This 1985 Mazda RX7 GS is a very well preserved car, mechanically perfect and an excellent driver. I am owner number 3 and the car fax supports the mileage of 100,7XX.

The car came to me from a collector car dealer in Boise Idaho and was in well preserved shape. A new radio is the only modifications from stock I’ve noticed and the original stereo, equalizer and cassette come with the car. Here is the list of work beyond oil and filters performed during my ownership:

  • ·      Oil pressure sensor weeping removed and replaced
  • ·      Speedometer cable gaskets at transmission weeping, removed and replaced.
  • ·      Differential drain / fill plug gaskets weeping, removed, replaced refilled with fresh fluid.
  • ·      Transmission exterior shift boot torn, removed and replaced.
  • ·      Tires rotated, balanced, new valve stems installed and raised white letters turned inside.
  • ·      Small dent on top of drivers side front fender repaired by paint free dent removal.
  • ·      Door seals leaking, removed and replaced.
  • ·      Hood support retainer clip missing, replaced.
  • ·      Rear hatch supports weak, replaced.
  • ·      Front wheel bearings loose, preloads reset.
  • ·      Front Shocks worn, replaced with KYB units.
  • ·      Interior shift boot and plastic surround cracked, removed and replaced with new old stock.
  • ·      Clutch chattering when hot, replaced clutch including new friction disk, pressure plate, pilot bearing and release bearing. Flywheel resurfaced at this time, transmission drained and refilled with new gear oil.
  • ·      Air conditioning leaking freon, main hoses removed and replaced. Fresh charge of R12 refrigerant. Blows 38F at the center vent in 75F ambient temperature.
  • ·      Oil injection system tested and shown to be at factory specifications.

There are receipts to document all of this. Every system on the car works, as it should. Currently it wears Idaho plates but on 3/6/14 the car easily passed a California smog inspection, which is good for change of ownership within 60 days.

I find nothing that would make me doubt this is original paint and see no evidence of rust. Ocean Blue Metallic, code L-6, which appears to be a fairly rare one-year only color. There are small chips in the clear coat located on the plastic rear bumpers edge, see pictures.

The grey cloth interior looks incredible, no rips tears or stains. The dash is 100% crack free and all the glass has the original Mazda stamps. Headliner is in great shape with no discoloration or sagging.

I have tried to describe this car as honestly as I can. This RX has been enjoyed and that means the occasional chip and some wear marks but short of a frame off restoration or a museum piece I doubt you can find a cleaner example.

Feel free to contact me, Bill 760-809-9746, with any questions or to view the car. Pre--purchase inspections will be facilitated in the North San Diego County area at your expense only. 

Finally the legal stuff:

·      The car is sold “As is” with no implied or expressed warranty.

·      Seller will help to facilitate shipping but only at buyer’s sole expense.

·      $500.00 due from winning bidder via PayPal within 24 hours of the auction’s end.

·      Balance only via certified check, cash in person or wire transfer within 7 days of auction ending. PayPal will not be accepted for the balance unless seller agrees in advance and buyer pays all associated fees.

Mazda's slick new CX-4 crossover is sadly only for China

Tue, Apr 26 2016

Mazda just unveiled the CX-4 crossover at the Beijing Motor Show, introducing the sleek new crossover exclusively for the Chinese market. The CX-4 rides on the same wheelbase as the CX-5, and is just as wide. It even packs the same powertrain options: 2.0- or 2.5-liter inline fours from Mazda's Skyactiv-G series, mated to the same six-speed manual or automatic transmissions. It measures a little longer from bow to stern than the CX-5 (albeit shorter than the CX-7), but the key part here is that it's shorter in height – shorter even than the smaller CX-3 – thanks to its sleek coupe-like roofline. The resulting impediment to interior space may make little sense from a practical standpoint, but it sure does make it look good. Consider the CX-4, then, to bear a similar relationship to the CX-5 as the BMW X4 does to the X3, or the Coupe versions of the Mercedes GLC and GLE to their conventional counterparts – albeit with styling more similar to the Infiniti QX70, particularly at the back. The question is whether the US market is ready for a more budget-oriented five-door crossover coupe in the same way that it has embraced those more upscale offerings. Mazda doesn't seem to think so; at least not for the time being. For our part, looking at the CX-4, we're not so sure. What do you think?

