Original And Immaculate,45k Miles,needs Nothing, Drive Anywhere,2 Owner Car on 2040-cars

Year:1982 Mileage:45000 Color: is Formula White

Murfreesboro, Tennessee, United States

Murfreesboro, Tennessee, United States

I am the second owner of this car. Purchased from the original owner 3 years ago. The original owner had this car as a second car and drove it only sparingly (as have I). I purchased it with 40k miles and have put an additional 4k+ miles on it. Always garaged and kept under a cover. Original owner kept all documents and books from the original sale of the car as new. I have manuals, extensive documentation, brochures, warranty pamphlet, two original keys, and even a binder with some Rotary Rocket Magazines from back in the day. Original owner claims that the car never needed any service or repairs beyond oil changes (which he did himself). Since owning the car, I have had some typical type repair work done. New brake shoes in the rear, new Brake master cylinder, New clutch master and slave cylinders. New battery, air filter and fuel filter. The car is in need of NOTHING now. Everything works as it should (except the power antenna) and the car starts, drives and performs as good as new. No smoking, no leaks no funny noises. All lighting is in working order as is the clock. The AC blows ice cold. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere or any distance. I always keep my vehicles in top running and top cosmetic condition.

The paint on the exterior is Formula White. The paint looks so nice that I find it hard to believe that the paint is original but the original owner claimed that it is. He said the front passenger fender was dinged at some point and repainted but you sure can't tell it. Must have been done correctly. The paint and all exterior items are in EXCEPTIONAL condition. Everything shines. No rust, no dents, nothing. If you get in the right light you can see a few extremely minor door dings in passenger door but they are so minor that they wont show up in photos. All glass, rubber, plastic etc is in immaculate condition. The underside and engine bay were rust-proofed when new and show ZERO signs of any rust.
The wheels look new. The tires are Yokohamas and are in great condition. Appear to have at least 75% tread remaining.
 
The interior is also in immaculate condition. Every last bit of trim and carpet is as good as new. I purchased the $500 set of dark brown authentic sheepskins, which you can see in the photos, to keep the seats nice. I also had two super thick, dark brown floor mats and a huge rear mat which covers the entire back half of the interior, custom made. They look awesome. There are no cracks in the dash. No loose interior pieces. No trim coming loose. Nothing. Its perfect.

The original owner put an aftermarket, high end stereo in the car when new but was unable to locate the original radio for me. I had the unit he installed professionally removed and had $1500 worth of Alpine and JL audio equipment installed. The Alpine is an AM/FM/XM, cd and has an iPod plug. I had them install a powered FM antenna which is in the glove box. The antenna doesn't work well while stuffed in the glove box but I didn't want to mount it anywhere. They removed the original boxes mounted behind the seats (which I still have) and replaced them with the JL audio mids and Amp. The front speakers were replaced with JL speakers and the original grills were put back on. There is a removable JL sub in a brown carpeted box in the rear hatch area. Everything was done professionally and looks fantastic. The sound system will not disappoint. All components can be removed and easily replaced with original equipment if so desired.

This car has ALWAYS been pampered. The new owner will not be disappointed. I don't sell much on ebay but check my feedback comments. I have sold a few of my vehicles over the years on ebay and the feedback has always been great. This is a really nice car.

Prices on ebay for these cars seem to be all over the place. They seem to range from $5000.00 to $8000.00 for the nicer ones. My reserve price falls somewhere in the middle. Please do NOT email me asking for my exact reserve price. 

If you have any questions please email me. I can easily provide additional pictures or information if requested. If you are in the Nashville area and would like to come check out the car just let me know...I'd be happy to show it to you.

