This is a 1992 Mazda Miata that is "Black and Tan". Some call it a special edition, some call it a limited edition, others argue that it is neither. At any rate, it came with special edition features like BBS wheels, Nardi wooden gear shift knob and hand brake lever, the C package options, etc. This one has the optional removable hardtop (with defroster) as well.
I have conflicted feelings about selling my "baby". It has been a garage queen all of its life and has no dents or dings. The paint is bright and shiny (and original). There are a couple of blemishes in the finish, but nothing major and they can't really be seen in pictures, but, it is NOT a new car, it is 21 years old and has been driven 18000 miles. It was a southern California car most of its life but has been in Mississippi for the past 3+ years. It has never seen snow, ice and rarely rain.
No performance modifications have been made and it is all original with the exception of the radio (Sony Explod). The interior is near perfect with only very slight wear on the drivers seat (not ripped or torn, just a little discoloration where you slide into the seat). I have the original radio (same radio but not the original one from the car), original floor mats (I put aftermarket floor mats in the car to protect the original ones), original gearshift knob (I removed it because it sat to high for me) and the original tonneau cover.
I am the second owner. The original owner sprayed some kind of stuff on the dash to keep the aftermarket dash cover from sliding around. I have not fixed this and am not sure what would be the easiest way to fix it. The original owner also installed an alarm system with electric locks and a remote key fob and an amp for the stereo is mounted in the trunk. I installed a battery cut off switch on the battery to avoid it losing power while parked in the garage.
The car has air conditioning, power windows, brakes, antennae and locks, cruise control, 5 speed manual transmission, leather seats and the removable hardtop (which I have never taken off). The car is in excellent condition inside and outside as well as mechanically. It does not leak anywhere or have any weird noises, etc. It has relatively new Michelin tires with about 3500 miles on them. That's about all I can think to put in the description, but feel free to email me with questions.
Although I am not really trying too hard to sell it, it is for sale locally and I will cancel the auction if need be because of local sale or other reason. I set the reserve at the price I would be willing to pay for the vehicle if I was in the market for one. I consider it reasonable, others may not. Please don't ask what it is, I am just going to let the auction take its course. As I said before, I have mixed feelings about selling the car. If it doesn't sell, I have no problem keeping it. I absolutely love driving it.
I do require a non-refundable $500 deposit through PayPal within 48 hours of auction end with payment in full (cash or certified funds must be cleared before car will be released) within 5 days from the end of auction. Unless sold locally, I will not remove it from ebay and sell it to anyone so, please, do not ask (I feel that would be cheating ebay and I won't do it). This car is being offered for sale "as is, where is" with no warranty whatsoever. I have never tried to ship a car before, but will work with you if you arrange everything...but only after payment in full has been made.
I am going to try and post a couple of pictures, but email me if you want to see other pictures or pictures of something specific (within reason). I can take pictures and email them to you. Well, that's all I can think of for now, thanks for looking.

I have taken more pictures but am having trouble uploading them. If you want more pictures, please email me. I looked more closely at the odometer today and the actual mileage is 18,793 rather than 18,200. More pictures will be added when ebay allows it.

