Hampton, Virginia, United States

Up for auction is this ONE OWNER, Rare, 2004 Mazda Miata Turbo (MX5.) Rare Turbo charged version, 6-speed manual!!!!! The Miata belongs to a very good friend, who purchased it brand new, back in 2004. He is a filming director, doing commercials and trailers. The Miata was becoming too small for him carrying recording equipment etc every single day. He wasn't really ready to part with it just yet, but when I let him borrow a Mercedes, he instantly became hooked. Along with the Miata he handed me a thick folder containing service and repair records. It's way too many for me to go through and list here. What I can tell you is, we at Autobahn Auto started servicing the Miata when we first met 3 years ago. Since then we performed a few repairs such as new Alternator, Battery, a new fog light and lots of oil changes. All previous service and repairs had been done by Mazda dealerships and other places he traveled to film. I was asked to use my expertise and sell the Miata for him, so any questions you may have just ask me.
To get the Miata sales ready we had the car detailed. We also refurbished the headlights by using a technique only we do at Autobahn Auto. So no auto-parts store kits were used to redo the headlights. They were water sanded and clear coated with several layers. Then they were buffed. They will look like new 2 years ++++.
The Miata has a few minor flaws which I will explain to the best of my knowledge. Some years ago the left side was keyed and needed to be repainted. It was done by a Mazda dealership and most of the paint matches except the trunk lid at the time had suffered some fading due to age. I tried my best showing this in the photos, but it's really not too noticeable until you're standing two feet away. The other issue is the driver seat needs to upholstery. The bottom cushion is heavily cracked as you can see in the photo. That's the reason I left the seat cover on that seat. The check engine light is on and the code is the Oxygen sensor.

Otherwise the Miata looks great and she runs and drives AWESOME!. The AC is freezing cold and the heat will run you out of the car. Power door locks work as they should and so are all the other controls. The vinyl top was replaced just 2 years ago!!    




 


If I get a reasonable offer before the auction ends I will cancel all bids and sell the car. It is also for sale on our lot. If this is something you're interested in, don't wait for the auction because many of my listed cars sell before the actual auction ends!!!

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata firsthand impressions and notebook scribblings

Thu, 04 Sep 2014

In a temporarily repurposed airport hanger in Monterey, CA, the world caught its first glimpse of the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata tonight, and I was fortunate enough to attend in person along with my fellow auto media colleagues, Mazda execs, a couple hundred Miata devotees and, oddly, a fair number of Duran Duran fans. The klieg lights have dimmed, Simon Le Bon is no longer ringing in my ears, and I'm left to ponder what I've seen. I've scavenged my notes - and my Twitter feed - to give you some details and brief thoughts.
Fair Warning: I can't claim to be completely impartial (I own a second-generation NB and consider the Miata franchise to be one of but a few sacrosanct franchises in modern motoring), but I will share my honest first impressions of the new car, both good and bad.
Here are my notes:

Mazda refurbishing this NFL running back's 22-year-old daily driver

Thu, 10 Oct 2013

I don't actually care for the Washington Redskins (which is a good thing, considering the start to their season this year), but I love their running back, Alfred Morris. Why? Well, to start with, Morris helped deliver a dominating 10-3 season for my fantasy football team last year after a flash of prescience saw me pick him up off the waiver wire in Week 1 (hit me up on Twitter if you need fantasy sports insight, guys, I'm sort of like the Ruxin of Autoblog).
Morris is also pretty endearing because of his loyalty to his car, Bentley. Hold up - that's not to say the running back has splashed out on a Continental GT or a Flying Spur. No, Morris gave his much-loved 1991 Mazda 626 the tongue-in-cheek name "Bentley" while he was still a student at Florida Atlantic. One 1,613-rushing-yard rookie season and a $2.2-million contract later, and Morris is still using his Mazda as his daily driver. It might be easy to assume that the young player is simply being really prudent with all of his newfound wealth, but the guy really just has a thing for his five-speed-manual 626.
And Mazda, of course, loves the story of Morris' affection. In an effort to keep his 626 running strong and looking good, the company's Washington D.C.-area dealers have agreed to refurbish Bentley back to its original showroom freshness. Rather than spoil the classic (?) lines of the 626, the Mazda folks are essentially restoring the car for Morris. The cracked dash will be swapped out for a factory replacement, the engine and transmission given a thorough going-over and the whole vehicle generally made as fresh as Will Smith circa 1991. Bentley is expected to be completed and rolling through the capitol city by October 15, and in the meantime, Morris has been driving around in a new 2014 Mazda6 loaner car.

Mazda mulling furniture, designer goods in bid to command higher prices

Wed, 01 Oct 2014

Brands like Porsche and Ferrari make a mint every year by selling branded lifestyle goods like shoes, hats and even wilder items. Bugatti takes things to the extremes with things like its $84,000 belt buckle. These products not only make their respective companies some extra money, but they reaffirm their high-end design aspirations to wealthy buyers. However, the next firm possibly dipping its toe into this upscale pool is a bit more mass-market - Mazda.
That's right. The Japanese automaker best known among enthusiasts for its segment-defining Miata and rotary engines is considering its own line of luxury goods in the coming years called Mazda Design. The project is the brainchild of styling boss Ikuo Maeda, and according to Automotive News, he has backing from company CEO Masamichi Kogai. Although the green light isn't quite on yet, Maeda is already brainstorming. "Not only furniture, but I'd like to build a Mazda Design brand. That's my dream," he said to Automotive News.
The possible project is just one aspect of Mazda's move to become a near-premium brand. According to Automotive News, it wants to see higher transaction prices partially by offering more stylish design than its rivals. Launching a line of luxury goods is meant to communicate this new focus to customers.