The CX-4 was made to exceed existing categories and stereotypes. The dynamic design is unmistakably KODO in form and the planted stance and sleek, coupe-like cabin combine to give the model an outstanding presence. Customers will appreciate the exceptional functionality and user-friendliness, including the ease of entering and exiting the vehicle and the flexible cargo space. With SUV-like ground clearance and Mazda's i-ACTIV AWD*2 all-wheel drive system, the CX-4 is ready to take on a wide range of road conditions and offers a combination of outstanding environmental and safety performance (Sustainable Zoom-Zoom) and a Jinba-ittai driving feel with excellent handling thanks to its low center of gravity.

Mazda shows lightweight MX-5 Spyder and Speedster at SEMA

Tue, Nov 3 2015

Ever since Mazda dropped the first teaser on us last week, we've been looking forward to seeing what it had in store for us at SEMA this year. Now we've seen it what Mazda has dubbed the MX-5 Spyder and MX-5 Speedster, and they were worth the wait. The Spyder goes vintage with a silver paintjob and a brown top stretched overhead. It also has an aero kit, grille, and tonneau cover done up in carbon fiber, rides on 17-inch wheels, and features a natural leather interior. The blue Speedster, meanwhile, goes for the stripped-down, wind-in-your-hair experience. It has no roof or windshield, just a tiny deflector at the front of the dashboard. It's dropped an inch closer to the ground on an adjustable coilover suspension with 16-inch alloys, and features a center-exit exhaust. Carbon fiber helps trim 250 pounds from the curb weight, along with a stripped out interior trimmed in Alcantara. Both look pretty slick, and disappoint only in so far as they (like so many of their predecessor concepts) won't be heading for production. If they were, we'd be hard pressed to choose between the two. Which would you go for? Mazda Reveals Extreme Lightweight Design Concepts at 2015 SEMA MX-5 Concepts Display Two Different Takes on Staying True to Pure, Lightweight Sports Car Philosophy LAS VEGAS (November 3, 2015) – Mazda revealed two design concepts today at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, based on its all-new 2016 MX-5 Miata—MX-5 Spyder and MX-5 Speedster—demonstrating two vastly different takes on lightweight, open-air performance. Lightweight. Fun-to-drive. Roadster. Those three tenets have served as the foundation for the Mazda MX-5 Miata since its 1989 introduction and continue to serve the new fourth-generation model. Focused, lightweight engineering is a guiding principle of every Mazda vehicle made with SKYACTIV Technology, allowing for greater efficiency, improved performance and agile handling dynamics. But what if that sense of lightweight performance were taken to the extreme? What if Mazda's North American designers harkened back to vintage roadsters to create thoroughly modern, bespoke concepts for what a lightweight performance car should be The results would be the MX-5 Spyder and MX-5 Speedster concepts. "Both MX-5 Spyder and MX-5 Speedster are uncompromising designs that highlight the core strengths of MX-5," said Ken Saward, design manager, Mazda North American Operations.

Mazda recalls 1.37 million older vehicles for ignition switch short [UPDATE]

Fri, Oct 23 2015

UPDATE: Mazda has confirmed to Autoblog that NHTSA's figures and list of effected models are accurate. Mazda is recalling 1,368,500 older vehicles in the US that date as far back as the late '80s because a potential short circuit in the ignition switch could cause a fire. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the models include: 1990-1995 323 1993-1998 626 1993-1995 929 1989-1998 MPV 1993-1997 MX-6 1992-1993 MX-3 1990-1998 Protege Mazda reports that over time the grease around the switch's contact points can carbonize and become conductive, which can eventually lead to a short circuit. In some cases this results in smoke, but it could also lead to a fire. According to company spokesperson Tamara Mlynarczyk to Autoblog, there're no accidents, injuries, or fires in the US. Once the vehicle is running, the potential fault also doesn't affect drivability. Documents from NHTSA (as a PDF), indicate there was a fire in one of these vehicles in Japan in 2002 that could have been linked to this issue. The recall should begin in December. In its announcement of the issue below, Mazda reports 1.2 million vehicles affected and includes the 1990-1996 323/Protege. Autoblog has reached out to the company to understand the discrepancy.

In the affected vehicles, grease applied to the contact points inside the ignition switch may become conductive and overheat. CONSEQUENCE: If the ignition switch overheats there would be an increased risk of a fire. REMEDY: Mazda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ignition switch, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 15, 2015. Owners may contact Mazda Customer Experience Center at 1-800-222-5500, option#6. Mazda's number for this recall is 8715J.
