1985 Mazda RX-7 RX7 GSL-SE

This is originally a California car and is just out of storage. It was stored in an enclosed trailer in California for eight years before I purchased the car. The car retains all of its original paint and original equipment (the only thing that isn't original to the car is the radio). It has been well cared for and maintained.  The car runs, drives and stops perfectly. The tires are in excellent shape with lots of tread left. There are two sun roofs, one glass and one that is the body color of the car.

The car drives smoothly, brakes straight and accelerates like it should. On the freeway, the car tracks straight, true and smooth. The engine does not and has not ever exhibited any of the flooding problems that so many others experience with the 13B fuel injected engine. The engine runs well and has plenty of power and revs smoothly. The engine starts immediately, and there is no smoke from the engine either on start up or while driving.

The air conditioning blows cold, the heater blows hot, the cruise control works and the clock keeps time. The electric windows work, but are a little slow going up. Since there is an aftermarket radio, the center console four-way speaker control is not connected. The electric antenna does not raise up, but I have a brand new replacement electric antenna still in the box that will be included with the sale of the car.

Overall the exterior of the car is in excellent condition. There are some rock chips on the nose and a couple of door dings, things that you would expect for a car that is 30 years old, but overall, the paint is all original and in really good condition, as can be seen the pictures. The flat black window trim could probably use a repaint, but it is just wind-worn and I’ll leave that up to the new owner to repaint or leave as is. I wanted to leave it as original as possible for the new owner. All the glass is in good shape and there are no cracks. There is one small rock chip in the windshield on the passenger side that is not very noticeable. The interior is in very good condition. The only flaw is the steering wheel. The top of the steering wheel looks as if someone chewed off the top of it. As mentioned earlier, the only non-stock item in the interior is the radio. The carpets are in very good condition, having been protected by aftermarket floor mats. The seat upholstery is in excellent condition. The seats travel easily in their tracks and the seat back adjustments work as they should.

Included with the car is a front nose “Bra” in like new condition (not installed) and louvers for the rear hatch (also not installed).

I have a clear Washington state title in my name. The car is available for viewing by appointment and I encourage you to do so.

Down payment to be made by Paypal. Balance of the sale amount to to be paid by cashier's check within 7 days of the auction end.

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, including shipping arrangements and costs. I will assist with the shipping on my end to the best of my ability. I will store the car for up to two weeks after the end of the auction to allow for time to arrange shipping.

Consumer Reports declares most and least loved cars [w/video]

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Consumer Reports is crunching the numbers from its annual owner-satisfaction survey, and part of that process is finding out how attached drivers are to their cars. CR simply asks readers of models up to three years old if they would buy the same vehicle again in light of their entire ownership experience, and tallies the results. After looking at the responses for about 350,000 vehicles, it turns out that people really love a certain California-built, electrically powered luxury sedan. That's right, this year's the overall winner was the Tesla Model S with a whopping 98 percent of owners saying they would purchase another one (the Model S also won this award last year, with 99 percent satisfaction). The Chevrolet Corvette Stingray came in a close second with 95 percent of drivers hoping to park another one in their garage. A few models weren't quite so favored, though. The Nissan Versa Sedan was the least loved model among its owners; a mere 42 percent said that they would purchase another. The aging Jeep Compass didn't do much better, with just 43 percent of drivers willing to buy the softroader again. On average, about 70 percent of owners say they would buy their car again, and only four cars ranked below 50 percent in CR's findings. Check out the video above to see some of the winners and losers in a few of CR's categories. If you're a subscriber, you can check out the full list on its website.

Autoblog Minute: VW finds CO2 'irregularities', Takata dropped by automakers, SEMA recap

Fri, Nov 6 2015

Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle, US regulators hit Takata Corporation with a substantial fine, and we head to Las Vegas for a look at tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. Autoblog senior editor Greg Migliore reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal gets a new wrinkle. US regulators issue a significant fine to Takata Corporation. And we take a peek inside tuner paradise at the 2015 SEMA show. I'm senior editor Greg Migliore and this is your Autoblog Minute Weekly Recap. The VW diesel emissions scandal, first brought to light in September, gets a new wrinkle, as an internal investigation by the German automaker revealed [00:00:30] irregularities in CO2 emissions that could affect approximately 800,000 vehicles. VW estimates the issue could pose a 2-billion euro economic risk. VW claims that most of the vehicles affected have diesel engines, but industry analysts say a 1.4-liter gas engine is also affected. VW says that fuel consumption figures were set too low during the CO2 certification process. During all of this, sales of some diesel-powered Volkswagen, Audi, and Porsche models [00:01:00] have been halted. Takata Corporation is back in the news in connection with its deadly airbag scandal. Federal regulators fined Takata $70 million. If the parts supplier does not comply, the fine could balloon to $200 million. Takata was also dropped this week by its biggest customer, Honda. And now, Toyota and Mazda will be following Honda's lead in dropping Takata. We're also hearing that Mitsubishi and Subaru are considering a switch in air-bag inflator suppliers. SEMA 2015 [00:01:30] came and went. We saw offerings from Mopar, like the AWD Challenger concept. Honda unveiled a Ridgeline that it will race at the Baja 1000, which gives us a hint at what future production model could look like. The celebrity presence was also felt in Vegas as it always is. Kid Rock brought a Duramax Diesel Chevy Silverado, and Acura restored and presented Ludacris with his now famous 1993 Acura Legend. Those are the highlights from the week that was. Be sure to come back on Saturday for my full recap, [00:02:00] where I'll have some added insight into Hyundai's foray into the luxury sector. For Autoblog, I'm Greg Migliore. Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive.

Next Mazda CX-9 to launch by 2016, could get turbo-four

Thu, 01 May 2014

Mazda has a lot going on these days, what with launching the new Mazda6 and Mazda3, with the new Mazda2 just around the corner. We know the new Miata is also on the way, and after that it looks like the next vehicle in its lineup due for an overhaul is the CX-9 crossover, due to launch by 2016. The move makes sense because the CUV is growing long in the tooth. It was first introduced in 2007 and was refreshed twice since then.
The next-generation CX-9 will move away from Ford-derived components like the V6 in the current model and will likely use a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. However, a final decision hasn't been made yet. "If I ask Mr. Hitomi, our top guy of powertrains at Mazda, he believes the downsizing turbo solution costs more. But real downsizing means six-cylinder to four-cylinder turbo could make sense from a cost point of view," said Mazda's global marketing boss Masahiro Moro to CarAdvice at the New York Auto Show. The executive said a hybrid powertrain option would be unlikely, but markets outside the US could get a diesel, as well.
Moro also tipped his hand at future Mazda model plans. He hints that the Japanese automaker is considering building a luxury vehicle with a six-cylinder engine. "It's too early, we don't have a car yet. But we are collecting advice as to V6 or straight-six," he said to CarAdvice. We'll definitely be watching.
