Questions, please email or call/text John at 440-339-4341. This is my 1984 Mazda RX-7 which is a one-family-owned car since new. This is of the better-preserved examples of the first generation RX-7 you will find for sale. This is an original, unmodified and unmolested car that has never been abused or mistreated. This car has always been garaged and was not driven in winter. I have the original window sticker which shows the purchase price of $12,765.00 in 1984. This car has been in the same family since 1984 when it was bought brand new. The car has always been serviced and maintained and kept in good operating condition. This is one of the most fun sports cars ever built. It is a light, nimble RWD sports car with perfect balance and excellent power. It has a slick-shifting transmission, nicely weighted non-power steering, good brakes and an excellent chassis. This car is true classic- it is one of the most innovative automobile designs of the 1980's and one of the finest Japanese sports cars ever designed. This is a superb driver's car. The car is light, quick and responsive. The Wankel rotary engine is ultra-smooth, with excellent power delivery and an intoxicating sound. The 5-speed transmission is crisp and tight in shifting. The suspension is tight and responsive and the car has superb balance due to the engine placement behind the front axle. The brakes are excellent. The overall driving experience is outstanding- these cars have a reputation as pure enthusiast's cars and they deserve it. This RX-7 starts and runs very well. To start the car, you pull out the choke, and the motor starts perfectly every time. The choke automatically releases when the engine has warmed up sufficiently. The engine does not smoke or run rough. The motor makes very good power and it is smooth and quiet. This car is a blast to drive. The rotary engine is butter-smooth and makes excellent power. The clutch is strong and the transmission shifts perfectly. The steering is responsive and the brakes and handling are excellent. This car has no known mechanical problems and there are no warning lights illuminated. This is a reliable, dependable sports car with no known issues whatsoever. I would not hesitate to take this car on a long drive anywhere. The body is straight, solid and clean. I would say the car is about 95% rust-free with very little rust. The underside and body are totally solid and in excellent condition. The paint is clean and looks very good for the age. The paint carries a nice gloss and looks very nice. The exterior and body of this RX-7 are what I'd consider to be excellent for the age. The interior of this RX-7 is in beautiful condition. The carpets are clean and have been protected by the original factory floormats since the very first day the car was purchased. The floormats were only removed for the photos. The seat fabric and upholstery is excellent and looks great. The dash is clean and in good shape. This interior is very clean and in excellent condition- much nicer than you would ever expect for a 1984 car. This car was purchased new in 1984 by Patricia Soya who lived in Illinois. She kept the car in excellent condition and sold it to her brother James in 1991 when the car had 69,000 miles. During its lifetime, the car has always been garaged and it has been used for summertime driving only. This car has never been sitting for any length of time- it has been driven regularly on nice days for the past 30 years. This RX-7 is somewhat rare in that it was sold new without air conditioning. 30 years later, this makes for a lighter, less complex car without an A/C system that would be unlikely to work anyway. Included with the car is the owner's manual, original window sticker, the original body-color steel roof in its vinyl bag plus a fitted front bra. This car is 30 years old and as such it is not brand new. Please expect normal issues of wear and tear consistent with the age of the car. Here is a list of all known issues: There are various small nicks, stone chips, small rust bubbles, minor scratches and other minor exterior defects, some of which have been brush-touched to improve the appearance. There are a few minor spots of rust- these are small in size and superficial only. There is some minor corrosion on the aluminum wheels. The paint on the hood and tops of the fenders is somewhat sun-faded and dull. The original factory radio doesn't work. There is a ding in the front left fender behind the bumper. This car is kept in my garage in Willoughby, OH. You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home. You can also have the car shipped; please call Angels Moving Autos at 530-245-0481 for a shipping quote. |

Tow truck driver hilariously bad at righting a flipped Mazda
Wed, 30 Oct 2013Can rolling your car get any worse? The correct answer is yes, as this poor soul found out when he rolled his Mazda3 onto its side. Calling a tow truck might be a logical, post-rollover move, but in this case, it kind of made the situation worse.
We don't want to give away just what happened, so you'll need to scroll down and watch the video. A fair warning, though, it does contain a moment of colorful language towards the end, so watching it at work, with the volume up, might not be wise. Have a look below for the full video.
Mazda poaches designer Kevin Rice back from BMW
Wed, 30 Oct 2013Kevin Rice left Mazda a baker's dozen years ago, but now he's back.
A graduate of the Transportation Design program at Coventry University (just across town from Jaguar headquarters), Rice worked his way up in the industry working for the likes of Opel and Italdesign Giugiaro before landing a job at Mazda. Between 1995 and 2000, he collaborated on such projects as the RX-8 and the 1999 Neospace concept that previewed the Mazda2 before moving on to BMW, where the new 3 Series and 4 Series were among the last projects he worked on during his 13-year tenure in Munich.
Now back at Mazda, Rice has been named the Japanese automaker's new creative director, charged with further honing the brand's KODO design language from its European headquarters in Oberursel, Germany. We're looking forward to seeing what he and his design team come up with in the coming years.
Mazda3 sales off to rocky start despite massive critical acclaim
Tue, 18 Mar 2014Like just about every other auto publication we've seen, we loved the way the Mazda3 drove when we reviewed it a few months ago, but those glowing reviews apparently aren't helping its sales. The new compact may be falling victim to a sales war between the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, with the newcomer getting squeezed out by those with more established names and bigger marketing budgets.
According to Automotive News, Mazda3 sales have fallen every month since last August, and its sales are down 27 percent in the first two months of 2014. It certainly isn't helping that the entire compact segment is down five percent this year as well.
The biggest problem for the new model seems to be its price compared to rivals. Mazda is not offering the incentives that are on the hood of competitors. With the previous generation, the company offered more than $2,700 on the hood to move them out, but the current model only carries about $1,233 in markdowns, according to AN.
