2009 Mazda 5 Sport Mini Van - Needs Engine - Sold As-is on 2040-cars
West Orange, New Jersey, United States
You are bidding on a 2009 Mazda 5 mini van, for sale by the original owner. The car is being sold as-is and needs some work. Please read the condition description carefully and look at the picture of the estimate to repair. The dealer recommends a new engine and brakes, which will cost $6,500 from that dealer to repair. I did not get a second opinion so perhaps you can get lucky with a cheaper option at another dealer, but you should count on the $6,500 when deciding on your bid price. I am offering no warranty, but I am doing my best to be transparent about what is needed.
The car is the basic sport model, which comes quite nicely equipped. It has automatic climate control, cruise control, radio with CD, and a very versatile seating setup. Seating for 6 and several combinations of folding seats to increase cargo room. It is a great family car that gets surprisingly good mileage for a van. It currently has a great set of snow tires installed and I am also including the summer tires, two of which were replaced in June. Drives very well in the snow with the snow tires, but I do recommend you continue to use snow tires in the winter as the summer radials are not ideal for snow. I will also throw in a nice bluetooth speaker phone device that is on the windshield and is solar powered. The car is drive-able as-is, but it will need the engine repair soon. You won't need to have it towed to a shop, but I suggest that the shop is the first place you drive it. |

2014 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]
Tue, 10 Dec 2013The 2014 North American International Auto Show is right around the corner, which means it's high time we found out which cars and trucks would be finalists for the prestigious North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards.
The finalists - three in cars and three in three trucks/utilities - are dominated by American brands, with two-thirds of the finalists hailing from either General Motors or Chrysler (don't worry Ford, there's always next year), while outliers from Mazda and Acura can be found in each contest. Here now is the list of finalists for the big prizes:

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata design walkaround
Sat, Sep 13 2014By now, you've likely read what we think of the 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata's new looks both inside and out, and you've probably poured over the available photos and started to make up your own mind about the roadster's radically more aggressive new appearance. More than likely, however, you haven't heard much from Mazda itself about its new design, and we're here to remedy that. Join Autoblog as we go over the new Miata from tip to tail with Derek Jenkins, Mazda North America's director of design. Jenkins, a veteran of both Audi and Volkswagen design studios, has been with the Japanese automaker for nearly four years, and he's kept a close eye in the ND Miata program along with his team in Irvine, CA. Check out our video to see Jenkins explain his team's exterior and cabin handiwork and to learn a little more about why the new model graduates from the Miata's historically cute and friendly aesthetic to something altogether more assertive.
Mazda Miata 'fathers' Hall and Case offer a tour through the roadster's history
Wed, 10 Sep 2014The original Mazda Miata broke onto the automotive scene in 1989 and was a huge success. However, the convertible's genesis goes all the way back to the early '80s. Bob Hall and Dean Case were among the inside men of the program on the US side, and they were on hand at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca during the recent MX-5 event there to tell some of their stories about the project's beginning.
Hall was on the Miata project from very early on, and one of his most fascinating stories is how the convertible got its shape. The droptop wasn't necessarily going to be a rear-wheel drive roadster. There were both front-wheel-drive coupe and mid-engine concepts being considered. In fact, the classic look of the NA generation was the least favorite of the three at the sketch stage.
Hall comes off as a jokester hiding a genius mind. He has a fountain of information in his head about what a Miata should be, but it all comes down to "less is more." However, he admits that it's easy to conceive that idea, but it's much harder to actually execute it well.
