Up for sale is my 1985 Mazda RX7 GSL with 133k on
it. It is neither a showroom vehicle nor a basket case. You’ll get a garaged
car that’s a daily driver you can enjoy and work on along the way. It is in
good as is condition, being fun and reliable. Surprisingly it gets much
attention from different generations of people. Mark my words, these collectible
vehicles are getting closer to having their day in the sun. Here
are the pros… There
are no major rust issues with the car; the paint is average
with some clearcoat fading in some areas (see pics). It has a newer CD
player with a phone jack for your Smartphone. It also has Sirius satellite radio. I do have the original factory radio cassette with equalizer
included. Has the removable
sunroof, power windows, power mirrors (driver side doesn’t work), and
cruise control. Recent
service includes the front/rear brakes, front rotors, and brake
fluid flushed. Other
repairs in my ownership are: all belts replaced, changed spark
plugs, master cylinder replaced, thermostat replaced, igniter replaced, and
newer battery. Here
are the cons… Air
conditioning doesn’t work (never looked into, may be
a leak that needs sealing and perhaps an opportunity to convert to 134a coolant).
Heat does work. Power
steering doesn’t function due to a leak. I’ve already
replaced the pump (But I have no issues with driving). There
is a surface scrape on the very front corner of the right quarter
panel and bumper (see pics). HOWEVER,
I have a car bra (never used) that will cover the scrapes if you don’t want to
initially paint. It will come with the car. I have also a new unused, unpainted bumper cover and all used replacement parts (light
covers, rubber molding) to repair the scraped area should you repair and paint
down the road. It includes a shop manual (a reproduced edition). A $500.00 deposit via PayPal is required to hold the
vehicle and the balance is due upon pick up with a certified check only. Car
will be for sale locally in Cincinnati, Ohio. Feel free to contact me with
questions. |

Mazda books first yearly profit in half-decade, NA still a drag
Tue, 30 Apr 2013Automotive News reports Mazda has posted its first annual profit in five years. The company made $364.3 million in the last fiscal year, following a $1.14 billion loss the year prior. Operating profit also jumped up by $91.3 million to $572.8 million, thanks in part to a revenue increase of 8 percent to $23.42 billion.
But the news isn't all rays of sunshine. North America continues to be a problem for Mazda where the automaker posted yet another loss. The manufacturer lost $519.1 million last year, up from $427.8 million the year prior. While the launch of the CX-5 helped see US sales increase by 2 percent to 273,000 vehicles, the region as a whole bought up 372,000 units. Mazda had predicted closer to 380,000 units.
Even so, Mazda says it should have North America back in the black by next year, with the company forecasting a sales increase of 11 percent to 415,000 units in the region. That's thanks in part to a boost from the redesigned Mazda6 sedan.
2014 Mazda3 officially rated at 30/41 mpg, priced from $16,945*
Wed, 24 Jul 2013It's hard not to be smitten with the 2014 Mazda3; after all, just look at it. But beyond its slick lines, we found the new compact hatch to be a pretty remarkable steer, offering up good levels of comfort and refinement, not to mention functionality and engagement. Now, there's more reason to like the 2014 Mazda3, as we've just learned that the car will officially be rated at 30 miles per gallon city and 41 mpg highway.
That 30/41 rating is for the Mazda3 sedan fitted with the 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G inline four-cylinder engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. Opting for the manual transmission retains the 41-mpg highway number, but drops the city digits to 29. Hatchback models with the 2.0-liter engine achieve 29/40 mpg with the manual 'box and 30/40 with the automatic.
Mazda also offers a larger 2.5-liter inline-four in the 3, and while a six-speed automatic will be the only transmission available with this engine at launch, the automaker has confirmed that a manual is coming shortly. With the 6AT and 2.5, the Mazda3 sedan is rated at 28/39 mpg, or 29/40 with the company's i-Eloop regenerative braking system. Hatchback models shrink those numbers to 28/37 and 29/39 mpg, with and without i-Eloop, respectively.
