1988 Mazda Rx-7, All Original, 60,000 Miles, Original Paint, Cold A/c, Excellent on 2040-cars
Willoughby, Ohio, United States
This is a NO RESERVE listing.
This is my 1988 Mazda RX-7 GXL 5-speed coupe with 60,342 original miles. This has got to be one of the cleanest, most-original, best-condition 2nd-generation RX-7 models for sale in the country. Not many of these cars exist with such low miles, original paint and in superb mechanical condition- this car is outstandingly nice. This car has the following equipment and options:
I have the original books, manuals and dealer brochures with the car as well as two keys. This car is in exceptional condition for its age. This car hasn't been modified, hacked up or molested in any way. This is a completely stock, original-condition car that runs and drives perfectly. I would trust this car to drive across the country if someone wanted to. The paint and body of this car are in quite good condition for a 1988 vehicle. The paint is original, and the car hasn't been in any known accidents. The paint looks superb for it's age, with excellent gloss and very few stone nicks and no major problems. The body is clean and very nice. The aluminum wheels are in very good condition, the glass is all good and the tires are nearly brand new. The interior of this RX-7 is very well-preserved and in great condition. The seats, upholstery and carpets are original and they are clean and aren't ripped up or worn out. The seat fabric is very nice and the carpets and even the factory "RX-7" floormats look nice. All of the switchgear, buttons and interior hardware are clean and aren't worn out and nothing is missing or broken. All the interior buttons and switches are working, as well as all of the gauges. The warning lights on the dashboard and gauge cluster are all working properly when the key is turned forward, and they all properly go out when the car is started. This RX-7 runs and drives beautifully. This is a tight, stable, nimble and fun-to-drive car that drives exactly how you would expect a 60,000 mile car to drive. The rotary engine starts perfectly and it doesn't smoke or leak, and it makes plenty of power. The engine doesn't burn oil nor coolant nor does it smoke even under full throttle. The engine revs to 2800 rpm when starting just as it should, and then settles down into a smooth idle. The transmission shifts well and the clutch is strong. The steering is tight, and the handling is excellent. The brakes are smooth and powerful and they stop the car very well. This is a super-driving, rewarding, fun car that runs and drives just as it should. I know of no mechanical or electrical problems, and everything is working- the air conditioning, the factory radio and EQ, the power locks and windows, the front and rear windshield wipers, the trunk hatch release, the sunroof, the headlight motors, etc, etc. This is a 1988 car and as such it is not a brand-new car. Here is a complete list of everything I know of wrong with the car, no matter how minor: you have to help the sunroof up when opening it- just push up gently while holding the button- after that the motors power it back just fine and it closes just fine. There are many dings on the sides of the car, mostly above the beltline and more on the passenger side- this is what I'd call "garage wear". These dings could of course be fixed but then the car wouldn't have original paint- that's why I've elected to leave them alone- the new owner may feel differently. There is a small split in the vinyl side panel of the outside of the driver's seat- you can see this clearly in the photo. There is some paint checking on the driver's side. There is a tiny bit of surface rust due to some stone nicks on the inside lip of the right rear wheel well that has been brush-touched (otherwise the car is rust-free). You can't rush the 1-2 shift under very high rpms, you need to shift relatively slowly- under normal lower-rpm driving there is no issue at all. There is a defroster vent at the left corner of the dash that is missing its louvers. One "Mazda" center cap is missing from the aluminum wheels. That's it. This is a super clean, beautiful condition RX-7 for the age. This car is kept in my climate-controlled garage in Willoughby, OH. You can fly in to Cleveland (CLE) and drive this car home if you wish. Alternatively, you can have the car shipped. Please call Angels Moving Autos at 530-245-0481 for a shipping quote. Questions, please email me or call/text me at 440-339-4341. |

2015 Mazda3 shows its shape
Tue, 12 Feb 2013Mazda's new Kodo design language is set to quickly spread across the automaker's entire lineup, judging by these spy shots of the next-generation Mazda3 that show some very familiar styling cues. No matter, we're impressed with what Mazda has done on the CX-5 crossover and Mazda6 sedan in terms of design, and we're happy to see the C-segment hatchback ditching the smile-for-a-mile Nagare design.
It's unclear what sort of architecture is found below the new Mazda3 - our spy shooters suggest that the car could simply be using a heavily massaged version of the Ford C1 platform found under the current car. Our best guess is that it's actually a reworked version of the platform used in the CX-5 crossover, however, chocked full of weight-saving Skyactiv technologies. After all, the CX-5 plays in the compact CUV segment, and those vehicles are commonly based on C-segment platforms. And besides, there's probably some economic savings at work with the new chassis - both in terms of fuel efficiency and economies of scale. Still, no one is totally certain what lies under all that black-and-white paper at the moment.
The new Mazda3 is targeted to arrive for the 2015 model year, meaning we could see a final production car debut as early as this year. We expect the hatch you see here to debut along with a traditional four-door sedan, and unless we hear otherwise, we don't doubt that a Mazdaspeed version will be far behind.
Carmakers, NHTSA to unveil auto-emergency braking agreement tomorrow
Wed, Mar 16 2016Happy St. Patrick's Day Eve. Tomorrow, there will be green beer, corned beef and cabbage, and automatic emergency braking for all. Weird combo, we know. But on St. Patty's we can expect an official announcement from a pact of automakers making auto-braking systems standard equipment by 2022. That's per a report from Reuters, which cites three sources familiar with the plans. Originally announced in September 2015 by 10 automakers and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the agreement is expected to be even larger when the details are unveiled tomorrow. According to Reuters, the manufacturers of 99 percent of the US domestic market's vehicles will be represented by the new agreement. It's believed that standard AEB systems could prevent thousands of accidents across the country. Expect more on the official announcement when it's made. Related Video:
Hyundai, Mazda and Ford offering support to victims of Colorado flooding
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Hyundai, Mazda and Ford have initiated programs to aid victims of the recent floods across Colorado. Hyundai is stepping in to give help directly to drivers, offering those with flood-damaged vehicles a $750 credit on a new Hyundai. "At this stressful time, the last thing flood victims should be concerned with is how they are going to replace their water-damaged or destroyed vehicles," Dave Zuchowski, executive vice president of Hyundai's American sales, said.
The Hyundai program will run from September 18 through the end of October, and will cover all citizens in counties declared disaster areas by FEMA. Residents will need to provide proof of residency and a letter from their insurance company describing the damage to their vehicle.
Mazda, on Friday, announced that it'd be donating $25,000 to the American Red Cross and a further $15,000 to the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, in the name of disaster relief. Mazda's President and CEO, Jim O'Sullivan, said, "The flooding across the states of Colorado, Texas and New Mexico has been absolutely devastating for not only the people living there but their four-legged loved ones as well. Mazda hopes that those in need can get the help they deserve through such great organizations as American Red Cross and Humane Society of Boulder Valley."