Mazda3 versus BMW 1 Series and Audi A3 in Euro diesel showdown

Sun, Dec 21 2014

It's not exactly a Tesla Model S taking on a Ferrari, but for us green enthusiasts, a drag race and comparison between reasonably priced diesel hatchbacks does hold interest, and UK's Auto Express was kind enough to do the deed. When raced, the diesels actually laid a little rubber coming off the line, though the track was covered in rain. Did we mention it was in the UK? The comparison was between diesel hatchbacks priced at less than 22,000 British pounds (about $34,500 US), and Auto Express pitted a Mazda3, a BMW 1-Series and an Audi A3 against each other. The results are revealed in the 11-minute video you can watch below. In short, one car smoked the others. In order to set the tone, you should know that the Mazda's 150 horsepower is about 35 more than the other two entrants. The Mazda also earned points for its quiet motor (it sounds more like a petrol engine, the host says), standard equipment that would add about $4,000 to the other two cars if included and relative roominess in front and in back. The Audi gained points for its storage space, while the BMW had the only rear-wheel-drive car in the hunt. See for yourself how the competition stacks up.

2016 April Fools' Day: Morgan digs at Tesla, Mini's scissor doors, more

Fri, Apr 1 2016

Every year automakers go out of their way to come up with gags for April Fools' Day. Sometimes the jokes fall flat, but occasionally a company really nails it with an idea that we'd actually love to see. Rather than scouring the Web for all of these stunts, you can find some of our favorites right here. Morgan MOGrod The Morgan Motor Company's MOGrod is one of our favorite April Fools' jokes so far this year because it's a car we wish could be real. The company says on Twitter that the retro hot rod uses a 3.7-liter Ford V6, and there are already 250,000 preorders, which is a play on the huge number of reservations for the Tesla Model 3. Morgan took the joke even further by sketching a landspeed record version for the Bonneville Salt Flats. Mini Scissor Doors The people at Mini apparently have a lot of free time because the company has two gags this year. The first is the scissor door option. The idea cleverly plays on the myriad ways customers can customize their Mini, but this solution doesn't look like anyone could easily enter the car due to the way these doors open. Mini Hipster Hatch There's also the Hipster Mini, which is a much funnier idea. This fictional hatchback would be perfect for fashionable Millennials thanks to features like Instagram-filter windows and a fixed-gear drivetrain, which limits the top speed to 25 miles per hour. The interior uses stonewash denim upholstery and packs a twin-deck cassette player. Skoda Dog Umbrella People love dogs, and owners know that a wet canine can be a mess. Skoda is ready to tackle this problem with an umbrella for your mutt. Made from unobtainium, the gadget hides in the door when not in use, but when raindrops start falling, people can keep their pup dry. Skoda Snowman Skoda's Facebook page also teases us with a very cool vehicle. The Snowman is a 396-horsepower plug-in hybrid snow machine. With its tracks, the company's newest model would never have to worry about getting stuck in the winter. Opel Adam C Sure, electricity and hydrogen are cleaner forms of fuel than gasoline or diesel, but Opel has a way to make your car even more environmentally friendly – muscle power. Wind up the crank at the rear for 15 minutes, and the Opel Adam C is good for 125 miles. GM's European division also claims that owners get a great workout because a full winding session burns 400 calories. You wouldn't feel guilty about picking up that pizza after cranking up this hatchback.

Rumored Mazda CX-3 may not be for US

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

Mazda has used its Kodo design language to make some of the most attractive, affordable cars in the world right now, with the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 (pictured above), but it still lacks a crossover in the smaller class, which are becoming popular on the world market. It seems like a natural fit then, that the Japanese company would shrink its CUV design even smaller for a CX-3 to fill the gap. However, a rumor suggests that the compact might not make it to these shores.
The Mazda2-based crossover is due later this summer in Japan and is launching in Europe and emerging markets later, according to Automotive News citing a report in Japan's Nikkei newspaper. The little CUV would cost between 1.5 million yen and 2.0 million yen ($14,700-$19,500) in Japan and be available with diesel and petrol engine options. However, the report made no mention of selling it in North America. There is a glimmer of a chance for the CX-3 here. Mazda is upgrading its Mexican factory to 230,000 annual unit capacity by 2016, which gives it the room to add the new vehicle.
While the midsize CUVs are hugely popular in the US, compacts like the Buick Encore are still a small portion of things. If Mazda could time the CX-3's launch right here, it could take advantage of the lack of competition.
