Ok, so here is the deal... I purchased this vehicle in January for a much anticpated 3 month summer road trip. I dumped just about $2,300 into making this thing run & drive like a CHAMP. And it does! But then the girlfriend ditched me, I cancelled the trip & I just don't need this style of car for myself. This car is TIGHT.
The blue book value in "fair" condition is $2300, which this is certainly well above fair... especially once you see the "just done" work list!
But since this is an online listing, I more than welcome phone calls to discuss condition notes & recent repair list. This car needs NOTHING & is a turn key & drive away with no worries! My feedback here on ebay can be some assurance I like to treat people right all the time, no matter the purchase size! My number is lower in this listing.
This is a 1998 Mazda MPV All Sport.
It's a 2wd vehicle, with a push button AWD transfer case... but what's really unique and awesome, is there is another button that locks the rear differential making it a 4WD. The best of ALL worlds!
The basics:
Awd/4wd
V6
4 Door
Rear hatch
Power windows
Power doorlocks
AC front & rear
Fog lamps
Roof rack (cartop carrier NOT included in sale)
seating for 7 (rear seats currently not in, will be for test drive)
Towing package (2.5" receiver)
A partial list of whats been done in the past 5 months (receipts for all):
Timing belt & all pulleys ($785)
Water pump
All lifters & rockers (pretty much rebuilt motor)
Valve cover seals
Rear air shocks ($600 repair) (car came with "auto leveler" but has been disconnected as they are $2k to replace)
$160 Optima Redtop Deep Cylcle battery
Full transmission flush & service
New exhast (from catalytic converter back)
Drivers power window setup (the whole inside of the door replaced, $395)
Starter
Plugs, wires, caps, rotor (less than 1 month old)
Rear wiper motor
Fuel Pump
Fuel filter
Throttle position sensor ($180)
And tons more that I just can't remember currently.
Passed DEQ with flying colors. Current oregon tags
Starts instantly, shifts smoothly & is a TIGER in the snow & sand, a great AWD!
Interior is in good shape, some very minor spots & stains but nothing too funky, custom $80 deep well floor mats.
Tires are all at least 70% tread left, one is 95% & are nice A/T's... wheels aren't fantastic looking but solid.
Privacy glass
Roof rack (box does NOT come with)
I want anyone who comes to look to know what they're looking at so there are no surprises... I'm about as honest a guy as they come & I hate waisting my time & a potential buyers... so here is the bad list:
-Rear a/c & heat is disconnected.. the control switch is broken & stuck in the on position on high heat, it's 1 wire to plug in
-Small dent at drivers door handle
-Power locks/keyless entry non functioning (no FOB, never had one so can not confirm it would work)
-Very minor scratches here or there, the paint is fully glossy & very sharp looking!
-windshield has a chip that has been repaired, no cracks
-It sounds like there is an exhaust leak developing, it goes away once it's warmed up so it could just be the exhaust manifold needs torquing down (a broken bolt was extracted & replaced 2 months ago)
And that is just about it. So like I said, I don't take car maintenance lightly & spent BIG bucks to make this car as reliable & sound as could be. MY LOSS YOUR GAIN. I just want something smaller for myself & am willing to hear offers, but don't make me laugh please. I'm already offering a nearly fully rebuilt car for the lowest blue book.
Car has 205k miles on it currently, clean title in hand in my name & ready to hand over!
Please call 503.875.4557 for any questions or if there are more specific images you'd like to see.
Trades I'd consider: Astro Van, vanagon, awd station wagon, dual sport, enduro, motorcycle, VW Van...

Mazda on sales upswing in Europe but won't build there
Sat, 20 Jul 2013Auto sales in Europe have been a tricky proposition for some years, but Mazda has seen some success on the backs of the CX-5 and new Mazda6. According to a report form Automotive News Europe, though, that doesn't mean we should be looking for the Japanese manufacturer to set up production operations there.
Mazda's European CEO, Jeff Guyton, explained to AN that "Our intention is to have manufacturing scale. That gives you scale economy and quality through repeatability." In other words, a big honking plant in one part of the world is preferable to a half dozen small factories building the same vehicles.
European sales for Mazda are up 5.4 percent in the first half of 2013, with 74,000 units sold. That kicked the Zoom-Zoom brand's market share up from one to 1.2 percent. Small gains, but gains nonetheless. According to Guyton, Mazda would need to sell 200,000 units of just one model in Europe for local production to make sense. Mazda's best European year saw 320,000 units sold across the entire range.
Mazda MX-5 Miata goes Head 2 Head with Subaru BRZ
Wed, Aug 5 2015It's a battle that's been in the making for some time now: the Subaru BRZ versus the Mazda MX-5 Miata. And now that the new Miata has arrived – and in Club spec to boot – that's exactly what Motor Trend has lined up for its latest episode of Head 2 Head. Now before you go screaming that one's a coupe and the other a convertible, take a few commonalities into account. Roofs aside, both feature a 2.0-liter four mounted up front, driving the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission. Both are made by Japanese automakers and cost around $25-30k, give or take. Both produce around the same amount of torque, and while the Subaru may be more powerful, the Mazda's considerably lighter. To create a more even contest, then, you'd have to line a BRZ up against a Scion FR-S, or the MX-5 against the upcoming Fiat version of the same. Of course, being that close on paper doesn't mean that it's a draw. One has to come out on top. And after taking both along country roads and the Streets of Willow racing circuit, our friends at MT have picked one over the other. You'll want to watch the 22-minute video above (or at least skip ahead to the end) to see which came out on top, but if you're as enthused by a purist driver's car as we are, you'll enjoy every minute of it.
