Classic Collector's Mazda 626 on 2040-cars
Idaho Falls, Idaho, United States
Serious offers only. This is for a full car and will not be sold
off for parts. This is a one-of-a-kind classic. I'm only the car's
second owner and I have all of the paperwork sent to the original buyer
from the dealership it was purchased from. It has less than sixty one
thousand original miles on it, as verified by the Utah Department
of Motor Vehicle at the time I bought the car. In February of 2012, the
car was hit on the passenger's side by a woman doing 40 mph in a 10 mph
zone. There are only a few other minor dings here and there on the
body, in that there's only one other that's larger than a fifty cent
piece. The car also has a mustache on the hood that has been fixed with a
permanent adhesive of sorts, not sure what. The interior needs to be
replaced as the car sat out in the sun for many years and wasn't
protected from the elements. When I bought the car, it had been sitting
for at least four years, as the original owner had moved to a retirement
home and didn't think anything more about the car. There are three
things that I know for certain are wrong with the car. It has a blown
head gasket (from sitting for so long), it needs a new clutch/flywheel
assembly (it has a 5 speed transmission) and the muffler/exhaust pipe
are pretty much rusted away. The tires on it are still like new, even
though they're 8 years old. I've been told that this is truly a gem,
despite the repairs needed, and is worth a great deal to a collector.
While the repairs will run around $7000.00 (unless you can do them
yourself), I've been told by several restoration companies that it's
worth at least $10,000.00, even in it's current condition. I absolutely
love this little car and want it to go to someone that's going to spend
the time and money loving it back to the beautiful little treasure it
is. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL SHIPPING AND TRANSPORTATION COSTS TO HAVE THE CAR DELIVERED.

Japan may aid carmakers facing U.S. tariff threat
Wed, Sep 12 2018TOKYO — Japan is considering giving carmakers fiscal support including tax breaks to offset the impact from trade frictions with the United States and a sales-tax hike planned for next year, government sources told Reuters on Wednesday. Going into a second round of trade talks with the United States on Sept. 21, Japan is hoping to avert steep tariffs on its car exports and fend off U.S. demands for a bilateral free trade agreement that could put it under pressure to open politically sensitive markets, like agriculture. "If the trade talks pile pressure on Japan's car exports, we would need to consider measures to support the auto industry," a ruling party official said on condition of anonymity because of sensitivity of the matter. The auto industry accounts for about 20 percent of Japan's overall output and around 60-70 percent of the country's trade surplus with the United States, making it vulnerable to U.S. action against Japanese exports. Japan's biggest automakers and components suppliers fear they could take a significant hit if Washington follows through on proposals to hike tariffs on autos and auto parts to 25 percent. Policymakers also worry that an increase in the sales tax from 8 percent to 10 percent planned for October 2019, could cause a slump in sales of big-ticket items such as cars and home. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has twice postponed the tax hike after the last increase from 5 percent in 2014 dealt a blow to private consumption, which accounts for about 60 percent of the economy. To prevent a pullback in demand after the tax hike, the government may consider large fiscal spending later when it draws up its budget for next year, government sources said. "One option may be to greatly reduce or abolish the automobile purchase tax," one of the government sources said. The government is also considering cuts in the automobile tax and automobile weight tax to help car buyers, the source added.

2014 Mazda Skyactiv Prototype looks ready for Daytona
Fri, 17 Jan 2014With less than two weeks before the Mazda Skyactiv Prototype makes its race debut at the 2014 Rolex 24 at Daytona, the Japanese Zoom-Zoom brand brought its diesel-powered racer to the floor of the 2014 Detroit Auto Show.
The red prototype marks Mazda's return to prototype racing, and will campaign the inaugural Tudor United SportsCar Championship using a 2.2-liter, SkyActiv-D diesel engine. With 451 horsepower on tap and 580 pound-feet of torque, the racer should stand up well against a field of gas-powered competitors.
Should the Skyactiv win Daytona, it'll be a coup for Mazda. The racer is running an engine with over 50 percent of its parts drawn from the oft-delayed production Skyactiv-D. Head up top for our full gallery of images of the new Skyactiv Prototype. The 2014 Rolex 24 will be run from January 25 to 26.
