Greenwood, South Carolina, United States

 Love the Car but it's time to go back to a 4-seater. I purchased from a friend in August 2013. I was really surprised how well it handled. I've gotten 30 mpg in town & 34 mpg  on longer trips. It had 208,000 miles when I got it. I have driven it to Ohio, Georgia several times, use it daily to town.  She's been very dependable.  Feb.  had waterpump, serpentine belt & timing belt replaced & also 2 heater hoses. Air conditioning is very cold, heater is very hot. The previous owner said tires wear well on it, & I agree. Tires are same as when purchased, but still alot of tread left. been rotated. Oil & filter been changed 3 times since I had. Plugs replaced once. Everything else same as since I had.

Paint is original and was faded when I purchased, 2 weeks after I got, our road was re-paved, thought it would be a good thing, but county is trying to save money and are re-cycle paving.  Bad for cars. Lots of little rocks & little chips in paint(see pictures)but it was faded. Then in January, someone backed into passenger door in a parking lot(so door repair or replacement will be needed). Door is still fully functional.  License plate piece needs to be replaced(a 2-liter soda dropped while unloading groceries-see pictures)

No body rust(except on edge of door that needs repair from a previous owner mishap).  Seats have covers on until car is sold.

Top had a cut in top that my friend put duct tape on(I removed & put a patch of vinyl with shoe goo inside & out; hasn't leaked yet). I use 303 protectant on top, vinyl & rubber.

All doors, windows, latches, door locks, and mechanical work. *PLEASE LOOK AT ALL PICTURES, MACRO ON CAMERA USED TO SHOW DETAIL*PICTURES ARE PART OF DESCRIPTION.

I still drive daily, so miles may end up being slightly more or less(I estimated to end of auction)No long trips planned.

Thanks & Happy Bidding.
 ** *Plan to pay, pickup or arrange for shipping. Payment in full required within 7 days of end of auction by money order/cashiers check/cash.  500.00 deposit required through paypal within 24 hours of end of auction.******

Mazda announces live-streaming vehicle intro on Xbox

Wed, 19 Jun 2013

In April, Mazda introduced a marketing campaign titled "Game Changers" to showcase how certain people have made significant impacts in their respective sports, and now it's the Japanese automaker that is changing the game by creating an innovative way to launch a new product. Mazda is teaming up with Xbox to offer a first-of-its-kind live-streaming global debut of a new product. Mazda didn't say which model will be debuted, but our guess is that it will be the next-generation Mazda3.
The actual reveal will take place at 9 pm on June 26 during a live concert from the band Metric in New York City, but there will be other live events preceding the concert in Melbourne, St. Petersburg, Istanbul and London. Mazda will be promoting the event on social media using the hashtag #GameChanger, and there is also a contest on Xbox where one winner will receive $2,500 to attend a music event of their choice. Scroll down for the full details of the contest and vehicle debut event.

Mazda3 successor due in dealers this fall

Sat, 23 Mar 2013

Following exciting new models like the 2013 CX-5 and 2014 Mazda6, Mazda is getting ready to introduce the next generation of its high-volume compact, the Mazda3. After talking to several of Mazda's dealers, Automotive News is reporting that the automaker is planning to introduce its new compact this fall, which is earlier than what was originally reported.
Aside from what we've seen in recent spy shots and what appeared to be a full-scale design mockup back in October, there is little information about the third-generation 3, but we can see that the car will get plenty of cues from Mazda's stylish Kodo design language, and we expect even more technologies from the company's SkyActiv efficiency program to come to bear. AN says that Mazda is hoping to top 300,000 sales this year in the US, and the sooner Mazda can replace the current aging 3, the better chances it has at reaching that goal.

eBay Find of the Day: 1990 Mazda Miata with just 27 original miles

Wed, 14 Aug 2013

Some cars have low mileage, and others have close to no miles at all. This 1990 Mazda Miata, currently listed on eBay Motors and located in Kingman, Arizona, falls into the latter category with only 27 miles on the odometer, according to the seller. But we have to wonder: how did one of the best-driving, most influential sports cars of the past two decades sit without being driven for 24 years? Consider it the seller's loss on this one.
The seller says he bought the car with 20 miles on it, and explains 6.9 miles were added when the car was towed home on a car dolly. It was never registered. Furthermore, the seller says the car didn't come with a set of keys, so he had to have a set made. Though the paint is clean and shiny, the Miata didn't escape minor cosmetic damage over the years, with scratches on the hood, the trunk and the factory hardtop that is included with the car. The front, right fender has a small dent as well, which can be seen in a picture. The seller says the car was stored in a building with windows, so the paint is faded a bit in some places. It's missing its antenna and the battery, and the only non-original parts on the car are the windshield wipers. The clear-title car comes with all paperwork, according to the seller, but, besides the owners manual, he didn't specify what other documentation would be included.
With bidding currently at $10,300 and the reserve not met, this Miata definitely isn't the deal of the century, and we have to question where the value is in this one. The way we see it, it's hard to justify the money if it can't be driven as-is (come on, no battery?), has questionable history, isn't rare and sat in storage for its whole existence. The "weather cracked" tires are probably just the first rubber parts on the car that need to be replaced before it can be driven, but at least the spark plugs were removed and the cylinders were filled with Marvel Mystery Oil prior to storage, which helps to prevent rust and corrosion from forming in the engine.
