Winter Garden, Florida, United States

This is a 1996 Mazda B-3000 SE (Special Edition) with the extended cab. Meaning there is ample storage behind the front seats and two small “jump” seats for the little ones. It’s basically a Ford Ranger just rebranded with the Mazda badging. It has the factory ‘sliding’ rear window and a light over the bed in the rear for nighttime work. The truck has the V-6 engine, its two wheel drive and has been well maintained and I have tons of receipts for all the work done on the vehicle. It is a one-owner truck which I bought new. It has a new radiator, battery, new spark plugs, a new clutch and flywheel with new slave and master cylinders and a new headliner. Both side windows have new lifetime warrantied tint. The original jack is included along with a perfect spare tire. The interior shows normal wear for a 17 year old truck but there are no tears or rips anywhere – never been smoked in nor hauled any pets around. The truck has the upgraded bumper with a 2” trailer hitch and the optional electrical connector for trailer lights. The tires only have a few thousand miles on them; shocks and brakes are very good. The vehicle runs out fine, idles, stops and accelerates perfectly and has ice cold A/C and factory power steering. It is greenish-blue (original paint) with only one dent on the passenger side that you have to stoop down to even see. It has the hard plastic bed liner that provides protection from those messy loads. The car has an aftermarket radio that supports Pandora and USB devices. It is a 5-speed overdrive manual transmission and gets excellent gas mileage and it doesn’t use any oil (it’s always had Mobil One synthetic in it). All the gauges work as new except for the odometer which stopped at just over 154,000 miles and I estimate it has 160,000 miles. It has a clear Florida title and is sold as-is, where-is with no warranty. It’s a perfect truck for light farm work or just to have a truck around for those household hauling jobs. It’s very reliable and these V-6 engines are ‘bricks’ with little maintenance required. I’m only selling it because it just sits in the driveway now and is seldom used and I just bought a bigger, brand new truck. The vehicle is about 12 miles west of Orlando in Winter Garden, FL.

Mazda's first profit in five years in sight due to weak yen

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Automotive News reports Mazda is set to turn a profit for the first time in five years. The automaker is more dependent on exports from Japan than other automakers based in that country, and as a result, it has long suffered at the hands of a strong yen. But the currency has declined in value by some 16 percent over the past six months and Mazda's shares have tripled in value to their highest level since 2008. Contrast this situation to a year ago when Mazda printed 1.22 billion new shares to raise cash. The move was equivalent to 70 percent of the company's then-outstanding stock, and values tumbled to record lows as a result.
Now that the yen has fallen to a value of around 96 per dollar, Mazda operations in the US are more profitable and the company now projects it will earn around $279 million for the next fiscal year. Automotive News says a one yen change against the dollar can have a 9.1 percent impact on Mazda operating profit compared to 4.7 percent at Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries or 3.1 percent at Toyota. Those automakers better insulate themselves from currency fluctuations with overseas manufacturing facilities.

Scion FR-S pitted against oldtimers RX-8 and S2000

Tue, 07 May 2013

There are very few vehicles available today that compare directly with the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ twins. A case could be made for the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and possibly even six-cylinder versions of American coupes like the Ford Mustang. Pretty much everything else is either too expensive or is powered by the wrong set of wheels.
The boys from EverydayDriver on YouTube decided the only fair way to judge the inherent qualities of the Toyobaru twins was to pit them against two standard-bearers of years past: The Honda S2000 and Mazda RX-8. Neither of these cars is an exact matchup, with the Honda boasting a convertible top and the RX-8 offering more practicality via a rear seat and two reverse-opening doors for easier access. What they do offer, however, are similar performance stats and proven reputations for excellent handling.
None of this talk answers the real question, though: Which one wins the comparison test? Scroll down to watch the video, and be prepared for something of a surprise conclusion.

2013 North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year finalists announced [w/poll]

Wed, 12 Dec 2012

2012 is almost in the books and automakers are spending December gearing up for the 2013 auto show season, which tips off next month at the Detroit Auto Show. Traditionally, the latter opens up with the announcement of the North American Car and Truck/Utility of the Year awards, and this year figures to be no different.
But up until this moment, we didn't know which six vehicles would be parked ahead of the stage as finalists, with executives and engineers waiting for the winners to be disclosed. Whittled down from October's "short list" of nominees (11 cars and 10 truck/utility vehicles), the finalists are as follows:
