1988 Mazda RX-7 Convertible 5-Speed with 17,500 original miles Up for sale is an incredibly clean and original triple black manual transmission 1988 Mazda RX-7 Convertible with 17,500 original miles. See below for a complete description of the car. I have a small collection of sports cars and I have exceeded my storage with a recent acquisition ('93 RX-7 with 11k miles) thus need to sell a car.
Car History: I purchased the car from the 2nd owner in August of 2013 out of Georgia. It was previously in Virginia with the original owner since new. It has always been stored in a garage under a car cover and with a battery tender. The car has a clean car fax which verifies both the mileage and accident free history. Included with the purchase are the original Owner's Manual, Accessories Guide, Warranty book, Mazda Sales Brochure, Original Window Sticker, the original Purchase order, the like new convertible boot cover, and two keys.
Vehicle Condition: The car has zero rust and has always been a "sunny day" driver. I have driven the car to Las Vegas twice in the last six months and the car performed perfectly.
The body of the car is in great condition with no damage or signs or repair. The original paint is in very good condition and only has a few small rock chips on the hood. There are two places where touch up paint was used to repair very shallow scratches, one on each side of the car and are not visible in the pictures, but are in person. That said, the original paint shines bright.
The 13B rotary engine is more than sufficient to propel the car and with the 5-speed manual transmission you can get the most out of the high revving rotary engine. The engine has had required no work other than full synthetic oil & filter changes. Same goes for the transmission with no non-maintenance repairs. Both the engine and transmission are without issue and operate as the mileage would indicate.
All vehicle electronics are fully operational including the A/C which works great and does NOT need a charge, as well as the factory radio/CD player including the headrest speakers. I did replace the door speakers last fall, but everything else is stock and works great. The power top and latching mechanisms work perfectly and the top easily converts to a targa should you desire a less than full convertible experience. All glass is fee of cracks. The only item not working correctly is the remote truck release which works infrequently.
The "off black" original interior is in excellent condition with very little wear to the driver's side bolster. All gauges work accurately as do the dash lights, clock, and even the annoying "shift up" light.
The RX-7 sports Michelin MXV4 All season tires with about 2,500 miles on them. They sit on the OEM BBS rims that in my opinion fit the car's design perfectly. The wheels have no damage and look great.
Maintenance: Due to the low mileage and indoor storage, very little maintenance has been needed for this RX-7. I had the car inspected prior to my purchase and only the battery was in need of servicing, everything else checked out fine. I have receipts for the tires as well as the most recent oil changes, but otherwise these is not much to tell.
Overall this is an excellent condition original FC convertible that is a lot of fun to drive and is ready to be driven anywhere. The history is known and documented with original paperwork and a clean/clear Box A (original mileage) AZ title. The car is located in Chandler Arizona which is a suburb of Phoenix.
Auction Details: A $500 non-refundable deposit is required within 24 hours via PayPal. Final payment via bank wire or cash is due within 7 days of the auction ending. If the above is not complied with or other arrangements are not agreed to prior, the transaction will be canceled, negative feedback left, and the car will be re-listed. All shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer but I will assist in the pick up as needed. The car is located in Chandler, Arizona 85249. Thanks for your interest in my RX-7 and feel free to contact me with any questions. |

Mazda revamping dealers with 'Retail Evolution'
Sun, Aug 30 2015Mazda introduced its Retail Revolution dealership design language 12 years ago, which focused on open-plan spaces, multimedia areas, and allowing customers to interact with the brand before needing to interact with a salesperson. Two years ago the carmaker started work on the next step in its dealership design, and the new language, called Retail Evolution, was unveiled at Mazda of Everett in Seattle, Washington. Aiming to make the Mazda brand feel more premium and increase dealer profits, it goes even further on the open-plan to create "a new level of business transparency." It's all done with a lot of black, white, raw wood, metal finishes, and a lot of glass. Mazda Lounges will offer free wi-fi, and digital displays will replace static photographs. So as not to hurt showrooms still recouping their investment in Retail Revolution, Mazda will work with dealers to figure out how best to update facilities, and the Retail Evolution has three tiers that can be adapted to particular locations. The press release is below, a couple of renderings are above. MAZDA ANNOUNCES ALL-NEW RETAIL EVOLUTION DEALERSHIP DESIGN Mazda of Everett Showcases First Ground-Up Retail Evolution Design IRVINE, Calif. (August 27, 2015) – Mazda North American Operations (MNAO) today announced its all-new dealership design, dubbed "Retail Evolution", featuring an open concept floorplan that offers a new level of business transparency, and a look and feel enhanced through the use of natural materials that results in an even more upscale decor than the company's current popular Retail Revolution design. The first Retail Evolution dealership built from the ground up to this exacting standard will be Mazda of Everett in Seattle, Wash., opening today. "Thanks to our KODO design philosophy and suite of SKYACTIV technologies, our vehicle lineup has never been stronger. We are now able to take that groundbreaking design language and translate it into our dealership experience," said Jim O'Sullivan, president & CEO, MNAO. "Retail Evolution embodies the spirit and direction of the Mazda brand, while offering an upscale experience our customers expect and deserve." Clad in premium black, clean white, and featuring new chrome Mazda signage, the new Retail Evolution Mazda dealerships will provide dealers with strong curb appeal. New materials throughout the building give dealers an upscale look and feel with warm raw-material tones of wood and metal in the showroom.
