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...

Japan plans real-world diesel emissions test after companies fail
Fri, Mar 4 2016Japan's transport ministry plans to start real-world diesel emissions tests after an experiment found four models from Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi that produced more nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions than the nation's rules allow, according to The Japan Times. Regulators there usually only perform emissions checks in the lab. The VW diesel scandal has everyone double-checking their figures. Diesel versions of the Toyota Hiace van, Land Cruiser Prado, and Nissan X-Trail produced up to 10 times more NOx than allowed. The Mitsubishi Delica D:5 was up to five times over the limit, The Wall Street Journal reports. There was no evidence of defeat devices in the vehicles. Mazda performed well in the experiment, though. The CX-5 passed with nearly the same results on the road and in the lab. The Demio, better known as the Mazda2, did nearly as well with only slighter higher figures in the real world than in the controlled setting. The experimenters theorized the reason for the excessive emissions was that cold weather caused the engines' software to shut off the exhaust gas recirculation to prevent damage, according to the WSJ. However, this behavior also increased NOx production. Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi don't have to worry about punishment from the transport ministry because this check was just an experiment. Their models already passed the mandated lab tests, which was the only requirement, according to The Japan Times. As governments begin greater real-world emissions tests, the results suggests diesels aren't very clean. A recent check in France found models from Ford, Renault, and Mercedes-Benz that didn't perform up to the standards. Regulators in India conducted similar evaluations and ordered VW to recall over 300,000 vehicles. Related Video:
Britain's BBR already promising 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata with 200+ horsepower
Thu, Jan 8 2015The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata is one of Autoblog's most anticipated cars to drive this year, and with good reason. Thanks to svelte, angular styling, the promise of less weight, the possibility of more power and all at a fairly affordable price, it represents pure, automotive enjoyment. Mazda is still not saying exactly how much power the new Miata's 2.0-liter Skyactiv four-cylinder engine will make, but that isn't keeping British tuner BBR from already working out how to squeeze even more ponies from the mill – potentially as much as 200 horsepower with natural aspiration. The company bought a Mazda3 for access to its 2.0-liter Skyactiv and went to work on it. "Our objective with the all-new MX-5 is to achieve the same 200 bhp output that we can easily enjoy with simple bolt-on components on the current 2.0-litre NC model, before building on further power upgrades using forced induction," said Neil McKay of BBR in the company's release. The 3's version of the engine is rated at 155 hp and 150 pound-feet of torque but is expected to be tuned for additional grunt for the droptop. Still, it gives BBR something to experiment with before the real thing is available. The tuner also got the opportunity to take a look at a pre-production 2016 Miata and is already developing "subtle bodywork alterations" for the upcoming convertible. You can get a taste for the company's plans with the rendering above. It sports tinted lights, a front lip spoiler, lower side sills and a tiny rear spoiler. Scroll down to read more about BBR's plans in the official announcement. BBR UNVEILS STUNNING 200 BHP ALL-NEW MAZDA MX-5 CONCEPT Despite deliveries not scheduled to begin until July, legendary Mazda performance tuner BBR is making great progress with both its visual concept and powertrain development for the all-new MX-5. "A program of detailed performance enhancements has already commenced at our Brackley base," says BBR's Neil Mckay, "thanks to our investment in a 2.0-litre Skyactiv powered Mazda 3. Our objective with the all-new MX-5 is to achieve the same 200 bhp output that we can easily enjoy with simple bolt-on components on the current 2.0-litre NC model, before building on further power upgrades using forced induction." Having viewed a pre-production version of the car BBR is also working hard on visual enhancements to add more presence to the svelte lines of the all-new MX-5.
Mazda poaches designer Kevin Rice back from BMW
Wed, 30 Oct 2013Kevin Rice left Mazda a baker's dozen years ago, but now he's back.
A graduate of the Transportation Design program at Coventry University (just across town from Jaguar headquarters), Rice worked his way up in the industry working for the likes of Opel and Italdesign Giugiaro before landing a job at Mazda. Between 1995 and 2000, he collaborated on such projects as the RX-8 and the 1999 Neospace concept that previewed the Mazda2 before moving on to BMW, where the new 3 Series and 4 Series were among the last projects he worked on during his 13-year tenure in Munich.
Now back at Mazda, Rice has been named the Japanese automaker's new creative director, charged with further honing the brand's KODO design language from its European headquarters in Oberursel, Germany. We're looking forward to seeing what he and his design team come up with in the coming years.
