Year:1991 Mileage:130988

Plainfield, Indiana, United States

Plainfield, Indiana, United States

Good:130K runs very good, starts everytime, shifts very good, new parts: clutch and master cylinder, timing belt, brakes, front and rear seals, newer battery.  Body is OK, I was going to do some sanding and touch up this Summer to make it look real, painted it myself 5 years ago, not factory finish but not bad.  (TPC Classic White is the color)  Heater is great.  Great gas mileage.  Good tires.  Bad: Needs front and rear suspension work and you will be dealing with significant rust. The back tires are slightly bowed out and need to be adjusted but again there is some significant rust and that is an issue. (Although it drives fine it will need suspension work sooner or later.)  The front lights need a new retracter rod to operate properly so I just leave them up. AC does not work.  Back window on convertible top is cloudy and not smooth (see picture).  Driver side window is hard to roll down, it works however.  This car is 23 years old and has various wear and tear items.  I have owned this car for 7 years.   Hardtop by itself is worth $500.  5 cars and 2 kids in college time to thin the herd.

Mazda's first profit in five years in sight due to weak yen

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Automotive News reports Mazda is set to turn a profit for the first time in five years. The automaker is more dependent on exports from Japan than other automakers based in that country, and as a result, it has long suffered at the hands of a strong yen. But the currency has declined in value by some 16 percent over the past six months and Mazda's shares have tripled in value to their highest level since 2008. Contrast this situation to a year ago when Mazda printed 1.22 billion new shares to raise cash. The move was equivalent to 70 percent of the company's then-outstanding stock, and values tumbled to record lows as a result.
Now that the yen has fallen to a value of around 96 per dollar, Mazda operations in the US are more profitable and the company now projects it will earn around $279 million for the next fiscal year. Automotive News says a one yen change against the dollar can have a 9.1 percent impact on Mazda operating profit compared to 4.7 percent at Subaru parent Fuji Heavy Industries or 3.1 percent at Toyota. Those automakers better insulate themselves from currency fluctuations with overseas manufacturing facilities.

Mazda CX-3 crossover coming to LA

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

The Mazda booth at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show will showcase some new crossovers. In addition to the refreshed CX-5 that we're expecting, the Japanese automaker has announced plans to unveil its new CX-3 compact crossover.
According to Mazda, the brand's entry into the compact CUV market will feature "the full range of SKYACTIV technology and KODO - Soul of Motion design." We take that to mean lightweight chassis and body architectures along with fuel-sipping gasoline and, perhaps, diesel engines.
The CX-3 will have to take on a slew of upcoming competitors, including the Honda HR-V, Chevrolet Trax and Jeep Renegade, and reports indicate it will share a platform with the Mazda2, which is just starting production in Mexico. We don't yet know if it will be front-wheel drive only or if all-wheel drive will be optional. The CUV is also likely to share the Mazda2's engine, which isn't yet revealed for the North American market. Japan gets the 2 with either a 1.3-liter gasoline engine or a 1.5-liter diesel.
