1985 Mazda RX-7 RX7 GSL-SE

This is originally a California car and is just out of storage. It was stored in an enclosed trailer in California for eight years before I purchased the car. The car retains all of its original paint and original equipment (the only thing that isn't original to the car is the radio). It has been well cared for and maintained.  The car runs, drives and stops perfectly. The tires are in excellent shape with lots of tread left. There are two sun roofs, one glass and one that is the body color of the car.

The car drives smoothly, brakes straight and accelerates like it should. On the freeway, the car tracks straight, true and smooth. The engine does not and has not ever exhibited any of the flooding problems that so many others experience with the 13B fuel injected engine. The engine runs well and has plenty of power and revs smoothly. The engine starts immediately, and there is no smoke from the engine either on start up or while driving.

The air conditioning blows cold, the heater blows hot, the cruise control works and the clock keeps time. The electric windows work, but are a little slow going up. Since there is an aftermarket radio, the center console four-way speaker control is not connected. The electric antenna does not raise up, but I have a brand new replacement electric antenna still in the box that will be included with the sale of the car.

Overall the exterior of the car is in excellent condition. There are some rock chips on the nose and a couple of door dings, things that you would expect for a car that is 30 years old, but overall, the paint is all original and in really good condition, as can be seen the pictures. The flat black window trim could probably use a repaint, but it is just wind-worn and I’ll leave that up to the new owner to repaint or leave as is. I wanted to leave it as original as possible for the new owner. All the glass is in good shape and there are no cracks. There is one small rock chip in the windshield on the passenger side that is not very noticeable. The interior is in very good condition. The only flaw is the steering wheel. The top of the steering wheel looks as if someone chewed off the top of it. As mentioned earlier, the only non-stock item in the interior is the radio. The carpets are in very good condition, having been protected by aftermarket floor mats. The seat upholstery is in excellent condition. The seats travel easily in their tracks and the seat back adjustments work as they should.

Included with the car is a front nose “Bra” in like new condition (not installed) and louvers for the rear hatch (also not installed).

I have a clear Washington state title in my name. The car is available for viewing by appointment and I encourage you to do so.

Down payment to be made by Paypal. Balance of the sale amount to to be paid by cashier's check within 7 days of the auction end.

Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, including shipping arrangements and costs. I will assist with the shipping on my end to the best of my ability. I will store the car for up to two weeks after the end of the auction to allow for time to arrange shipping.

Mazda bringing electric car to the Tokyo Motor Show

Mon, Sep 16 2019

In June this year, Mazda CEO Akira Marumoto told Automotive News Europe that "the first Mazda battery-electric vehicle will hit the market next year." Earlier this month, Mazda invited journalists to Oslo, Norway, to learn more about the automaker's EV plans and drive a prototype of the e-TPV powertrain, the letter designation standing for electric-Technology Prove-out Vehicle. Mazda had dressed the e-TPV production-intent powertrain under bodywork from the carmaker's new CX-30 compact crossover. Automotive News reports that Mazda will unveil its actual EV at the Tokyo Motor Show next month, which a Mazda spokesperson confirmed.     Mazda developed the powertrain in-house, engineered for buyers in dense urban environments. A 35.5-kWh lithium-ion battery powers a single electric motor wiith 141 horsepower and 195 pound-feet of torque. Range is said to be 200 kilometers (124 miles) on the city cycle, but that's likely on the Japanese or WLTP cycle that returns larger numbers than the U.S. EPA. The mechanical figures lie between the 28-kWh battery of the Hyundai Ioniq Electric and the 40-kWh battery of the standard Nissan Leaf. The EPA rates the less-powerful Ioniq for 124 miles of range, while the more powerful Leaf can go 150 miles. AN writes that Mazda's initial planned markets include Japan, China, and Europe where 124 miles is plenty for day trips. A version serving markets known for urban sprawl would employ a rotary engine range extender, a tech tidbit Mazda's spoken about regularly over the past year.   Iain Curry of Australian outlet Chasing Cars had good things to say about the e-TPV prototype he drove. Curry said the experimental car didn't offer strong regen braking and piped a mild four-cylinder soundtrack into the cabin to give drivers a connection to the ICE experience they're familiar with, but there's no word on whether the production vehicle will be set up the same way. Curry praised the handling, saying the e-TPV felt similar to a Mazda3 on the go and around corners. We'll get more concrete info next month in Japan. The show car in Tokyo will be a "brand-new model" on a new EV-specific platform, and don't be surprised by a compact crossover shape since the carmaker CEO said, "Our global crossover mix is currently about 60 percent."

Mazda going back to oval grille with next MX-5 Miata

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

The original Mazda MX-5 Miata was distinguished by an oval grille - a design trait that gradually evolved into the smiling cat face on the latest model. But Mazda, according to the latest intel, is planning on returning to that oval grille with the new model in the works.
The revised grille will cap a slightly longer form than models past, while still keeping weight down to a minimum. The stretched wheelbase was reportedly adopted in order to meet the requirements of Alfa Romeo, which is jointly developing the new platform together with Mazda for use on a new roadster of its own.
The new Miata is expected to adopt the 1.5-liter Skyactiv four found in the Mazda3, albeit returned to rev higher and deliver more power and torque, mated to either a six-speed manual or automatic. The Alfa version, meanwhile, is expected to use a 1.4-liter turbo four with a dual-clutch transmission. Sources anticipate the new MX-5 to debut first, possibly at the 2015 Chicago Auto Show a little less than a year from now.

Mazda3 sales off to rocky start despite massive critical acclaim

Tue, 18 Mar 2014

Like just about every other auto publication we've seen, we loved the way the Mazda3 drove when we reviewed it a few months ago, but those glowing reviews apparently aren't helping its sales. The new compact may be falling victim to a sales war between the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, with the newcomer getting squeezed out by those with more established names and bigger marketing budgets.
According to Automotive News, Mazda3 sales have fallen every month since last August, and its sales are down 27 percent in the first two months of 2014. It certainly isn't helping that the entire compact segment is down five percent this year as well.
The biggest problem for the new model seems to be its price compared to rivals. Mazda is not offering the incentives that are on the hood of competitors. With the previous generation, the company offered more than $2,700 on the hood to move them out, but the current model only carries about $1,233 in markdowns, according to AN.
