I've just retired and need to match my out-go to my income.

I've enjoyed immensely owning this great car. I purchased it from a friend who bought it new. (He had just bought a Corvette and his wife said either the Miata or the Harley had to leave. Great for me that he chose the Miata, since I had no interest in the Harley)

I've enclosed a photo of the original window sticker showing the original list price of $28,775.00. (He actually paid more since this was the 1`st one sold in Kansas City). I've also included photos of the scratch the Harley made in the door, the wear on the seats (from where my belt rubbed getting in and out) and the scratches in the radio surround from where he had a mount for his XM receiver.

The car has been well maintained and adult driven with all maintenance schedules met. It has had Mobile 1 and now Royal Purple oil in the engine from the very start.

It is a true 10th Anniversary Edition vehicle: Medallion #1063 (Of 7500 world wide. 3750 in the US), Sapphire Blue Mica, Polished Alloy 15 inch wheels, special blue soft-top, Torsen limited-slip differential, Bilstein Shocks and sports suspension, 6-speed manual transmission, power assisted 4 wheel disc brakes, Power windows, locks, antenna, mirrors, 10th Anniversary blue floor mats, 2-tone blue/black sport bucket seats, steering wheel, & shift knob. (Note, shift knob has become loose on the shaft and spins, but does not come off), Stainless scuff plates, Bose Audio system w/AM/FM/CD stereo/clock and tweeters.

NOTE - NOTE - NOTE - NOTE

This car has been well maintained and adult driven HOWEVER!! It IS 15 years old. Therefore, there is NO warranty expressed or implied. It is being sold AS IS and WHERE IS. I wouldn't hesitate to set off cross-country in it, but can't make any kind of guarantee.
ALSO, it is being sold without reserve. Therefore, if you can't or don't want to purchase it. Do NOT bid.

You need to make a NON-REFUNDABLE $500 down payment via PayPal at the end of the auction with the balance due via Certified Check when you pick the car up. If you make arrangements for shipping, I will assist with delivery to the shipper with the balance of the payment due at that time..

Having said that, I will miss driving this fun, economical and reliable car.
Good luck bidding.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club and Launch Edition unveiled

Wed, Apr 1 2015

If you haven't been tempted enough already to place your order for a new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata, the Japanese automaker is sweetening the deal even further at the New York Auto Show this week with the debut of two new editions. Most enticing is the arrival of the new Club edition (pictured above), which brings with it a number of upgrades to Mazda's latest roadster. The MX-5 Miata Club comes with 17-inch gunmetal alloys, a limited-slip differential, Bilstein shocks, tower brace and a new spoilers front and rear. That is, when equipped with the six-speed manual. (The automatic is still available as well, but does without the diff, shocks and brace.) Buyers will even be able to upgrade to BBS alloys of the same size, Brembo front brakes and the aero kit previewed by the MX-5 Global Cup racer in Chicago. The Mazda Connect infotainment system comes standard, with seven-inch touchscreen, satellite radio, nine-speaker Bose audio... the works. The Club edition isn't the only new Miata being launched in Manhattan this week, though: so is the Launch Edition. Offered to the first 1,000 customers who place their orders for a new Miata in the US, the MX-5 Launch Edition is based on the Grand Touring trim level and comes in an exclusive combination of Soul Red paint with a tan leather interior. It even comes with a few do-dads to go along with it. Mazda is taking deposits of $500 for those first 1,000 units at www.longlivetheroadster.com, and details of both these upgraded Miatas can be found in the press releases below.

Lighter, smaller, quicker and more nimble than its predecessor, MX-5 has adopted Mazda's full suite of SKYACTIV Technology and KODO-Soul of Motion design. In the process, MX-5 has shed approximately 150 pounds from its predecessor, with a curb weight of 2,332 lbs. when equipped with SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual transmission (2,381 lbs. with the six-speed automatic transmission).

Masamichi Kogai new Mazda president and CEO

Fri, 10 May 2013

There's some executive rearranging going on in the top suite at Mazda Motor Corporation in Japan, with current CEO Takashi Yamanouchi telling reporters there "I'd like to hand over the work to younger people" now that the company has returned to profitability. Yamanouchi became CEO on November 19, 2008 of an independent Mazda that had to fight for its future in the immediate aftermath of the global financial crisis. What followed was four years of losses before finally getting back to black last year.
Masamichi Kogai (pictured) will be appointed the new president and CEO on June 25, pending approval at the company's annual general shareholders' meeting. Kogai assisted Seita Kanai with the production-efficiency initiative that Mazda called Mono Tsukuri Innovation, which worked to give export-dependent Mazda the best chance at profitability in spite of a rising yen. Kogai, lately in charge of production and purchasing, has been with the company since 1977 and worked in areas from R&D to logistics.
Kanai, who headed the Mono Tsukuri effort and was among the leadership on Skyactiv, will be promoted from executive vice president to vice chairman. Akira Marumoto will become executive VP of Mazda and assistant to new president Kogai. Yamanouchi will remain Chairman of the Board. There's a short press release below to make it official.

Mazda and Clemson collaborate on Deep Orange 3 concept

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

There are school projects, and then there's the Mazda Deep Orange 3 Concept Car, a one-off built by Clemson University automotive engineering students and designed by Frederick Naaman from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. Clemson students unveiled the chassis at the 2012 SEMA show in Las Vegas, although this is the first showing of the car fully clothed.
Sporting a unique hybrid powertrain that can automatically switch between front-, rear-, and all-wheel drive. A gas-powered engine handles the fronts, while the rears are powered by an electric motor and a battery pack. The Deep Orange 3 also has an unusual three-plus-three layout, making it a much cooler version of your parent's old Vista Cruiser. The exterior sheetmetal clearly follows Mazda's established design language, and looks like it could easily pass for a five-door version of the Shinari Concept. It really is a great looking vehicle.
The Deep Orange 3 was part of Clemson's graduate-level auto engineering program, and is a regular partnership between the east coast school and the Pasadena-based design college's students. Clemson, Art Center and Mazda will be showing the Deep Orange 3 at the Center for Automotive Research Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI, from August 5 to August 8.
