Only 67k original miles!
This car is in great shape. I’ve never seen a cleaner interior on a car this age. No rust, engine pulls strong all the way to redline, it’s a true survivor. I am the 3rd owner. My girlfriend (2nd owner) purchased it from the original owner in May of 2011 with 42k miles. Title transferred to me in October of 2012. I have been using it as a daily driver since, and have used that experience to fix/repair/correct everything that could go wrong on a car of this age. I have the original paperwork from the sale to the original owner in 1985, as well as the original warranty paperwork (remember when there was a separate warranty for rust-proofing and cruise control?). When purchased from original owner in 2011, the seller disclosed the following work that had been done to the car: -Catless exhaust (Mazda) -Rat-Nest removal -Air pump removal -Repainted in 1995 (due to fading)
After purchase, we performed the following:
-Brake master cylinder rebuild -Sport springs from ReSpeed -New OEM brass radiator -New Fuel Pump
In the last 6 months, I have had the following done at the Mazda Dealer. All parts are OEM:
-New (less than 1k miles) Toyo Proxes -Pioneer entertainment system (CD, DVD, Bluetooth, etc) -Alternator -Water Pump -Starter -Pulleys (racing) and belts -Distributer Cap - Spark Plugs and Wires -Window Regulator -Wipers -Tie Rods - Ball Joints -Control Arms -Sway Bar links -All steering bushings -AC Re-charge -Alignment -Oil Cooler O-Ring
Some of the pictures are newer than others. The most recent have: Toyo Proxes tires and new radio. As you can see, I’ve put about $4,500 into it in the past 3 months to get it where it is now. And where it is now is awesome. If I were to keep it, I would likely finish off with fixing the few minor things that remain, which are:
-Repaint the SS trim, as it’s starting to chip/fade. Common to all RX-7 FBs, as they painted over Stainless Steel….. -Slight play in steering wheel. Again, common with FBs. I’d likely do a rack-pinion conversion if I were to keep it. -Re-Stretch the vinyl on the door panels. It’s not all that bad, but since the rest of the interior is in like-new condition, it sticks out to me (I’m picky). -Gas gauge: It works, but it registers 1/4 tank low. So when you fill the tank it shows 3/4 of a tank, and when it shows empty you’ve really got 1/4 tank left. Never really cared enough to fix that.
This car is not perfect, but it is very nice. There are a few minor scratches (mainly on the rear by the hatch latch from putting stuff in and out) as well as a rock chip or two and some barely noticeable tiny dings. Minimal, but I like to disclose these things. Absolutely NO RUST. And did I mention it drives great? Oil pressure is good, never even comes close to overheating, great engine response. I’ve had many cars in my life (BMWs, Corvettes, Porsches, etc) and never been complimented as much as when I drive this RX-7. It really is a looker, and a great car. Sale will include Mazda RX-7 car cover, as well as the original rubber pieces for the side and rear of the car (personally I think it looks better without them). Original Floor Mats in great shape, as well as aftermarket rubber floor mats. I’ll also throw in whatever extra bits I have laying around (spark plugs, Service Manual, etc) I welcome in-person inspections. I can also refer you to the service manager at Mazda that has performed all recent service. Clear title, no liens. Prefer local pickup, but can assist with shipping (at buyer’s expense) if needed. Any questions, just ask! |

Wards names its 2015 10 Best Interiors list
Fri, Apr 17 2015Wards Automotive has named the winners of its 10 Best Interior awards, covering a wide but affordable array of vehicles. Where last year's list contained two six-figure vehicles, including the $372,800 Rolls-Royce Wraith, this year's is, well, a whole lot more reasonable. The publication lists the Mercedes-Benz C400 at $65,000 (which seems off), making it the most expensive vehicle here. That said, we'd argue that the entire C-Class line deserves to make this year's list, owing to its varied and high-quality selection of materials. The other vehicle to break the $60,000 mark, meanwhile, is the $60,675 Ford F-150 King Ranch, which has 327,000 pounds of leather lining its interior. Only one other German car, the BMW i3, and one other pickup truck, the GMC Canyon, managed to make this year's list. Here's the full list of this year's winners: 2014 BMW i3 ($52,550) 2015 Chrysler 300C Platinum ($51,175) 2015 Ford F-150 King Ranch ($60,675) 2015 GMC Canyon SLT ($40,465) 2015 Honda Fit EX-L ($21,590) 2015 Jeep Renegade Limited ($33,205) 2015 Kia Sedona SXL ($43,295) 2016 Mazda6 Grand Touring ($33,395) 2015 Mercedes C400 ($65,000) 2015 Nissan Murano SL ($41,905) See what we mean about the mainstream vehicles? Not only is there a distinct lack of luxury brands, it's the price of some of the vehicles that surprise. The Honda Fit, Jeep Renegade and Mazda6 are very reasonably priced, especially when you compare Wards price with the starting price. The Renegade Limited starts at less than $25,000, the Mazda at less than $22K and the Fit at under $16,000. Head over to Wards for a more detailed explanation of why each vehicle won.

