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 engineers say current Skyactiv-X might not suit U.S. market

Tue, Jan 21 2020

We've been watching Mazda roll out the 2.0-liter four-cylinder Skyactiv-X engine in Japan and Europe, waiting our turn. When European authorities released fuel economy information for the high-tech motor last June, we wrote, "Mazda has yet to make an official decision on timing for the U.S market's launch of the engine." Automotive News spoke to Mazda engineers in charge of the powertrain, and based on the answers AN got, the question might not be when we get the Skyactiv-X, but if. Seems that the automaker now isn't certain whether the cost/benefit analysis for the U.S. market favors the engine, and there's concern the 2.0-liter might not be powerful enough for us with its current output of 178 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque. At the moment, our Mazda3 is served only with a 2.5-liter Skyactiv-G engine producing 186 hp and 186 lb-ft., not too far ahead of the Skyactiv-X. The Skyactiv-X would return better fuel economy, but requires a noteworthy price premium over the Skyactiv-G. The Truth About Cars says the Skyactiv-X has become the top-seller in the Japanese-market Mazda3, even though it costs 27% more than the base, 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G for a 9% improvement in fuel economy. Mazda's not sure U.S. customers would care much for that kind of math. Engineer Yoshiaki Yamane told AN, "Maybe U.S. customers require more power, because fuel economy is not the top requirement." There isn't much Mazda can do about the tech-heavy engine's cost, since pricey equipment like the high-pressure fuel injection and combustion systems, supercharger, three-way catalyst, and 24-volt mild-hybrid system provide the mileage gains that are the engine's reason for being. Instead, engineers are researching the system's effects with larger displacements. If it works as desired, a larger and more powerful Skyactiv-X could come to the U.S. on the large-vehicle architecture Mazda's developing for new sedans to arrive in a couple of years. That's the hope, at least. Remember, Mazda's Skyactiv-D was meant to go into the 2014 Mazda6, but didn't because Mazda said it needed more time to find "the right balance between fuel economy and Mazda-appropriate driving performance." After five years of "Soon," the engine showed up on the 2019 CX-5 that starts at $42,045. Based on that template, it could be awhile before we know how the U.S.-market Skyactiv-X story ends.

Mazda de Mexico celebrates 100,000th car built

Sun, Dec 28 2014

Automakers and their factories celebrate production milestones all the time. Some are interesting enough to report on and some aren't, but what makes this one stand out is that the plant opened less than a year ago. Just 11 months since production began, Mazda de Mexico Vehicle Operation has put together its 100,000th vehicle – in this case a Mazda2 hatchback headed for Europe. MMVO is one of three plants assembling the company's smallest model, also known as the Demio in Japan, where it is also produced, with additional assembly taking place in Thailand under a joint venture with Ford. The Mexican location also handles assembly of the Mazda3 for the Americas and for Europe. Mazda has announced that it is expanding production at MMVO by 150 percent of this year's capacity to 250,000 units per year by March 2016 as it takes on contract manufacturing for Toyota as well.
