I am the second owner of this car. Purchased from the original owner 3 years ago. The original owner had this car as a second car and drove it only sparingly (as have I). I purchased it with 40k miles and have put an additional 4k+ miles on it. Always garaged and kept under a cover. Original owner kept all documents and books from the original sale of the car as new. I have manuals, extensive documentation, brochures, warranty pamphlet, two original keys, and even a binder with some Rotary Rocket Magazines from back in the day. Original owner claims that the car never needed any service or repairs beyond oil changes (which he did himself). Since owning the car, I have had some typical type repair work done. New brake shoes in the rear, new Brake master cylinder, New clutch master and slave cylinders. New battery, air filter and fuel filter. The car is in need of NOTHING now. Everything works as it should (except the power antenna) and the car starts, drives and performs as good as new. No smoking, no leaks no funny noises. All lighting is in working order as is the clock. The AC blows ice cold. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere or any distance. I always keep my vehicles in top running and top cosmetic condition.

The paint on the exterior is Formula White. The paint looks so nice that I find it hard to believe that the paint is original but the original owner claimed that it is. He said the front passenger fender was dinged at some point and repainted but you sure can't tell it. Must have been done correctly. The paint and all exterior items are in EXCEPTIONAL condition. Everything shines. No rust, no dents, nothing. If you get in the right light you can see a few extremely minor door dings in passenger door but they are so minor that they wont show up in photos. All glass, rubber, plastic etc is in immaculate condition. The underside and engine bay were rust-proofed when new and show ZERO signs of any rust.
The wheels look new. The tires are Yokohamas and are in great condition. Appear to have at least 75% tread remaining.
 
The interior is also in immaculate condition. Every last bit of trim and carpet is as good as new. I purchased the $500 set of dark brown authentic sheepskins, which you can see in the photos, to keep the seats nice. I also had two super thick, dark brown floor mats and a huge rear mat which covers the entire back half of the interior, custom made. They look awesome. There are no cracks in the dash. No loose interior pieces. No trim coming loose. Nothing. Its perfect.

The original owner put an aftermarket, high end stereo in the car when new but was unable to locate the original radio for me. I had the unit he installed professionally removed and had $1500 worth of Alpine and JL audio equipment installed. The Alpine is an AM/FM/XM, cd and has an iPod plug. I had them install a powered FM antenna which is in the glove box. The antenna doesn't work well while stuffed in the glove box but I didn't want to mount it anywhere. They removed the original boxes mounted behind the seats (which I still have) and replaced them with the JL audio mids and Amp. The front speakers were replaced with JL speakers and the original grills were put back on. There is a removable JL sub in a brown carpeted box in the rear hatch area. Everything was done professionally and looks fantastic. The sound system will not disappoint. All components can be removed and easily replaced with original equipment if so desired.

This car has ALWAYS been pampered. The new owner will not be disappointed. I don't sell much on ebay but check my feedback comments. I have sold a few of my vehicles over the years on ebay and the feedback has always been great. This is a really nice car.

Prices on ebay for these cars seem to be all over the place. They seem to range from $5000.00 to $8000.00 for the nicer ones. My reserve price falls somewhere in the middle. Please do NOT email me asking for my exact reserve price. 

If you have any questions please email me. I can easily provide additional pictures or information if requested. If you are in the Nashville area and would like to come check out the car just let me know...I'd be happy to show it to you.

Mazda CX-5 named Japan's Car of The Year, Subaru BR-Z wins "Special Award"

Mon, 03 Dec 2012

The Mazda CX-5 stamped its Kodo design and SkyActiv technology authority all over the Japan Car of the Year awards, taking the top prize ahead of the Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT 86. It is Mazda's second victory in the last ten years, the 2005 MX-5 claiming the same trophy, and the fourth time the Hiroshima company has won.
The award is decided by 60 local "automotive experts and journalists," and open to any passenger car released in Japan from November 1, 2011 to October 31, 2012 that has sold more than 500 units. Each judge gets 25 votes, his or her top vote getting 10 points, the rest of the points being spread among the judge's choice for the next best four cars.
The second-place getters were the Toyobaru twins with 318 votes, the surprise being they didn't beat or get any closer to the crossover. The Subaru BRZ did claw some mojo back, earning the Special Award given to cars that have made "an exceptional impact." The BMW 3 Series was third overall and won the Import Car of the Year award with plenty of room between it and the second place Range Rover Evoque.

Mazda to reveal MX-5 Miata Club Edition in New York

Thu, Mar 26 2015

Mazda is bringing a new version of its latest MX-5 Miata to the New York Auto Show. And while it's giving us very little to go on at the moment, from what we can tell so far, it looks promising. For starters, it's called the Club Edition, which speaks to us of enhanced performance – particularly on the track. For another, the statement below highlights the "maximum driving enjoyment" the existing MX-5 was "designed to deliver," and then proceeds to claim that the Club will "amplify that experience, harking back to the early lightweight sports cars that inspired it, but serving as a beacon for the future as a thoroughly modern, sophisticated package." Hopefully, then, it'll serve as some sort of road-going mid-point between the stock version and the Global Cup racing concept pictured above. We'd expect the 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to carry over likely unchanged with its 155 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque, but with the potential addition of a stiffened suspension, upgraded rolling stock, revised aero, enhanced cockpit and maybe some excess weight trimmed out – although the new Miata doesn't have much to lose as it is. In any case, we're excited.

The 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata Club edition, that is. Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) will be introducing the North American-spec MX-5 Club next week at the New York International Auto Show. The MX-5 Club represents the most aggressive road-going iteration of Mazda's fourth-generation flagship roadster. The 2016 MX-5 sheds approximately 150 lbs. from its predecessor through use of lightweight, efficient SKYACTIV®1 TECHNOLOGY, now weighing 2,332 lbs. when equipped with the standard SKYACTIV-MT six-speed manual transmission (2,381 lbs. with the six-speed automatic). Powering all North American models will be a 2.0-liter SKYACTIV engine, rated at 155 horsepower and 148 lb-ft of torque. Shorter than the first-generation MX-5 that initially graced U.S. shores in 1989, yet wider than the outgoing model and with its engine lower and farther back in its chassis, the 2016 MX-5 is designed to deliver maximum driving enjoyment.

Buy a Fiat 124 Spider Abarth, get a free day of driving school

Fri, Aug 19 2016

We know the Mazda MX-5 Miata and the Fiat 124 Spider are basically the same car underneath. As we pointed out in our first drive of the 124 Spider, the two cater to different drivers, so it can be tough to choose a favorite. FCA has made deciding between the two sports cars a little harder, as it will offer Abarth owners a free day of high-performance driving instruction with their cars. Anyone buying or leasing a new Fiat 124 Spider Abarth or a Fiat 500 Abarth will get a free, one-day class at the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving in Phoenix. Bundling driving school with brand-new performance cars isn't unheard of – Dodge and Bondurant recently announced a similar program for the Viper – but it is quite rare for vehicles priced below $30,000. The free session will include instructor-led skid, autocross, slalom, and team rally cross activities, in addition to hot laps. While the one-day course is included for free, travel, food, and hotel expenses aren't covered. Fiat-less people can also join in on the fun buy purchasing the Abarth experience separately. Bondurant one-day classes cost at least a grand, which makes the Fiat price of $0 a good deal as long as you can get yourself there relatively cheaply. But is this enough for drivers to choose the 124 Spider Abarth over an MX-5 Club? This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.