Fiat 124 spied with top down
Sun, Sep 27 2015With fall officially here, the days are rapidly running out for much of the country to put the top down and enjoy a convertible. Fiat apparently wants to take advantage of the good weather while it lasts, given these fresh spy shots of the 124 Spider testing with the roof down. In terms of styling, these photos show the droptop with an extremely similar look to the ones from July. The roadster still appears to have rounded headlights and a wide grille up front, which the kidney-shaped cladding does nothing to hide. The hood bulge continues to be there, too, and so is the spiderweb-pattern camouflage. However, these new shots let us check out the roll hoops that are visible with the top out of the way, and we even get to see the manual roof in operation. Also, note there are now dual exhausts at the rear, rather than the quad tips from before. Underneath all this camo and cladding, we know that the 124 Spider shares underpinnings with the new Mazda MX-5 Miata. The engine remains a mystery, but competing rumors suggest the 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder from the current 500 Abarth or the 1.7-liter turbo four from the Alfa Romeo 4C. Thankfully, an answer might not be too far away because the roadster is mooted to debut this year, possibly at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. With the latest Miata receiving high praise from critics, the motoring world soon gets to find out whether Fiat can find any room for improvement. Related Video:
Weekly Recap: Tesla loses money, still dominates the news
Sat, Aug 8 2015Some people get an inordinate amount of attention. In politics, it's Donald Trump. In football, it's Jim Harbaugh. And in the auto world, it's Elon Musk and his always-fascinating electric car company, Tesla Motors. General Motors is spending $877 million to upgrade a factory. So what! US auto sales are up. Who cares? Tesla has a metal snake that will recharge your car! So was the week in Tesla – er, the industry. Snarkiness aside, Tesla did dominate the news cycle, led by the announcement the company lost $184 million in the second quarter. Tesla also said it expects to deliver between 50,000 and 55,000 vehicles this year, and is preparing for a full launch of the Model X crossover in September. Musk also made news during the earnings call by simply not answering a question about ride sharing, leading to speculation Tesla could be considering its own operation. While the financials were the arguably the most important company news, reports of a Model S cyber hacking were more compelling fodder for Tesla followers. Researchers were able to attack the sedan and bring it to a stop, though they required access to the car first. Tesla says it already has deployed a remedy for the situation. On a lighter note, Tesla published a video of its metal charger prototype that autonomously uncoils like a snake to power up the company's vehicles, provoking plenty of humorous comments and comparisons. Watch it and decide for yourself. While some of this might seem trivial, much of Tesla's recent attention has been warranted. It's the first startup US automaker in decades to launch from nothing and actually gain traction in the market. Sure, Musk is a lightning rod and Tesla always seems to be in the spotlight. But amid all of the publicity, it easy to lose sight of the new reality: Tesla is a force. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Volt lights up 106 MPGe The Chevy Volt's vitals are looking healthier for 2016. The second-generation plug-in hybrid racks up a gaudy 106 miles per gallon equivalent, which is an increase of eight MPGe from the 2015 model. The new Volt can travel 53 miles on electricity, a significant jump from the 2015 Volt's 38-mile range. The new car also has a 420-mile total range when factoring in the capability of the gasoline engine, which is 40 miles greater than the current car offers.
Mazda revamping dealers with 'Retail Evolution'
Sun, Aug 30 2015Mazda introduced its Retail Revolution dealership design language 12 years ago, which focused on open-plan spaces, multimedia areas, and allowing customers to interact with the brand before needing to interact with a salesperson. Two years ago the carmaker started work on the next step in its dealership design, and the new language, called Retail Evolution, was unveiled at Mazda of Everett in Seattle, Washington. Aiming to make the Mazda brand feel more premium and increase dealer profits, it goes even further on the open-plan to create "a new level of business transparency." It's all done with a lot of black, white, raw wood, metal finishes, and a lot of glass. Mazda Lounges will offer free wi-fi, and digital displays will replace static photographs. So as not to hurt showrooms still recouping their investment in Retail Revolution, Mazda will work with dealers to figure out how best to update facilities, and the Retail Evolution has three tiers that can be adapted to particular locations. The press release is below, a couple of renderings are above. MAZDA ANNOUNCES ALL-NEW RETAIL EVOLUTION DEALERSHIP DESIGN Mazda of Everett Showcases First Ground-Up Retail Evolution Design IRVINE, Calif. (August 27, 2015) – Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today announced its all-new dealership design, dubbed "Retail Evolution", featuring an open concept floorplan that offers a new level of business transparency, and a look and feel enhanced through the use of natural materials that results in an even more upscale decor than the company's current popular Retail Revolution design. The first Retail Evolution dealership built from the ground up to this exacting standard will be Mazda of Everett in Seattle, Wash., opening today. "Thanks to our KODO design philosophy and suite of SKYACTIV technologies, our vehicle lineup has never been stronger. We are now able to take that groundbreaking design language and translate it into our dealership experience," said Jim O'Sullivan, president & CEO, MNAO. "Retail Evolution embodies the spirit and direction of the Mazda brand, while offering an upscale experience our customers expect and deserve." Clad in premium black, clean white, and featuring new chrome Mazda signage, the new Retail Evolution Mazda dealerships will provide dealers with strong curb appeal. New materials throughout the building give dealers an upscale look and feel with warm raw-material tones of wood and metal in the showroom.
