The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections.Seller Notes:"Please read description for list of all recent work done in past 4 months, it's more $$ than the selling price!"

PLEASE NOTE: I work for myself & can be readily avaiable to be here to have the car picked up, I can also afford up to 24 hours of travel at a time to deliver the car for a small fee plus estimated fuel cost.

Ok, so here is the deal... I purchased this vehicle in January for a much anticpated 3 month summer road trip.  I dumped just about $2,300 into making this thing run & drive like a CHAMP.  And it does!  But then the girlfriend ditched me, I cancelled the trip & I just don't need this style of car for myself.  This car is TIGHT.

The blue book value in "fair" condition is $2300, which this is certainly well above fair... especially once you see the "just done" work list!

But since this is an online listing, I more than welcome phone calls to discuss condition notes & recent repair list.  This car needs NOTHING & is a turn key & drive away with no worries! My feedback here on ebay can be some assurance I like to treat people right all the time, no matter the purchase size!  My number is lower in this listing.

This is a 1998 Mazda MPV All Sport.
It's a 2wd vehicle, with a push button AWD transfer case... but what's really unique and awesome, is there is another button that locks the rear differential making it a 4WD.  The best of ALL worlds!

The basics:
Awd/4wd
V6
4 Door
Rear hatch
Power windows
Power doorlocks
AC front & rear
Fog lamps
Roof rack (cartop carrier NOT included in sale)
seating for 7 (rear seats currently not in, will be for test drive)
Towing package (2.5" receiver)

A partial list of whats been done in the past 5 months (receipts for all):
Timing belt & all pulleys ($785)
Water pump
All lifters & rockers (pretty much rebuilt motor)
Valve cover seals
Rear air shocks ($600 repair) (car came with "auto leveler" but has been disconnected as they are $2k to replace)
$160 Optima Redtop Deep Cylcle battery
Full transmission flush & service
New exhast (from catalytic converter back)
Drivers power window setup (the whole inside of the door replaced, $395)
Starter
Plugs, wires, caps, rotor (less than 1 month old)
Rear wiper motor
Fuel Pump
Fuel filter
Throttle position sensor ($180)
And tons more that I just can't remember currently.

Passed DEQ with flying colors.  Current oregon tags
Starts instantly, shifts smoothly & is a TIGER in the snow & sand, a great AWD!
Interior is in good shape, some very minor spots & stains but nothing too funky, custom $80 deep well floor mats.
Tires are all at least 70% tread left, one is 95% & are nice A/T's... wheels aren't fantastic looking but solid.
Privacy glass
Roof rack (box does NOT come with)

I want anyone who comes to look to know what they're looking at so there are no surprises... I'm about as honest a guy as they come & I hate waisting my time & a potential buyers... so here is the bad list:

-Rear a/c & heat is disconnected.. the control switch is broken & stuck in the on position on high heat, it's 1 wire to plug in
-Small dent at drivers door handle
-Power locks/keyless entry non functioning (no FOB, never had one so can not confirm it would work)
-Very minor scratches here or there, the paint is fully glossy & very sharp looking!
-windshield has a chip that has been repaired, no cracks
-It sounds like there is an exhaust leak developing, it goes away once it's warmed up so it could just be the exhaust manifold needs torquing down (a broken bolt was extracted & replaced 2 months ago)

And that is just about it.  So like I said, I don't take car maintenance lightly & spent BIG bucks to make this car as reliable & sound as could be.  MY LOSS YOUR GAIN.  I just want something smaller for myself & am willing to hear offers, but don't make me laugh please.  I'm already offering a nearly fully rebuilt car for the lowest blue book.

Car has 205k miles on it currently, clean title in hand in my name & ready to hand over!

Please call 503.875.4557 for any questions or if there are more specific images you'd like to see. 

Trades I'd consider: Astro Van, vanagon, awd station wagon, dual sport, enduro, motorcycle, VW Van...

Mazda MX-5 Miata to spawn coupe, Mazda6 to get quick successive updates

Thu, 28 Aug 2014



Despite the PRHT's availability, some are still yearning for a proper fixed-head coupe.
We are just days away from the official unveiling of the next-generation 2016 Mazda MX-5 Miata on September 3, and it's fair to say that the mouths of enthusiasts are watering in anticipation for the latest version of this iconic roadster. Hard facts about the new droptop aren't easy to find, and in the absence of further disclosure from Mazda officials, the rumormill is in full swing, including word that a long-awaited hardtop coupe model will figure into the new generation's plans.

44 Miatas engaged to spell happiness from above

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

We've seen all manner of ways to propose marriage, from the usual candlelit dinner to the Jumbotron at the big game. A friend of ours recently proposed with his a barbershop quartet singing backup. But this has to be a new one - and one that automotive enthusiasts would probably find even more touching than a sky-writing biplane.
A member of the Miata.net forum recently asked other MX-5 enthusiasts to help him pop the big question to his bride-to-be. He got 31 Miatas together and needed just four more, but after appealing to his fellow roadster fans, over 40 turned up in the parking lot at the local high school.
The groom-to-be runs an aerial photography business and used an unmanned drone which his girlfriend thought would be shooting some local real estate properties when it flew over the parking lot and captured the image you see above with 44 little roadsters spelling out "Marry Me?" The answer, in case you were wondering, was a resounding "Yes!" How could she not, after all, when those Mazda convertibles are just so darn adorable? Now they'll just need to figure out what they'll be driving to the chapel on the big day.
