I am reluctantly selling my 2011 Mazda MX-5 Special Edition PRHT. This car is in near mint condition, and the new owner will be getting $3,000 worth of aftermarket goodies. Kelley Blue Book value is $26,000.
I am the third owner of the car. The original owner drove it for a short while before trading it in for something bigger. The second owner sold it to me with 7,200 miles on it, and he sold it to buy a touring motorcycle. I have had the car since February '12 and the car now registers 11,800 miles and counting. I have driven a '93 Miata for the past 15 years, and I bought this car as a replacement. One thing led to another and I ended up restoring the '93, investing much more money than I had originally planned. After lots of agonizing, I have decided that it is not financially viable to keep both cars. This is my only reason for selling it. I will probably regret it.
This car is awesome. Only 750 special edition units were produced. It is fully loaded......Power Retractable Hard Top (PRHT), Premium Package (Bluetooth, Satellite Radio, Xenon Headlights, Key-less entry/start, Electronic Stability Control), Suspension Package (Bilstein Shocks, Limited Slip Differential, Sport Suspension), Leather Wrapped steering wheel/parking brake handle, Gray Leather seats, Gray door trim, Chrome air vents/instrument cluster surrounds. Sparkling Black Mica paint is gorgeous and sexy.
6-Speed manual transmission shifts smooth as silk. New Mobil 1 synthetic oil changed in last 200 miles. Bumper to bumper Mazda factory warranty through July 2014.
$3k extras include.......3M Clear Bra paint protection ($750), Ziebart window tinting ($250), Magnaflow sport exhaust ($500), Dynamat noise reducer under hood and in doors ($500), Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires ($700), Zunsport front grill cover ($160), Rho Plate license plate mount ($60), Craven Speed Stubby antenna ($30), DIY lumbar support ($40), Voodoo engraved gear shift knob ($60).
No dings or dents. The exterior paint is immaculate - protected by 3M Clear Bra and regular hand washes/waxes. Interior is flawless. Leather seats regularly cleaned and conditioned.

2014 Mazda3 configurator zoom-zooms to life
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The 2014 Mazda3 is probably going to be on a lot of shopping lists, thanks to its striking good looks, clean interior treatment, fuel economy and driving character. If it happens to be on your personal list of new cars to test, you'll be happy to see that the configurator for Mazda's newest product has officially gone online.
In terms of build-your-own web items, configuring a 3 isn't much of a departure from the rest of the Mazda range. Most of the work comes from choosing one of the three trim levels - Sport, Touring and Grand Touring - and selecting either the 155-horsepower, 2.0-liter, Skyactiv four-cylinder or its larger sibling, the 184-horsepower, 2.5-liter, Skyactiv four. From there, a simple range of color and interior finishes are available, before a slim list of packages, options and accessories. Really, Mazda's made it easy to get through this build process.
Click on over to the configurator and take a look at the options, colors and prices for Mazda's newest five-door hatchback.
Mazda recalls 109k Tribute models for rust issue
Fri, 18 Apr 2014The Mazda Tribute is being hit with a similar recall as its platform-mate the Ford Escape underwent a few weeks ago. Mazda is recalling 109,000 Tributes from model years 2001 to 2004. On the trucks, the subframe can rust from road salt, potentially causing the lower control arm to detach. If this happens, a loss of steering control could occur.
Mazda is adding a reinforcement crossbrace for added strength on the affected models. The recall covers Tributes currently registered in or originally sold in 20 northern states and Washington, DC, where road salt is used.
The reinforcement braces aren't available yet to do the repair. Mazda will send a letter in May to owners of affected vehicles that will inform them of the problem, and a second letter telling them when the parts will be ready. Scroll down to read the full recall press release.
Alfa Romeo takes Spider in-house, Mazda-Fiat roadster partnership not dead
Sat, Dec 20 2014It's officially off. Following a report in March of this year that the marriage of Mazda and Alfa Romeo to produce a MX-5-based Spider was in trouble, the Italians have confirmed that it will take development in-house. "As far as the Spider goes, the final version is of course no longer the two-seater FCA co-developed with Mazda but a derivative of Project Giorgio," Maserati and Alfa Romeo brand boss Harald Wester told Car. For those not in the know, Project Giorgio is Alfa's codename for the rear-drive platform that will underpin the next-generation Spider, not to mention the replacement for the 159 sedan and a few other products. All is not lost for the Japanese-Italian partnership, though. "The Far East import will probably find a new home with Fiat-Abarth," Wester told Car. Yes, you read that correctly, Mazda is still working with FCA, and the result will eventually end up with Abarth's scorpion badge. If anything, we're more excited over this news than the idea of an Alfa MX-5. But we want to know what you think – would you rather Alfa build a new Spider on the Miata's bones, or does an MX-5 Abarth sound like more fun? Have your say in Comments.