Mazda still really wants to bring diesels to America
Mon, Jul 25 2016Mazda's Skyactiv program has delivered much of what it promised for the brand's latest crop of products, namely great fuel economy and excellent driving dynamics. However, the Skyactiv diesel engine has yet to reach our shores. It's been promised ever since the new Mazda6 showed up here for the 2014 model year. According to a new report from Automotive News, Mazda's CEO Masamichi Kogai said that the Mazda Skyactiv D diesel powertrain is still set to make an American appearance. He told Automotive News that there is an internal timeline to get it to the States, and while he didn't reveal the timeline, he said he wants it to come here before he steps down as CEO. The powertrain is offered elsewhere, so it fits in the company's current vehicles, but the US has specific regulatory hurdles, and the engine's extra cost has to make sense from a sales and volume perspective. We doubt VW's diesel scandal helped the engine's sales pitch, either. Automotive News also reports that the next generation of Skyactiv designs and engines are also on their way and will advance and improve on the current generation's strengths. Engineers revealed to Automotive News that they expect a 30 percent improvement in efficiency and are developing an engine with the sky-high compression ratio of 18:1. This impressive ratio could be a further indication of Mazda's pursuit of homogenous charge compression ignition (HCCI) engines. Mazda has had plenty of success with its strategy of making very efficient internal-combustion engines, but there are some concerns that the company can only improve so much. The main worry comes from the company's lack of investment in hybrid and electric powertrains. Even Mazda's North American CEO Masahiro Moro expressed concern about meeting a 54.5 mpg mandate for 2025. That mandate will no longer take effect, but increasing fuel economy requirements will always be an issue. Related Video:
Mazda leads Consumer Reports' latest Brand Report Card Rankings
Thu, Feb 18 2021The latest automaker brand report cards from Consumer Reports are in, and there are quite a few changes for 2021. At the very top of the charts sits Mazda, up three spots over last year, followed by BMW and Subaru to round out the top three. It's interesting to note that mainstream brands (non-luxury in CR-speak) don't seem to be at a disadvantage in CR's rankings, with five of the top 10 spots. In addition to Mazda in first and Subaru in third, Honda, Toyota, Chrysler, and Buick were the other high-ranking non-luxury marques. The ratings are derived from "a combination of predicted reliability, and owner satisfaction based on member surveys, and CR’s hands-on analysis" and also includes safety features and crash test scores. At the very bottom of the list sit Mitsubishi, Land Rover and Alfa Romeo. "Our brand rankings don't just look at how models perform on our test track, but the broad picture of vehicle quality," said Jake Fisher, Senior Director of Automotive Testing at Consumer Reports. "Fortunately, consumers will find they have many options that are safe, enjoyable, and reasonably priced." The biggest jumps in the brand report card rankings come from Chrysler, Buick and Honda, which each moved up five spots compared to last year's rankings. The news wasn't nearly as good for Lincoln, which fell an alarming 15 spots this year, Genesis, which fell 13 spots, or Kia, which fell 10 spots. Related Video:
