1996 Mazda Miata - Low Miles - Hardtop - No Reserve on 2040-cars
Year:1996
Mileage:114890
Location:
Boise, Idaho, United States
|
I bought this 1996 Mazda Miata in August, 2013 after moving to Boise, Idaho. The Miata is alot of fun to drive, but it just hasn't turned out to be very practical for me. I would not hesitate to drive this Miata anywhere. I think that it is in exceptional condition for an 18 year old, daily driver sports car. Main Description - This car is very reliable. It has been my daily driver since August, 2013 and I have had no problems with it in 100°+ summer temps or 15° winter temps. It has relatively low mileage for an 18 year old car: 114,890. It has a factory hardtop with rear window defroster. It is equipped with the popular equipment package, which includes power windows, cruise control, and a Torsen limited-slip differential. It has good working heat and A/C. It currently wears NB Miata wheels with good Toyo Proxes tires and includes the original wheels wrapped in Nokian Hakkapeliita snow tires (yes, it is a lot of fun in the snow). This car has always been garaged by myself and the previous (long term) owner. This car has always been well maintained and includes lots of service records. I recently replaced a couple vacuum lines, replaced the valve cover gasket and CAS o-ring, and changed the transmission oil, differential oil, and engine oil. Full Disclosure of Known Issues - It leaks a small amount of gear oil from the transmission; sometimes a drop overnight, sometimes a drop every couple days. The power antenna does not always fully retract/extend; the antenna motor always runs properly, the problem is mechanical. The windshield has a couple of rock chips and lots of small pitting; it isn’t cracked, but replacing it was something I planned on doing. The driver seat upholstery is damaged at the left bolster. The horizontal surfaces of the hood and trunk have a number of small dings; the paint is not damaged in these areas. It is hard to photograph this, as the dings are small, but I have included a couple of photos which capture this to the best of my ability. The windshield washer nozzles need to be cleaned; they do not currently spray properly. |

Mazda's awesome Hiroshima museum now navigable by Google Maps
Fri, 15 Mar 2013Visiting an auto museum is one of the best ways we know to connect with car culture and to commune with the past and bone up on one's knowledge. Most of us have a decent museum within a few hours drive of where we live, but that doesn't mean it's easy to see the world's great collections - factors like cost, time and mobility can get in the way. Videos are great, but they don't allow us to browse at our own pace or choose what we'd like to focus on. The folks behind Google Maps have a solution - the virtual museum tour, as seen here at Mazda's fantastic museum in Hiroshima, Japan.
The Google Maps tour allows viewers to take a walk through the main exhibition area of the museum, and you can focus on specific classic cars from Mazda, or check out displays featuring new technologies like Skyactiv. To take a quick spin through the museum - or a leisurely stroll at your own pace - scroll down to start your own virtual tour.
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."
Mazda returning to top-tier racing with diesel-powered prototype in USCC
Thu, 14 Nov 2013Mazda has unveiled its latest challenger in the top flight of endurance racing, a diesel-powered prototype that will campaign the inaugural, 2014 Tudor United SportsCar Championship. The new Skyactiv-D-powered car will make its race debut at January's Rolex 24 at Daytona.
"This is the most significant step Mazda has taken towards returning to the global racing stage since our overall victory at Le Mans in 1991," said the director of Mazda Motorsports, John Doonan. That historic racecar, the rotary-powered 787B, has grown to become one of Mazda's many, well-known racers.
More recently, the Japanese brand has been making waves in the Grand-Am series, campaigning RX-8s and, most recently, running diesel-powered Mazda6 sedans in the GX-class. Mazda will campaign two factory-backed prototypes at Daytona. Driver lineups will be announced closer to race day.