Mazda3 Skyactiv-Hybrid and CNG Concept shown in Japan
Thu, 21 Nov 2013Mazda has received a tremendous amount of public and industry praise in the last few years, following up the successful introduction of its Skyactiv technology (powertrain and otherwise), with strong products like CX-5, Mazda6 and most recently, the Mazda3. At the Tokyo Motor Show, Mazda has taken yet another step forward with Skyactiv and the 3, showing the compact (called "Axela" in Japan) with an all-new compressed natural gas engine in the Skyactiv-CNG Concept.
The end result of the Skyactiv-Hybrid is fuel consumption estimated at something like 74 miles per gallon.
Mazda thinks that CNG-powered vehicles are due for an uptick in demand, and the company believes this new powertrain will add valuable breadth to the Mazda3 range. The CNG Concept is actually a duel-fuel vehicle, capable of running on either natural gas or gasoline. In fact, we're told that the high compression ratio (14:1) inherent in Skyactiv-technology gasoline engines makes conversion to CNG particularly simple.
10 most memorable cars and SUVs of 2019
Tue, Dec 24 2019It's no surprise that a car reviewer will drive a large number of cars over the course of a year. Indeed, when the clock strikes midnight on Dec 31, I will have driven 75 new cars, trucks and SUV this year (and one old Peugeot) over the course of weekly evaluation loans and first drive events. That sure seems like a lot. Some definitely got more attention than others, and some came and went without leaving much of an impression – I completely forgot I drove a Kia Forte. Yet in the spirit of this day, I thought I'd pick the 10 that I would love to see under the Christmas tree tomorrow morning. You know, just in case you were looking to get me something. I'll also throw in a couple disappointments that were memorable for the wrong reasons. They'd get sent back to the store on Boxing Day. Lexus LC 500 Pictured below and resplendent in its Flare Yellow metallic paint, the car that would reach highest on my list is the divine Lexus LC 500. As a devout lover of GT cars, the LC ticks all the boxes. Muscular and characterful engine? V8, check. Beautifully made and memorable interior? It's gorgeous, to hell with Remote Touch. Check. Comfortable and reasonably practical? Superb seats and, uh, yeah. Makes me want to stand there and stare at it? You bet. Though I long figured my heart would say LC but my head "Porsche 911," after this go-around, that's no longer the case. LC, pretty please. 2020-lexus-lc500-f34-2 View 19 Photos Polestar 1 I actually feel lucky that I got to drive the Polestar 1. Only 150 will be produced each year, and it's a far more special thing than it would initially appear. And that's despite initially appearing to be a beautiful, classic two-door GT car with a roof so rakish it's only possible because it's made of carbon fiber. That itÂ’s a massively powerful plug-in hybrid with more all-electric range than any other PHEV is a thick dollop of whipped cream on a slice of Toscakaka. You know, Swedish dessert, Swedish car. Fine, I'll stick to Ikea references. Polestar1_Launch_SanFrancisco-0014 View 44 Photos Volvo V60 Cross Country Speaking of Sweden, did I drive this car off the road there? Sure did! And despite this, the V60 Cross Country scratches that certain wagon itch and looks sensational to boot. I wish it were available with the T8 plug-in hybrid powertrain, but it's best not to get greedy at Christmas.
