I am the original and so far the only owner of this 2002 Blazing Yellow Mica Special Edition Miata. In the year that these were made this car was one of only 1000 produced. The other special edition color that year was Titanium Gray of which there were 1500 produced. So first of all this car was rare to start with. I purchased it and drove it off the dealer's showroom floor for it's first trip (other than being put in there in the first place). Since that day it has been protected by a garage throughout the year and a garage and a car cover through the off season. It has only seen the rain fall once. That was the weatherman's fault, not mine. It has never gone out in the spring before the salt is all off the road, and I put it up for the year way before the salt hits the road. My intention when I purchased this car was to treat with the utmost love and care and have it later in my life as a collector car that I could take to car shows with me. My health and therefore, my financial situation calls for me to rethink some of my priorities. This gives some lucky person out there a chance to own a fantastic car that you can't just find out there every day. Believe me, I look frequently just for fun. (And I keep looking for a 2000 Evolution Orange Special Edition - also rare)
That being said, it is not what you might think is a great deal considering the cost. But from the research I keep trying to do I think my pricing is fair. And if you don't, obviously you won't be buying it yet. I am including in the purchase the original window sticker that was on the car when it was new. Also the extra set of keys. The vehicle is equipped with an engine immobilizer if someone tries to take it without the keys. It also has a perimeter shock sensor alarm. I received a gift from Mazda after my purchase which was a leather duffel bag with "feet". I have never used that and it still is in the original box it was shipped in. See, I was really in this for the long haul as a collector's item. I currently have the vehicle insured with Haggerty Insurance Co. for a replacement value of $20000. I got that value with just a few pictures of the car.
I didn't really know what all to take for pictures so if you would like to see something specific just let me know. Also, any questions let me know. I have had the vehicle serviced at the dealership where I bought it since 2002. The guys there enjoy seeing it come back every year looking like it did when it left. The last of the pictures of the car shows the only damage that is on it. The very first month I owned it I pulled a little to far into my garage and hit a planter. I put touch up paint on the spots I made on the bumper.
As far as picking up the car or having it delivered to you, I have the flexibility to help you work on that if you need help. So, thanks for looking and feel free to contact me.

Mini Cooper Countryman only small car to earn good grade in latest IIHS crash tests [w/video]
Wed, 30 Jul 2014
Competitors in the small-car segment didn't do nearly as well. Four vehicles earned "poor" grades.
Only one small car out of 12 tested earned a good grade in the latest round of crash-test results compiled by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The Mini Cooper Countryman received a "good" ranking on the organization's small-front overlap test.
Mazda CX-5 in auto-brake accident on Japanese test drive
Thu, 14 Nov 2013As we slowly march towards a world where our cars will drive for us, there will be mishaps. Systems will act up, not behave has intended or we'll simply forget to turn them on. We all remember when Volvo tested the S60's City Safety system. Now Mazda has had an issue of its own.
During a test of a Mazda CX-5's Smart City Brake Support on a dealership lot in Japan, a prospective customer and a dealership employee were injured when they hit a urethane barrier used for testing the system. According to Bloomberg, which spoke with the Saitama Prefectural Police, the impact with the barrier left the customer with an injured neck while the dealership employee suffered a fractured arm. Considering the injuries, we imagine this wasn't a small barrier.
"For any safety function, it's impossible to be 100-percent free of accidents. These technical functions aren't always the easiest to understand," IHS Automotive auto parts analyst, Hiroshi Ataka told Bloomberg.
Mazda halts Mazda3 sales for fuel tank problem
Tue, Oct 6 2015Mazda is issuing a stop sale and recall on 14,406 examples of the 2015-2016 Mazda3 in the US with build dates between May 21, 2015, and August 24, 2015, due to a possible fuel leak. There are no reports or accidents or injuries from this problem. According to the company, a defective fuel shut-off valve can allow gasoline to move from the tank and fill the charcoal emissions canister. If it gets too full, there can be a leak, which obviously carries the risk of a possible fire. The engine might stall, as well. Affected owners will be notified to bring their Mazda3 in "as soon as possible." Dealers will inspect the vehicles, and if a problem is found, the fuel tank and charcoal emissions canister will be replaced. During the downtime, customers will get a free rental or loaner car, as well. Those who are particularly concerned can also call Mazda roadside assistance to have their vehicle delivered for the check and possible repair. Related Video: Mazda Issues Stop Sale and Stop Delivery for Mazda3 Fuel Tank Recall WASHINGTON, DC (October 2, 2015) – Mazda Motor Corporation will conduct a Safety and Emission Recall Campaign for certain 2015-2016 Mazda3 vehicles (built from May 21, 2015 through August 24, 2015), which could have a safety-related problem. A defect in the fuel shut-off valve may allow fuel to flow from the fuel tank into the charcoal emissions canister. With this condition, the check engine light may illuminate, and if the fuel exceeds the canister capacity, fuel leakage could occur, increasing the risk of a fire and/or engine stalling. Approximately 14,270 vehicles in the U.S. and 136 vehicles in Puerto Rico are affected. Owners of subject vehicles will be notified by mail in early October. They will be informed to bring their vehicle to the nearest Mazda dealer as soon as possible. Dealers will inspect the fuel tank to determine if the defect exists on the vehicle. If the defect exists, the dealer will replace the fuel tank and charcoal canister at no cost to the customer. A rental or loaner vehicle will be provided at no cost to the owner, until the vehicle is repaired for this concern. If there are no concerns, the vehicle will be returned to the customer. Should a customer not want to drive the vehicle to the dealership, they may contact Mazda's 24-hour Roadside Assistance service at 800-866-1998 and have the vehicle picked up and delivered to the dealership. There have been no reports of accidents or injury related to this issue.
