2001 Metallic green Mazda Miata with original tan top, tan leather interior and carpets with Nardi Torino trim and factory Bose stereo. Top has glass rear window with built in defroster. This was the first year for the NB generation (1999-2005) facelift including restyling of the front bumper cover and adding fog lights. This was also the year that variable valve timing was introduced bumping up power and fuel economy. The transmission is a 6 speed manual.

Overall the car is in good condition and is clean. The car has 143,000 miles and has normal wear and tear like some wear on floor mats, drivers leather seat a few minor scuffs and scratches in paint etc. the car runs and drives great (I have been getting 32-35mpg driving it back and forth to work). It has new wheels and tires (wheels from 2013 Mini Cooper) and continental extreme contact 205/45ZR16 tires with less than 10,000 miles on them. The car is inspected in PA until May 2014. I have the title in my hand and also a copy of the car fax (clean/no accidents).

The car is being sold as it is a 2nd vehicle used to commute to work but my company has opened a satellite office that is only 25 miles round trip compared to the 80 I was previously driving. 
There are 2 issues with the car that require or will require attention in the near future. These are both common problems that plague the Miata.

1. The rear main seal has a very slow leak (few drops of oil when parked overnight/extended period of time)
2. The passenger side outer rocker panel (body/cosmetic only) has an area of rust. The structural panel underneath is only pitted and does not require repair at this time. I was planning on cutting away the rusted metal, coating with rust inhibitor and installing factory side skirts which I purchased directly through Mazda to cover the area. I have not done this work yet since I decided to sell the car I want the buyer to be able to repair in whatever way they see fit. The side skirt kit is going to with the car to the buyer. The driver side is showing signs of rusting from the inside also but it has not yet shown on the outside. Another option is purchasing new stamped steel outer rocker panels and cutting the bad part out of the existing panels and welding the new ones in. The prefabricated panels cost $90 each side.

25th Anniversary Edition Mazda MX-5 Miata sells out in 10 minutes

Wed, 21 May 2014

Looking to buy one of the limited-edition 25th Anniversary Mazda MX-5 Miata roadsters? Well, you're too late. According to Mazda, all 100 examples of the darling two-seater have sold out - and it only took 10 minutes.
On Tuesday, Mazda opened its pre-order site for the limited-run Miata, and had intended to keep the site running until May 31, or until 250 customers were registered, whichever came first. Just 10 minutes later, 250 people had signed up. Now, Mazda will contact those folks, and the first 100 that are verified will be given the opportunity to pre-order the unique MX-5. "Upon verification of purchase intent and transmission selection, the customer's information will then be forwarded to the dealership of their choosing to finalize the transaction," Mazda said in a press release.
The 2015 MX-5 Miata 25th Anniversary Edition models will arrive at dealers this summer, retailing for $32,205 with the six-speed manual, or $32,655 for those desiring the automatic transmission. Based on the PRHT (Power Retractable Hard Top) model, the limited-edition Miata adds Bilstein shocks, a Soul Red metallic paint job (the same found on the gorgeous Mazda6) with a contrasting black roof, gunmetal wheels and an off-white leather interior. Special badging will be found inside the car, and buyers will also be treated to a custom-crafted Tourneau watch and a display winder box.

NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors

Wed, 22 Oct 2014



Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.

Recharge Wrap-up: Mazda, Subaru and Toyota PHEV, Nomadic Power grant

Sat, Jun 20 2015

The next generation of the Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid looks to be important for Mazda and Subaru as well. Toyota will likely need to sell more of the new plug-in hybrid to meet stricter ZEV standards in California. That means it will get more extra electric range, as customers have been asking for. Subaru and Mazda will also have to adhere to the California standards beginning in 2018. Those two smaller automakers will likely license a plug-in hybrid powertrain from Toyota in order to fulfill compliance. Read more at Green Car Reports. Tesla is partnering with Dalhousie University to improve battery technology. Tesla signed a five-year research agreement with Dalhousie's Jeff Dahn, a lithium-ion battery researcher. Dahn and the 25 researchers in his lab will work with Tesla's Director of Battery Technology, Kurt Kelty, to increase capacity through improved materials. The collaboration could be important both for Tesla's automotive and stationary batteries. "Our research group's goal is to increase the energy density and lifetime of Li-ion batteries, so we can drive down costs in automotive and grid energy storage applications," says Dahn. Read more from Dalhousie University. Nomadic Power is receiving a European Commission grant worth ˆ2 million (about $2.26 million) for trailer-mounted mobile batteries. Nomadic Power's mobile batteries, called Nomads, have incorporated photovoltaic systems and can be used to extend the electric driving range of a plug-in vehicle, or to provide backup power to a home. The Nomads use an intelligent energy management system to learn and predict user behavior and manage the solar system based on weather forecasts. "We see a strong future in electric-powered mobility and an increasing use of renewable energy, photovoltaic power in particular," says Nomadic Power CEO Dr. Manfred Baumgaertner. "Our mobile batteries have great potential in these markets that recently got a significant shot in the arm by Tesla's announcements." Read more from Nomadic Power, and at Green Car Congress.
