Original And Immaculate,45k Miles,needs Nothing, Drive Anywhere,2 Owner Car on 2040-cars
Murfreesboro, Tennessee, United States
|
I am the second owner of this car. Purchased from the original owner 3 years ago. The original owner had this car as a second car and drove it only sparingly (as have I). I purchased it with 40k miles and have put an additional 4k+ miles on it. Always garaged and kept under a cover. Original owner kept all documents and books from the original sale of the car as new. I have manuals, extensive documentation, brochures, warranty pamphlet, two original keys, and even a binder with some Rotary Rocket Magazines from back in the day. Original owner claims that the car never needed any service or repairs beyond oil changes (which he did himself). Since owning the car, I have had some typical type repair work done. New brake shoes in the rear, new Brake master cylinder, New clutch master and slave cylinders. New battery, air filter and fuel filter. The car is in need of NOTHING now. Everything works as it should (except the power antenna) and the car starts, drives and performs as good as new. No smoking, no leaks no funny noises. All lighting is in working order as is the clock. The AC blows ice cold. I would not hesitate to drive this car anywhere or any distance. I always keep my vehicles in top running and top cosmetic condition.
The paint on the exterior is Formula White. The paint looks so nice that I find it hard to believe that the paint is original but the original owner claimed that it is. He said the front passenger fender was dinged at some point and repainted but you sure can't tell it. Must have been done correctly. The paint and all exterior items are in EXCEPTIONAL condition. Everything shines. No rust, no dents, nothing. If you get in the right light you can see a few extremely minor door dings in passenger door but they are so minor that they wont show up in photos. All glass, rubber, plastic etc is in immaculate condition. The underside and engine bay were rust-proofed when new and show ZERO signs of any rust. The wheels look new. The tires are Yokohamas and are in great condition. Appear to have at least 75% tread remaining. The interior is also in immaculate condition. Every last bit of trim and carpet is as good as new. I purchased the $500 set of dark brown authentic sheepskins, which you can see in the photos, to keep the seats nice. I also had two super thick, dark brown floor mats and a huge rear mat which covers the entire back half of the interior, custom made. They look awesome. There are no cracks in the dash. No loose interior pieces. No trim coming loose. Nothing. Its perfect. The original owner put an aftermarket, high end stereo in the car when new but was unable to locate the original radio for me. I had the unit he installed professionally removed and had $1500 worth of Alpine and JL audio equipment installed. The Alpine is an AM/FM/XM, cd and has an iPod plug. I had them install a powered FM antenna which is in the glove box. The antenna doesn't work well while stuffed in the glove box but I didn't want to mount it anywhere. They removed the original boxes mounted behind the seats (which I still have) and replaced them with the JL audio mids and Amp. The front speakers were replaced with JL speakers and the original grills were put back on. There is a removable JL sub in a brown carpeted box in the rear hatch area. Everything was done professionally and looks fantastic. The sound system will not disappoint. All components can be removed and easily replaced with original equipment if so desired. This car has ALWAYS been pampered. The new owner will not be disappointed. I don't sell much on ebay but check my feedback comments. I have sold a few of my vehicles over the years on ebay and the feedback has always been great. This is a really nice car. If you have any questions please email me. I can easily provide additional pictures or information if requested. If you are in the Nashville area and would like to come check out the car just let me know...I'd be happy to show it to you. |

Finalists for 2014 Green Car of the Year announced
Thu, 17 Oct 2013The list of finalists for the 2014 Green Car of the Year has been announced, and in a genuinely bizarre twist, there's only one hybrid and no electric vehicles among the five contestants, despite the arrival of cars like the BMW i3 and Tesla Model S. Taking the place of the EVs are a pair of diesels, repping a technology that last won a Green Car of the Year award in 2009, when the Audi A3 TDI took the title. No diesel was in the running for last year's award.
Naturally, both of the diesel finalists are fielded by the Germans - with BMW's 328d and Audi's A6 TDI getting the nod. In the case of the 3 Series, BMW installed a 2.0-liter, turbodiesel, capable of delivering 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque, while returning 45 miles per gallon on the highway. Audi and its larger, 3.0-liter, V6 turbodiesel produce quite a bit more grunt, with 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of grunt, but net a very impressive 38 mpg on the highway in the A6.
Finalists for this year's awards include two diesels, three gas-powered cars and a plug-in hybrid.
Mazda to relocate its US offices into Irvine's tallest building
Sun, Jan 17 2016Mazda is the latest foreign automaker to be moving its North American headquarters. Only this time, it's not moving further south. Instead, the Japanese automaker is simply relocating to another facility in Irvine, CA. In a little over a year from now, Mazda North American Operations will move to 200 Spectrum Center Drive (pictured in the rendering at right), taking up five of the 21 floors in Orange County's tallest building for a total of over 100,000 square feet of office space. It'll also take up half the lobby with vehicles on display and the exclusive naming rights on the top of the building. The facility, designed by Pei Cobb Freed & Partners, boasts full glass walls from floor to ten-foot ceiling for uninterrupted 360-degree views. Mazda has been in its current US headquarters at 7755 Irvine Center Drive (pictured above) since 1987. The five-story building was specifically constructed for the purpose and was the tallest in Irvine at the time. Prior to that it was based in Compton from 1970. The move to the new facility is scheduled to take place in February, 2017. Mazda's announcement marks only the most recent of foreign automakers to relocate their North American headquarters. Toyota is moving to Texas, Subaru to Camden, Lotus to Ann Arbor, Daimler to Farmington Hills, and Mercedes-Benz to Atlanta (where Porsche recently relocated, as well). Cadillac also recently moved from GM's Renaissance Center in downtown Detroit to its new headquarters in New York. Hyundai and Kia also quarter their North American operations in Irvine, as does Aston Martin. Meanwhile Honda and Toyota (for the time being) are based less than an hour away in Torrance, and Mitsubishi halfway in between in Cypress. Though they no longer sell passenger cars in North America, Isuzu and Suzuki still operate their US bases in SoCal as well, in Anaheim and Brea, respectively – all municipalities located just south of Los Angeles. Nissan and Subaru also base their US operations outside of California, with head offices in Tennessee and New Jersey, respectively.

2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata first in-car observations
Sun, 07 Sep 2014We've had few days to digest the all-new 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata since the roadster was first revealed on Wednesday evening when we offered you our first impressions. Since that time, we've gone back and looked at the car a number of times in person here in California, and we've even seen it briefly run under its own power (okay, it was more of a saunter). What we didn't get the chance to do at the reveal, however, was sit inside the car. We've since been able to remedy that, and while we haven't been allowed to drive the new roadster, we do have some initial in-car impressions to share with you.
First, the location and feel of the major controls is quite excellent. The three-spoke steering wheel is an MX-5 specific item - it's not shared with any other Mazda. That's vital, because others would likely be too big in diameter or have the wrong rim thickness. The wheel's redundant controls seem to be well laid out and the airbag boss is very small. The column tilts, but unfortunately and somewhat inexplicably, it still doesn't telescope.
Pedals are well-spaced, and the six-speed manual has the same short throws and positive engagement that we've come to know and love.
