This is my 1984 Mazda RX-7 which is a one-family-owned car since new. 

This is of the better-preserved examples of the first generation RX-7 you will find for sale.  This is an original, unmodified and unmolested car that has never been abused or mistreated. This car has always been garaged and was not driven in winter. 

I have the original window sticker which shows the purchase price of $12,765.00 in 1984.  This car has been in the same family since 1984 when it was bought brand new.  The car has always been serviced and maintained and kept in good operating condition.  

This is one of the most fun sports cars ever built.  It is a light, nimble RWD sports car with perfect balance and excellent power. It has a slick-shifting transmission, nicely weighted non-power steering, good brakes and an excellent chassis. This car is true classic- it is one of the most innovative automobile designs of the 1980's and one of the finest Japanese sports cars ever designed.  This is a superb driver's car.  The car is light, quick and responsive.  The Wankel rotary engine is ultra-smooth, with excellent power delivery and an intoxicating sound.  The 5-speed transmission is crisp and tight in shifting.  The suspension is tight and responsive and the car has superb balance due to the engine placement behind the front axle.  The brakes are excellent.  The overall driving experience is outstanding- these cars have a reputation as pure enthusiast's cars and they deserve it. 
  
This RX-7 starts and runs very well.  To start the car, you pull out the choke, and the motor starts perfectly every time.  The choke automatically releases when the engine has warmed up sufficiently.  The engine does not smoke or run rough.  The motor makes very good power and it is smooth and quiet.  

This car is a blast to drive.  The rotary engine is butter-smooth and makes excellent power.  The clutch is strong and the transmission shifts perfectly.  The steering is responsive and the brakes and handling are excellent.  This car has no known mechanical problems and there are no warning lights illuminated.  This is a reliable, dependable sports car with no known issues whatsoever.  I would not hesitate to take this car on a long drive anywhere. 

The body is straight, solid and clean.  I would say the car is about 95% rust-free with very little rust.  The underside and body are totally solid and in excellent condition.  The paint is clean and looks very good for the age.  The paint carries a nice gloss and looks very nice.  The exterior and body of this RX-7 are what I'd consider to be excellent for the age.

The interior of this RX-7 is in beautiful condition.  The carpets are clean and have been protected by the original factory floormats since the very first day the car was purchased.  The floormats were only removed for the photos.  The seat fabric and upholstery is excellent and looks great.  The dash is clean and in good shape.  This interior is very clean and in excellent condition- much nicer than you would ever expect for a 1984 car.

This car was purchased new in 1984 by Patricia Soya who lived in Illinois.  She kept the car in excellent condition and sold it to her brother James in 1991 when the car had 69,000 miles. During its lifetime, the car has always been garaged and it has been used for summertime driving only. This car has never been sitting for any length of time- it has been driven regularly on nice days for the past 30 years. 

This RX-7 is somewhat rare in that it was sold new without air conditioning.  30 years later, this makes for a lighter, less complex car without an A/C system that would be unlikely to work anyway.

Included with the car is the owner's manual, original window sticker, the original body-color steel roof in its vinyl bag plus a fitted front bra. 

This car is 30 years old and as such it is not brand new.  Please expect normal issues of wear and tear consistent with the age of the car.  Here is a list of all known issues: There are various small nicks, stone chips, small rust bubbles, minor scratches and other minor exterior defects, some of which have been brush-touched to improve the appearance. There are a few minor spots of rust- these are small in size and superficial only. There is some minor corrosion on the aluminum wheels. The paint on the hood and tops of the fenders is somewhat sun-faded and dull.  The original factory radio doesn't work. There is a ding in the front left fender behind the bumper.  

This car is kept in my garage in Willoughby, OH.

You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home.  You can also have the car shipped; please call Angels Moving Autos at 530-245-0481 for a shipping quote.

Dealers think Mazda's new Mexico plant will increase Mazda3 sales by 20%

Mon, 27 Jan 2014

Mazda3 sales in the US were down about 15 percent last year to a total of 104,713 units. According to a report from Automotive News, though, the slowdown in sales has been due more to production constraints than demand.
Good news for Mazda dealers, then, that a new plant in Salamanca, Mexico has just come online. Tom Carey, chairman of Mazda's national dealer council, told AN, "We're going to be in good shape because of that Mexico inventory." If estimates prove accurate, sales of the Mazda3 will increase by about 20 percent when the new plant begins production this month.
If those lofty projections come to pass, Mazda will reportedly be on track to exceed 300,000 total sales in the US in 2014, which would represent the brand's highest figures since its 375,000-unit peak in 1994. The brand hopes to sell more than 400,000 vehicles in the US by 2016, and with well-received products like the latest 3 and Mazda6 sedan, such expectations seem quite possible.

2014 Mazda6 recalled due to fuel overfill fire risk

Fri, 02 May 2014

Mazda is recalling 19,000 Mazda6 sedans from model year 2014, over concerns that the fuel tanks can be filled up too much. What is it with Mazda and fuel tanks?
The big concern is, obviously, spillage when filling up. There's also a risk that a radical temperature swing could cause the fuel volume to expand, causing a full tank to spill over without the driver knowing about it. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, if the fuel spills over, it could end up in something called the charcoal canister, which helps with the car's emissions. If it fills up the canister, it could leak out onto the road. None of this is really desirable.
The affected vehicles were all built between October 25, 2012 and May 9, 2013. It's unclear if there have been any fires due to this problem. Dealers should have been notified by now, while owners should begin receiving official recall notifications very soon.

2014 Mazda6 i-Eloop to net 40 mpg hwy, 28 mpg city

Fri, 05 Jul 2013

Even before Mazda unveiled the 2014 Mazda6, it had introduced its innovative, non-hybrid i-Eloop (Intelligent Energy Loop) brake regeneration system. This technology converts kinetic energy into usable electricity using the alternator, a DC/DC converter and a capacitor mounted just behind the front fascia. During deceleration, the alternator captures energy that is then stored in the capacitor, which can later be used to directly power electric devices like climate control and audio systems. When i-Eloop power is used, it reduces the load on the engine and helps to conserve fuel.
Now available on the Mazda6, i-Eloop is only available on the $29,695 Grand Touring trim level as a part of the $2,080 GT Technology Package, meaning that buyers desiring i-Eloop will have to spend at least $31,775 (not including destination). The added price of this technology should be worth it for those looking for optimal fuel economy as the i-Eloop, combined with the package's active grille shutters, will bump the sedan's fuel economy numbers up to 28 miles per gallon city and 40 mpg highway - both are improvements of 2 mpg over the standard Mazda6 Grand Touring. The GT Technology Package also includes a Sport mode, lane departure warning, high beam control, radar cruise control and forward obstruction warning - the latter two technologies are currently offered in a $900 package that is being discontinued.
i-Eloop will eventually be offered on other Mazda products including the 2014 Mazda3. Scroll down for the official press release on the Mazda6's fuel-saving i-Eloop technology.
