$1000 cash or possible trade for good running minivan/pickup/sub-compact station wagon.

Too much going on, so won't have a chance to repair it in the near future.
I'd rather find it a good home, but if I don't get what I want for it, it will just have to sit a while longer until I can get to it.

The good:

Clean/clear title.
Very straight and complete car.
Never wrecked.
No rust. West coast, desert car.
All glass good w/light factory tint.
Factory electric sunroof.
Factory alarm system.
Behind the seats dual locking storage compartments.
Factory GTU body/suspension treatment w/full aerodynamics package intact.
5 lug wheels with 135mph rated rubber.
4 wheel disk brakes.
Newer pale yellow paint. (wife didn't like original red color.)
Nose bra to protect front end.
Interior could use some TLC, but pretty good for age of car. (some minor cracked/missing plastic parts and small rip in driver's seat.)
Dash has a custom fit cover that was on when I bought the car, so I don't know the condition of the dash.
4 spd overdrive automatic transmission has lock out button that holds it in gear letting the driver control shifts.

The bad:

Told engine ate its seals. Spins, but won't start. May be as simple as no spark, fuel mixture, etc, but selling as blown engine, as that is the worst case scenario and I don't want anyone buying it thinking it will be a cheap and simple fix. If it turns out to be something simple, great for you, You've gotten it for less than 1/4 its running value.

Repair/rebuild/replace the power train and have a great handling 2 seat exotic car for a small price. When running, this is a 30+mpg car at highway speeds that can out handle about anything made, but with good manners when being driven around town. It passed smog testing with no problems when it was last running, so all smog equipment is present. The battery is shot from sitting for almost a year.

No warranty implied. As is where is. I have tried to describe its condition as completely as possible.

Cash price is firm! Trade is negotiable depending on vehicle offered. (An even trade is possible, but I am not interested if you expect to get my car plus cash.)

I will not ship, but will assist in loading if you supply transport. Must be paid in full before car, or title will be released. Cash at time of pick up, and/or signed title and other vehicle if a trade.

Contact Dave at 702-290-2501 with any questions.

Car is available for inspection. Located on Carey Ave. by Lamb Blvd. Northeast Las Vegas.

I can take and email pictures of specific areas if needed. (Except the undersides as it sits too low for me to get under.)

2014 Mazda6 recalled due to fuel overfill fire risk

Fri, 02 May 2014

Mazda is recalling 19,000 Mazda6 sedans from model year 2014, over concerns that the fuel tanks can be filled up too much. What is it with Mazda and fuel tanks?
The big concern is, obviously, spillage when filling up. There's also a risk that a radical temperature swing could cause the fuel volume to expand, causing a full tank to spill over without the driver knowing about it. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, if the fuel spills over, it could end up in something called the charcoal canister, which helps with the car's emissions. If it fills up the canister, it could leak out onto the road. None of this is really desirable.
The affected vehicles were all built between October 25, 2012 and May 9, 2013. It's unclear if there have been any fires due to this problem. Dealers should have been notified by now, while owners should begin receiving official recall notifications very soon.

Modded budget Mazda Miata takes on new Porsche Boxster in more challenges

Tue, 23 Sep 2014

Earlier this month, our friends across the pond at Auto Express released the first in a two-video series that would see them try and build up a second-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata that could best a standard Porsche Boxster around the track. While that first video detailed the mods to the MX-5 - a supercharger, some suspension upgrades and a new set of super-sticky rubber being chief among them - and set baseline lap times for the stock car, today, we have the results of the 5,000-pound ($8,200) upgrade job.
Of course, we aren't going to spoil those for you. You'll need to watch the full video, which recaps the upgrades before digging into a comparison of both straight-line-speed differences between the 2.7-liter Porsche Boxster and blown Miata, as well as their behavior and lap times on the track.
Take a look and let us know what you think in Comments.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
