I am considering selling my 2002 Mazda Miata LS. This car is a great example of an unmolested original Miata. The ONLY things that are not stock on this car are the wheels. They are the Racing Hart 17" wheels from a 2005 Mazda Speed. I do not have the originals. Other than that this car is as-equipped from the factory. The tires are brand new (205/40/ZR17 Falkens), with less than 300 miles on them. I do not have a hard top for this car.
The car has less than 38k original miles on it. Yes, I'm sure they are original, I purchased the car from the original owner and the mileage has been documented. The title reads "actual mileage". It has never been in an accident.
The car runs great, shifts smoothly and stops great. The AC is ice cold. The power windows, locks and mirrors all work as they should. The cruise works. The fog lamps work. The rear glass in the convertible top has defrost that works. It comes with 2 factory keys and 2 key-less Fobs with security, trunk release and panic buttons. I have the original owners manual in it's case and it's in nice condition. I have the original window sticker (over 27k MSRP) The top is great, no leaks. The seals are original but still in good shape. The boot appears to be unused, all the snaps work and there are no tears. The dash is perfect, no cracks or fading. The Bose radio sounds great, I have not tested the in-dash CD Player. The power antenna works.
I wouldn't call the interior spotless, but I challenge you to find a nicer one outside of a museum.
Here are the condition issues with this car.
1: The biggest issue is the paint. There are plenty of nicks, chips, scratches, door dings, scuffs and touch-ups etc. The pictures ARE of this car, taken on 9/22/2013. And it does look that good, at that distance.
2: There are a few scuffs on the outer edges of the wheels.
3: There is wear, not wear through, on the drivers seat bolster. This mostly amounts to discoloration.
4: There are a few of the LEDs in Radio display that are faded or burned out. Every function of the radio works as it should, and after driving awhile, some seem to come back on.
The third owner of this vehicle will appreciate that there will be no joy rides of this car. I expect that a buyer will want to drive the car to verify it's condition. That's fine. However, to test drive the car, I require cash in hand to complete the sale when we get back. I will accept cash only. No checks of any kind. I am not interested in trades. I have a clean, clear Florida title in my name, at my current address, in-hand to sign over to the new owner.

Mazda Miata 25th anniversary display is roadster heaven on Earth
Thu, 17 Apr 2014As part of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the MX-5 Miata, Mazda has put together a rather large display at its New York Auto Show booth, showing off significant models from the diminutive roadsters history.
The display represents a healthy split of volume models, with cars 14, 15 and 17 sitting alongside cars 500,000 and 700,000. There are also more than a few concept cars in the offering, such as the Super20 Concept we drove a few years back, as well as older offerings, like the Club Racer concept from the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the M-Speedster from the 1995 Chicago show and the M Coupe from the 1996 New York Auto Show.
We've put together a gallery of images of the historical Miata display, which you can view above. Take a look and then let us know which of Mazda's awesome roadsters is your favorite.
Takashi Yamanouchi to retire as Mazda chairman
Mon, 12 May 2014Takashi Yamanouchi has been with Mazda for a long time. He signed on with the Japanese automaker in April 1967 - one month after graduating from Keio University - and rose through the ranks over the years. By 1996 he was named to the company's board of directors. In 2008 he was named president and CEO, an office he held until 2013, after which he handed over the day-to-day reins to Masamichi Kogai and took up the seat at the head of the board room to serve as the company's chairman. But now, after 47 years working for Mazda, Yamanouchi-san is retiring at the age of 69.
During his tenure as CEO and then as chairman, Yamanouchi was credited with growing Mazda's business despite unfavorable fluctuations in exchange rates, opening the company's first plant in Mexico, and spearheading the development of Mazda's Skyactiv technologies and Kodo design language.
In his place, current vice chairman Seita Kanai will take over as chairman. The changing of the guard will take place after the annual shareholders' meeting on June 24.
Next Mazda MX-5 Miata headed for 2015 Chicago debut
Fri, 17 Jan 2014Twenty-six years after it was introduced at the 1989 Chicago Auto Show, the much anticipated fourth generation Mazda MX-5 Miata will meet the press at the 2015 Chicago show. A piece in Autocar refines some of the details on the larger, lighter Miata that a Mazda insider has said will be "our best-looking car ever."
The company has relented on the quest for the metric tonne, the 1000-kilogram (2,200-pound) target too difficult to achieve in light of cost constraints. You can still expect it to lose a generous dollop of weight - Autocar says a curb weight of 1,100 kg (2,420 pounds) will still make it the lightest in its class. And Mazda will be stressing a fun driving experience through light weight and a modest amount of naturally-aspirated horsepower. Engine capacities of 1.5 and 2.0 liters are expected. Sounds familiar (and good), right?
The Miata's interpretation of Kodo design will be veer from that found on the Mazda3 and Mazda6, with "very clean and simple" lines marking out "more muscular proportions" and elongated bodywork on a longer wheelbase. A stretched engine bay will make room for the current Skyactiv engine and perhaps the future Skyactiv 2 powerplants, initial reports suggesting there could be a 30-percent increase in fuel economy from the moment it arrives.
