Up for auction here is a 1991 Mazda Miata convertible.  Always adult driven.

The Good:
-Engine runs fine, no issues here.  Starts every time, idles normally, revs smoothly.  Still averaging 30-34 MPG on country roads.  No smoke or weird noises.
-Transmission is working fine as well.  Shifts are crisp and positive.  Clutch was replaced at 104,000 miles and works great.
-Brakes are in good shape.  Recent new front calipers and rotors.  New brake lines to the rear about a year ago. Stops straight.
-The interior is in pretty good shape, not perfect but pretty nice for a 23-year old daily driver.
-New alternator last year.
-New battery in 2012
-New fuel pump in 2011.

The Bad:
-It's going to need a front end alignment.  It veers a little to the right.  
-The air conditioning will need a charge.
-The power steering is not functional.  It's drive-able but takes some arm strength when going slow.  The pump will need to be replaced if you don't like the workout.  No fan belt noises though.
-The front tires should probably be replaced soon.  One of the back tires is less than a year old and the other might be around three years old.  
-The oil pressure gauge is not functional.

The Ugly:
-The headlights don't sit right in the down position so I just leave them up.  Could be an easy fix, I don't know. I haven't really been bothered by it.
-While the top is in generally good condition, the back window is not.  It is going to need to be replaced.  Look at the pictures.
-Leather shifter boot is torn.
-It's rusty.

This has been a very dependable and fun car for over ten years.  I have had very few problems with it and most of the issues are wear related.  The motor has never been modified.  The car has never been raced.  No boyracer fast and furious nonsense.  Regular oil changes with full synthetic.  If you have any questions, feel free to email me. I would encourage you to try and see the car before making a bid.  There will be no refunds.  This is a 23-year old car so know what you're bidding on.  You must come and pick up the car.  It is completely drive-able so no need for a trailer.  But I can help you get it on a trailer if that is how you want to pick it up.  I can hold the car as long as it is paid in full.  Talk to me.  I am quite free until October 1st.  Then I get busy.  Try to get the car before then.  Thanks for looking!

Honda sees sales up but profit sliding 16 percent in 2017-18

Fri, Apr 28 2017

TOKYO - Honda forecasts a 16 percent fall in operating profit for the current financial year as the Japanese automaker sees higher auto sales being offset by a stronger yen and research-and-development costs. Japan's No. 3 automaker said it expects an operating profit of 705 billion yen ($6.34 billion) in the current FY2018, down from 840.7 billion yen posted in the fiscal year just ended, and lower than an average estimate of 850.8 billion yen from 23 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S. It sees a 14 percent slide in net profit to 530.0 billion yen this year, down from 616.5. Honda's projections are based on a forecast that the yen will average 105 yen to the U.S. dollar through next March, stronger than the 108 yen rate in the year just ended.BUT CAR SALES ARE UP At the same time, there's good news as Honda expects its global vehicle sales to edge up 1 percent to 5.08 million this year, bolstered by growth in Asian sales to 2.06 million units, beating out North America to become Honda's top market as more Chinese drivers flock to its cars. The company expects to sell 1.92 million vehicles in North America, 2.5 percent less than the year just ended as it struggles to sell sedans including the Accord, which have fallen out of fashion in the past few years. Honda has been ramping up production of SUVs to keep up with strong demand for larger models in the United States, although overall vehicle sales show signs of slowing following a boom cycle after the global financial crisis. Mazda is taking a similar strategy, announcing on Friday it would expand production of SUV crossover models at home, while equipping overseas plants to enable more flexible production of models according to market needs. Japan's No. 5 automaker forecast a 19 percent jump in operating profit for the current financial year as it expects higher sales volumes, particularly in North America, to help it recover from last year's profit slump.A CONSERVATIVE OUTLOOK Executive Vice President Seiji Kuraishi acknowledged that Honda's expected currency hit of 95 billion yen was based on a "conservative" yen forecast, adding that growing costs to create next-generation cars would also impact earnings. "Our costs are rising to develop new technologies which will be needed in the future, like automated driving functions and electric cars," he told reporters at a results briefing.

Mazda rumored to bring rotary-powered RX-9 concept to Tokyo

Fri, Oct 16 2015

Stop us if you've heard this one before: Mazda will bring a rotary-powered sports car to the next big auto show. Okay, so we stopped for a second, but the show must go on. Following an official teaser image (shown above) late last month, Motoring.com.au has what it claims are renderings of the curvy, two-door coupe – called the RX-9 – that Mazda will bring to the Tokyo Motor Show later this month. The images show a far softer styling than Mazda's current crop of Kodo-inspired vehicles, while the overall look screams of a modern-day Cosmo Sport, the Japanese brand's first rotary-powered vehicle. And though that connection alone might be enough to justify whisperings of a successor to the RX-7 and RX-8, Motoring claims there will be an even more overt sign of this concept's power source. "Look to the Cosmo Sport," an inside source told the Aussie website, signaling that the Mazda stand would feature the vintage two-door. "The Cosmo has no earthly reason for being there unless..." The rotary rumor, if it comes true, won't exactly be what we're use to. While Motoring brings up the previously reported 16X – a 1.6-liter two-rotor – it builds on our 2013 report. According to the Aussies, the new engine could feature a two-stage electric turbocharger, be paired with a hybrid powertrain, offer up to 450 horsepower, and we're guessing, be hilariously complicated. Joking aside, it sounds like Mazda's goals here are admirable. A rotary-equipped sports car that could counter the 1.3-liter RX-8 engine's appetite for fuel and improve on its mediocre low and mid-range torque would be interesting indeed. As for those renderings, Motoring has front and rear three-quarter images. Comparing the rear with our original teaser leaves the look open to interpretation, but after seriously upping the exposure on the teaser (thanks Photoshop), the taillights and overall profile shape look to be a spot-on match. In front, the long hood shares some Kodo elements, like the headlights and grille, but its undeniable coupe shape – a long hood and very short deck – are far more organic and, dare we say, calm, than Mazda's other vehicles. You can take a closer look at the renderings over at Motoring's website. Do that, and then head back and let us know what you think of these RX-9 rumors. Is Mazda finally going to be bringing a rotary back to market?

Mazda teases CX-4 for the Beijing Motor Show

Mon, Mar 14 2016

Mazda will unveil the CX-4 crossover at the Beijing Motor Show in late April, and the company's single teaser image (above) suggests the CUV might borrow styling cues from the larger Koeru concept. Mazda kept details about the CX-4 light for now but says in the announcement, "this is a new type of crossover SUV designed to help customers live more creative lives." The teaser photo offers some hints about the design. For example, the rear pillar comes to a point and features chrome accents, which are elements from the Koeru and production CX-9. The arching roof rail suggests a coupe-like shape because it arcs downward to the hatchback. The name also hints that this model slots between the CX-3 and CX-5 in the lineup, but the CX-4 appears to prioritize style over utility. We can't wait to get a better look because this picture doesn't offer much detail. The company will also show versions of the Mazda3 and Mazda6 for the China Touring Car Championship at the Beijing show.
