! I am selling my 1995 Mazda Miata M Edition. I am the second owner, with a clear title in hand. I purchased this car from the original owner in Houston, TX. The original owner had the timing belt, water pump, and valve cover gasket done at 113,000 miles (photo of engine shows gates sticker on intake showing the date the timing belt was changed). The car is equipped with a torsen lsd differential (even power to both rear wheels, diff shown in photo). Since I have purchased the car I have done several maintenance items myself.

What I have done:

Exedy Clutch kit $200
Exedy lightweight flywheel $350
Replaced all spark plugs $20
Replaced spark plug wires $40
Installed JVC Radio with hd radio and ipod tagging (Use to work in audio shop so the wiring has been done correctly, not by a kid) $100
Installed Alpine door speakers $100
Installed stance coilovers $1,300
Replaced all four tires $300
Replaced all four brake pads and rotors $400
Replaced complete exhaust system with magnaflow system $350
Rebuilt both driver and passenger door panel $250

Over $3,400 invested in vehicle (not including labor)

The car runs great, needs no mechanical attention. Feel free to have it inspected. I have all records in hand. The stance coilovers take an already great handling car, and make it even better. The coilovers have 16 settings for damping (soft to firm, one of the adjustment knobs is shown in a photo). The height is adjustable from slammed to the ground to an inch under stock height. Plenty of options. 

Cons:
Top is in average shape, does not leak, however is faded a little
Paint reflects the age of the vehicle

After finishing all the mechanical repairs I was going to redo the exterior. I have taken a lot time getting the car back to 10/10 mechanical shape. I would drive this car anywhere in its current condition. If you are looking for car that can be daily driven, but still have fun and enjoy than this is your car. I have set my reserve price based on the current market value and condition so it is very fair. The auto check shows four owners but I am the second, the first owner leased the vehicle from mazda, then purchased it from them. He then moved to Huntsville (50 miles north of Houston) and had to get another title because he lost the original title he had. Please feel free to call or text (prefer text) me anytime. 817-372-0567

Check back often because I will be adding several photos within the next day.


No refunds, and there is no warranty. This car is for sale locally so if it sells locally I will take down this ebay auction. A $300 deposit will be required through paypal within 24 hours of the auction ending and the car must be picked up within 5 business days. The remainder of the balance must be paid by certified check (check must clear my bank before car is released), or cash. I do encourage picking the car up in person. Mechanically perfect to drive across country. I will do my best to accommodate you and if you would like to fly in I can pick you up from the local airport.

Mazda and Toyota formally announce plans to 'make cars better'

Wed, May 13 2015

Following Monday's report that Toyota and Mazda could be expanding their cooperation, the two Japanese automakers have made it official, issuing a joint press release announcing a "mutually beneficial long-term partnership" that will "make cars better." The two companies will set up a joint committee to figure out the strengths and weaknesses of each party. As we explained yesterday, that likely means Mazda will benefit from Toyota's plug-in-hybrid and fuel-cell tech, while the world's largest automaker can take advantage of the Zoom-Zoom automaker's line of efficient Skyactiv engines. "I am delighted that our two companies can share the same vision and work together to make cars better. I can think of nothing more wonderful than showing the world – together – that the next 100 years of cars will be just as fun as the first," Toyota President Akio Toyoda said in the attached joint statement. Mazda President and CEO Masamichi Kogai echoed that sentiment, saying: "I hope that by working together to make cars better, we can raise the value of cars in the eyes of consumers while also enhancing the manufacturing capabilities of our home, Hiroshima, and all the communities we are involved in as well." Scroll down for the official joint press release. Toyota and Mazda Team Up to Make Cars Better Tokyo, Japan, May 13, 2015-Toyota Motor Corporation and Mazda Motor Corporation today entered an agreement to build a mutually beneficial long term partnership. By leveraging the resources of both companies to complement and enhance each other's products and technologies, the partnership will result in more appealing cars that meet the diverse needs and tastes of customers all over the world. A joint committee will now be set up to evaluate how best to utilize each company's respective strengths. The committee will encourage broad and meaningful collaboration across a range of fields, including environmental and advanced safety technologies. Marking the agreement, Toyota President Akio Toyoda said: "As evidenced by their SKYACTIV Technologies and KODO-Soul of Motion design, Mazda has proven that it always thinks of what is coming next for vehicles and technology, while still managing to stay true to its basic carmaking roots. In this way, Mazda very much practices what Toyota holds dear: making ever-better cars. I am delighted that our two companies can share the same vision and work together to make cars better.

Even Ferrari swept up in latest Takata recall expansion

Fri, May 27 2016

The scope of Takata's deadly airbag problems continues to widen. Eight manufacturers announced recalls Friday that affect more than 12 million vehicles, according to documents filed with federal regulators. The automakers include Honda, which is recalling 4.5 million units, Fiat Chrysler with 4.3 million, Toyota with 1.65 million, and Subaru, which is recalling almost 400,000. Some of these cars include the Saab 9-2x and Pontiac Vibe that Toyota and Subaru made for General Motors. Mazda will recall 730,000 vehicles and Nissan has 400,000 affected units. The smallest numbers were posted by Mitsubishi, with 38,000 Lancers manufactured from 2006 to 2007, and as a noteworthy high-end manufacturer, Ferrari is calling back 2,800 vehicles. These are all US-market cars. Beyond America, the Japanese Transport Ministry has announced seven million additional vehicles will be recalled, which means 19.6 million vehicles across the globe are affected by recalls announced. The defects have been traced to an insufficiently manufactured airbag inflator, which lacks a drying agent that would prevent the inflators from deteriorating over time. Thirteen deaths have been linked to the faulty airbags, which have become unstable and are prone to exploding and showering vehicle occupants with lethal amounts of metal shrapnel. A private equity firm, KKR & Co., has been named in a possible buyout of the struggling Takata.

Mazda2 successor to ride atop shortened CX-5 platform

Fri, 31 May 2013

Mazda, looking to make the most of its new, lightweight Skyactiv vehicle architecture, will allegedly use a version of the CX-5 crossover's platform to underpin its next-generation Mazda2 hatchback, according to a report from Just-Auto.com. Of course, the Mazda2 is a much smaller vehicle than its larger CUV stablemate, so some serious chopping will no doubt be in order when it comes time to engineer the replacement for the company's smallest hatch.
Currently, the CX-5 and the sleek new Mazda6 share many of the same platform components, and this architecture will already be scaled down to support the next-generation Mazda3 sedan and hatchback, which will debut later this year. Just-Auto.com states that all of Mazda's remaining front-wheel-drive vehicles will eventually switch to reworked versions of this Skyactiv platform, including the replacement for the larger CX-9 crossover.
Also of note, Mazda will reportedly be switching to shorter, four-year lifecycles for its vehicles. This means that the newly launched Mazda6 will be replaced for the 2016 calendar year, with a refresh coming sometime in 2014. That said, vehicles with platforms supplied by other automakers (like the upcoming MX-5 Miata replacement that will share its underpinnings with an Alfa Romeo product) will not necessarily follow this four-year rule.
