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!

Mazda books first yearly profit in half-decade, NA still a drag

Tue, 30 Apr 2013

Automotive News reports Mazda has posted its first annual profit in five years. The company made $364.3 million in the last fiscal year, following a $1.14 billion loss the year prior. Operating profit also jumped up by $91.3 million to $572.8 million, thanks in part to a revenue increase of 8 percent to $23.42 billion.
But the news isn't all rays of sunshine. North America continues to be a problem for Mazda where the automaker posted yet another loss. The manufacturer lost $519.1 million last year, up from $427.8 million the year prior. While the launch of the CX-5 helped see US sales increase by 2 percent to 273,000 vehicles, the region as a whole bought up 372,000 units. Mazda had predicted closer to 380,000 units.
Even so, Mazda says it should have North America back in the black by next year, with the company forecasting a sales increase of 11 percent to 415,000 units in the region. That's thanks in part to a boost from the redesigned Mazda6 sedan.

Weekly Recap: Mazda's rotary revival ignites Tokyo Motor Show

Sat, Oct 31 2015

Forty-eight years ago Mazda pioneered rotary engines in the Cosmo Sport. Mazda then honed the technology, won with it on the racetrack, and made it one of its signature features. If you're an enthusiast, rotary was a reason you like Mazda. It's a great part of the company's past. But until this week, that's exactly what we thought it was. History. That all changed with the reveal of the RX-Vision concept at the Tokyo Motor Show, which reignited the passions of the Mazda faithful. Suddenly, rotary was no longer a relic. The rotary concept shown in Japan was a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car wrapped in the company's latest Kodo design language. It's powered by a Skyactiv-R unit (R for rotary), though specs were not disclosed. Mass production is "currently on hold," Mazda said, maintaining it never stopped development of rotary technology, even after the demise of the RX-8. Beyond that, we know nothing, other than the optimistic statement Mazda offered that: the "RX-Vision represents a vision of the future that Mazda hopes to one day make into reality." Put simply: we agree. OTHER NEWS & NOTES: Subaru previews next-gen Impreza While the Mazda concept was the headliner from Tokyo, Subaru's Impreza design study also stood out. The five-door concept is a signpost for the look of next-generation Impreza. It blends sportiness with functionality, and it's wrapped in a striking shade of 'high-luminance silver.' The fenders are flared to signal Subaru's all-wheel-drive capability, and the front has futuristic headlights that look like something from an Audi E-Tron concept. While most of this will be toned down in production, the concept suggests an elevated style for the Impreza, which is due as a 2017 model. Porsche adds potent GTS model to 2017 Macan line Porsche is giving the Macan crossover the GTS treatment, which will start at $68,195 when it goes on sale in March. GTS translates to more power, a sportier suspension, and interior and exterior design cues that sharpen the looks and reflexes of one of the most athletic SUVs on the market. Porsche recalibrated the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 from the Macan S to make 360 hp and 369 lb-ft, (up from 340 hp and 339 lb-ft in the S). It teams with a seven-speed PDK gearbox and all-wheel drive. An air suspension is standard. The body features a slew of black accents, and the standard 20-inch RS Spyder wheels are done up in a shade of satin black. The cabin gets leather, Alcantara, and GTS logos.
