1988 Mazda RX-7 Convertible 5-Speed with 17,500 original miles Up for sale is an incredibly clean and original triple black manual transmission 1988 Mazda RX-7 Convertible with 17,500 original miles. See below for a complete description of the car. I have a small collection of sports cars and I have exceeded my storage with a recent acquisition ('93 RX-7 with 11k miles) thus need to sell a car.
Car History: I purchased the car from the 2nd owner in August of 2013 out of Georgia. It was previously in Virginia with the original owner since new. It has always been stored in a garage under a car cover and with a battery tender. The car has a clean car fax which verifies both the mileage and accident free history. Included with the purchase are the original Owner's Manual, Accessories Guide, Warranty book, Mazda Sales Brochure, Original Window Sticker, the original Purchase order, the like new convertible boot cover, and two keys.
Vehicle Condition: The car has zero rust and has always been a "sunny day" driver. I have driven the car to Las Vegas twice in the last six months and the car performed perfectly.
The body of the car is in great condition with no damage or signs or repair. The original paint is in very good condition and only has a few small rock chips on the hood. There are two places where touch up paint was used to repair very shallow scratches, one on each side of the car and are not visible in the pictures, but are in person. That said, the original paint shines bright.
The 13B rotary engine is more than sufficient to propel the car and with the 5-speed manual transmission you can get the most out of the high revving rotary engine. The engine has had required no work other than full synthetic oil & filter changes. Same goes for the transmission with no non-maintenance repairs. Both the engine and transmission are without issue and operate as the mileage would indicate.
All vehicle electronics are fully operational including the A/C which works great and does NOT need a charge, as well as the factory radio/CD player including the headrest speakers. I did replace the door speakers last fall, but everything else is stock and works great. The power top and latching mechanisms work perfectly and the top easily converts to a targa should you desire a less than full convertible experience. All glass is fee of cracks. The only item not working correctly is the remote truck release which works infrequently.
The "off black" original interior is in excellent condition with very little wear to the driver's side bolster. All gauges work accurately as do the dash lights, clock, and even the annoying "shift up" light.
The RX-7 sports Michelin MXV4 All season tires with about 2,500 miles on them. They sit on the OEM BBS rims that in my opinion fit the car's design perfectly. The wheels have no damage and look great.
Maintenance: Due to the low mileage and indoor storage, very little maintenance has been needed for this RX-7. I had the car inspected prior to my purchase and only the battery was in need of servicing, everything else checked out fine. I have receipts for the tires as well as the most recent oil changes, but otherwise these is not much to tell.
Overall this is an excellent condition original FC convertible that is a lot of fun to drive and is ready to be driven anywhere. The history is known and documented with original paperwork and a clean/clear Box A (original mileage) AZ title. The car is located in Chandler Arizona which is a suburb of Phoenix.
Auction Details: A $500 non-refundable deposit is required within 24 hours via PayPal. Final payment via bank wire or cash is due within 7 days of the auction ending. If the above is not complied with or other arrangements are not agreed to prior, the transaction will be canceled, negative feedback left, and the car will be re-listed. All shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer but I will assist in the pick up as needed. The car is located in Chandler, Arizona 85249. Thanks for your interest in my RX-7 and feel free to contact me with any questions. |

Mazda still really wants to bring diesels to America
Mon, Jul 25 2016Mazda's Skyactiv program has delivered much of what it promised for the brand's latest crop of products, namely great fuel economy and excellent driving dynamics. However, the Skyactiv diesel engine has yet to reach our shores. It's been promised ever since the new Mazda6 showed up here for the 2014 model year. According to a new report from Automotive News, Mazda's CEO Masamichi Kogai said that the Mazda Skyactiv D diesel powertrain is still set to make an American appearance. He told Automotive News that there is an internal timeline to get it to the States, and while he didn't reveal the timeline, he said he wants it to come here before he steps down as CEO. The powertrain is offered elsewhere, so it fits in the company's current vehicles, but the US has specific regulatory hurdles, and the engine's extra cost has to make sense from a sales and volume perspective. We doubt VW's diesel scandal helped the engine's sales pitch, either. Automotive News also reports that the next generation of Skyactiv designs and engines are also on their way and will advance and improve on the current generation's strengths. Engineers revealed to Automotive News that they expect a 30 percent improvement in efficiency and are developing an engine with the sky-high compression ratio of 18:1. This impressive ratio could be a further indication of Mazda's pursuit of homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines. Mazda has had plenty of success with its strategy of making very efficient internal-combustion engines, but there are some concerns that the company can only improve so much. The main worry comes from the company's lack of investment in hybrid and electric powertrains. Even Mazda's North American CEO Masahiro Moro expressed concern about meeting a 54.5 mpg mandate for 2025. That mandate will no longer take effect, but increasing fuel economy requirements will always be an issue. Related Video:
Mazdaspeed2 supermini hot hatch under consideration
Thu, 21 Aug 2014Though the Ford Fiesta ST and Fiat 500 Abarth (and arguably the Mini Cooper S) may stand pretty much alone in the North American market, in overseas markets, supermini hot hatches are a big deal. Unfortunately, challengers like the Volkswagen Polo GTI, Seat Ibiza Cupra and Renault Clio RS 200 Turbo never make it to our showrooms, but word has it that there's soon to be a new entry on the market.
That would be the Mazdaspeed2, which would be badged in certain markets as the Mazda2 MPS. Speaking with Australian site CarAdvice.com.au at the launch of the Mazda2 on which it would be based, the Japanese automaker's global sales chief and the hatchback's deputy product manager hinted that such a product is definitely being discussed, even if it hasn't yet been approved.
This wouldn't be the first time such a notion were entertained, as Mazda has shown numerous performance concepts based on the previous Mazda2/Demio over the years, but none have come to fruition.
Mazda Hazumi concept presages next Mazda2
Fri, 21 Feb 2014Looks like Mazda's big Geneva Motor Show debut is actually something quite small. Teased here, the Hazumi concept "points the way to the future" for the brand's subcompact offering, the Mazda2. Details are slim as of this writing, but from what we can see in the image above, the Hazumi will use the same Kodo design language found on the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5. We're big fans of this styling direction, so we fully expect the concept to be quite an attractive little number.
Hazumi means "bound" or "spring up" in Japanese, with Mazda saying this nomenclature is "particularly well-suited to a small car that appears to be bursting with energy." In other words, say goodbye to the friendly faced Mazda2 we've enjoyed since it launched in the United States in 2010. Instead, prepare for something decidedly more assertive, hopefully improving upon the already-great driving dynamics of the current subcompact. If we're honest, we can't wait.
Mazda will also use the Geneva show to debut its new small-displacement, 1.5-liter Skyactiv-D diesel engine. The automaker hasn't confirmed that this new fuel-efficient powerplant will be part of the Hazumi concept package, but considering the two are debuting alongside each other, it would seem to make sense. As for whether or not this engine could come stateside when the next Mazda2 launches, we're not holding our breath for that, especially considering the company's current woes with US-spec diesel engines.
