1999 Silver Miata on 2040-cars
Leslie, Arkansas, United States
|
I am selling a 1999 Miata with lots of extras. Most can be seen in photographs; otherwise I will elaborate upon. I replaced the factory radio with a Pioneer stereo system that has a CD/DVD player, hands free phone capability and navigation system in July of 2013. The stereo system was approximately $1,000.00. At the same time I replaced the factory speakers and had the windows tinted. The removable hard top has new window seal as well as bottom gasket. I have a cover and rack for the hard top which I am throwing in. These items are not shown in the pictures. I also have GarageStar bolt-on brackets for removable hard top. In case you are unfamiliar with these, they are designed to prevent a quick "grab and run". I have never gotten around to putting them on, so it just has the factory spring loaded latches. I have the original owner's manual, as well as the manual for the new stereo system. Whereas this does not have the leather interior, it does have a Nardi steering wheel. It has a Billet grill. The AC is cold, and the heat is hot! As can be seen in one of the pictures, there is some wear on the driver's seat. The current mileage is 192,403. At the time of the sale, mileage will probably be a bit higher, but not much. Even though, to the best of my knowledge, there is nothing seriously wrong with the vehicle mechanically, I realize the mileage is going to scare some people. That is why I have the low Buy It Now for a quick sale. As previously mentioned, this rides very firm, but there are no rattles, shimmies, vibrations, pulling, or any other negative "driving feel". MAINTENANCE: At 185,928 miles the tires were replaced as was the timing belt, all light bulbs, brake pads and slotted rotors. The tires that were put on are 205/45 R16. I BELIEVE factory tires were 185/60 R14 and an option was 195/50 R15. If I was 20 or 30, I would say these 16 inch wheels and tires are great; but they are REALLY, REALLY a firm ride which is tough on an old geezer like me! All of this cost $1,831.67. At 186,662 I had the cylinder head rebuilt at a cost of $1,563.45. Now that I spent all this money on mechanical things, I have decided the car is just too small for me, and recently purchased a Z 28 convertible. Therefore, I no longer need the Miata. I feel the pictures pretty much speak for themselves. I have several more pictures ready to go, so if you want to see anything from a different angle or in greater detail, let me know and I will email them to you. If someone would like to look at the vehicle before bidding, I am located about 100 miles north of Little Rock, Arkansas in the Ozarks. If you want the vehicle shipped, I will not make the arrangements, but I will work with your shipper in any way that I can. There are probably several things that I have forgotten to mention, so if you have any questions, I will answer them as completely as I can. A $200.00 non-refundable deposit by Paypal is required within 24 hours of auction's end. Balance of payment (either cashier's check, money order, or cash) must be received before car is released. Once car is paid for, I am willing to store it in my garage for a "REASONABLE" amount of time. This time can be discussed with buyer at time of sale. |

Mazda engineers urging execs for more RWD models
Wed, 02 Oct 2013According to Edmunds, Mazda engineers are pressuring the company to create more rear-wheel-drive models, in an effort to better differentiate itself from its rivals. This push is reportedly coming from middle and senior engineers within the company, and these folks at Mazda believe this rear-drive strategy would allow the automaker to produce more distinctive, fun to drive cars. Mazda discontinued the rear-drive (and rotary-engined) RX-8 a few years ago, leaving the MX-5 Miata as the company's only RWD offering.
As enthusiasts, we're fully on board with Mazda offering more rear-drive cars, but unsurprisingly, the company's top management isn't exactly keen on the idea - and with good reason. First and foremost, the cost associated with redesigning fresh architecture for new models would be very high, and considering the fact that Mazda hasn't exactly been raking in the dough lately, an expensive new venture like this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What's more, Mazda's latest front-drive models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - have been very well-received, and are helping the company gain sales momentum.
But that doesn't mean there aren't other options. Edmunds reminds us that Mazda is already partnering with Alfa Romeo on the next-generation Miata, and if this collaboration is successful, perhaps the relationship could bear additional fruit. After all, Alfa Romeo is said to be working on returning to its rear-wheel-drive roots, so Mazda's engineers might be able to make a case for more RWD goodness after all.

Mazda reveals new 'Game Changers' advertising campaign
Tue, 30 Apr 2013Looking to highlight its unique and sporty mindset, Mazda is getting ready to launch its biggest advertising campaign since "Zoom-Zoom" became its tagline in 2000. The new campaign, entitled "Game Changers," will begin in May, and rather than focusing on its sporty past - like it did with Zoom-Zoom early on - the new ads will look at recent advancements made in building its future, including Skyactiv technologies and its new diesel race program, both of which involve its excellent new Mazda6 sedan.
As a part of the ads, Mazda will showcase game changers from the sporting world, including Dick Fosbury who changed how competitors perform the high jump and Laird Hamilton, who redefined how surfers attacked big waves. It doesn't sound like Zoom-Zoom is going away, but "Game Changers" will definitely feature heavily in the Japanese automaker's marketing moving forward. A few examples of the new ad campaign are posted in our gallery, and the press release is available below.
