I bought this car from a young couple who needed money. I've driven it about 25 miles Everything seems to work ok. It certainly is very fast and smooth. Drives and handles great. The tires are brand new Michellins with less than 1000 miles on them. Fabulous sound system. Lots of power options that all appear to work. A/C blows cold.

I've included a shot of the key on / engine off instrument panel so that all the warning lights can be seen to be functioning ok.

The worst thing about the car is that the former owners were in a hailstorm as they were moving from Illinois to NC. The car is covered with dents of all sizes. I tried to show them as best as possible. There is also a crease in the drivers side rear fender. The headlight covers are hazy. The headliner is coming loose in front of the rear window. The car could certainly use a good cleaning. I have the front floormats but they are dirty and stained.

I have a clear NC title in my name. It is a clear, regular NC title, and NOT a salvage or anything like that.

PLEASE READ BEFORE BIDDING

THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD AS-IS, WHERE-IS, WITH NO WARRANTY OF ANY SORT. Inspections by potential buyers or their representative are encouraged and welcomed. It is the buyer's responsibility to satisfy himself as to the condition of the vehicle before bidding or making an offer to purchase. The only exception on a warranty issue is if the buyer arrives to pick up the vehicle and discovers a major mis-description, then I will refund the deposit, no questions asked. This does NOT include cosmetic issues or anything already disclosed in the description.

I'm not going to jeopardize my 3000+ feedback just to sell a car.

Please ask all questions BEFORE making an offer. Please have your transportation and financial arrangements in place BEFORE making an offer. I hate to have to say this, but it seems that someone always misunderstands; a sale on eBay is just that. It is not an opportunity to come and kick the tires or negotiate. I try to clearly state and abide by my terms and eBay's rules. I expect everyone else to do likewise. If a potential buyer has less than 25 positive feedback, then I will generally ignore their offer or cancel their bid, UNLESS they contact me first by using the "ask a question" feature below.

There is a $500.00 non-refundable deposit due by verified PayPal within 24 hours of the conclusion of the sale. "Verified" means that the funds are in the buyers PayPal account, and not funded by a credit card. The balance is due within 7 days, and may be by cash, check, or bank-to-bank transfer. Any form of check will hold the vehicle and title for up to 14 days pending clearing. I can store the vehicle for up to 30 days after full payment. I will also assist with loading if transport is used, and have a good easy place here to load.

Mazda will decide who gets the MX-5 RF Launch Edition, like it's Ferrari or something

Thu, Aug 18 2016

When Mazda introduced the 2017 MX-5 Miata RF at the 2016 New York International Auto Show, the vehicle came as a surprise. Everyone was expecting a new Miata variant, but no one thought it would be a retractable fastback, especially one that looks this good. Mazda listened to all of the positive feedback and decided to offer the same vehicle from the auto show as a limited-edition model. But you can't just go down to the dealer and place an order, at least for now. It's called the MX-5 Miata RF Launch Edition, only 1,000 of them will be made, and they'll go only to Mazda's "valued customers." Instead of opening up orders to anyone, Mazda took a page out of Ferrari's book and is extending invitations to customers through email. The chosen few will have a specific amount of time to preorder the limited-edition model before the automaker gives everyone the opportunity to buy one, assuming there are any left. You might remember that Mazda did a similar thing with the first ND Miata roadsters – the 2016 MX-5 Launch Edition went to the first 1,000 customers that placed orders on www.longlivetheroadster.com. The Launch Edition is painted Machine Gray with a black roof panel and has Auburn Nappa leather on the inside Â– the same combination as the debut car. Future MX-5 RF models will be available with the same paint and leather, but will miss out on the black roof and special badges. Launch Edition buyers will also get a numbered Tourneau watch with the vehicle, and will only have just one choice to make Â– manual or automatic transmission. (We know which we'd choose.) Pricing for the RF Launch Edition has not been released, but we expect the regular RF to come in a little higher than the roadster's $25,750 base price. The MX-5 RF will go on sale early next year.

Did Mazda designer Derek Jenkins leave to head up a 'Stealth Project?'

Sat, Jul 25 2015

Not long after Derek Jenkins officially gave the 2016 MX-5 Miata to the buying world, he's left the Mazda building. Jalopnik reported that the head of design for Mazda North America changed the current job description on his LinkedIn profile to "Stealth Project." Mazda backed up the discovery with this reply to Jalop's inquiry: Derek left Mazda last Friday. He left on great terms in order to work on a new endeavor. We wish him the best of luck. He will be missed, but we are sure that he will do great things in the next chapter of his career. That "last Friday" would be July 17. Emphasizing the "stealth" bit in his new position, as far as we can tell, Jenkins still hasn't publicly answered any question about what he's doing. Every automaker has secrets, but traditional automakers usually make a hubbub about hiring big-name designers, especially one with Jenkins' resume. For his new employer to go all Ghost Recon with all information, well that's the kind of mystery this summer needs. The obvious culprit would be a certain fruit-named company in a certain Cupertino, CA office park. If that ends up being the case, Jenkins would be the second chief designer at Mazda NA to go electric: he replaced Franz von Holzhausen in the position after von Holzhausen went to Tesla. Various other Apple Project Titan hires have made the news, though. For all we know, Jenkins' project might not be automotive. So let's just go ahead and cue the speculation. We're looking forward to whatever he's got coming, and to whoever gets nominated to keep the full head of Zoom-Zoom going at Mazda NA.
