1996 Mazda Miata - Low Miles - Hardtop - No Reserve on 2040-cars
Boise, Idaho, United States
|
I bought this 1996 Mazda Miata in August, 2013 after moving to Boise, Idaho. The Miata is alot of fun to drive, but it just hasn't turned out to be very practical for me. I would not hesitate to drive this Miata anywhere. I think that it is in exceptional condition for an 18 year old, daily driver sports car. Main Description - This car is very reliable. It has been my daily driver since August, 2013 and I have had no problems with it in 100°+ summer temps or 15° winter temps. It has relatively low mileage for an 18 year old car: 114,890. It has a factory hardtop with rear window defroster. It is equipped with the popular equipment package, which includes power windows, cruise control, and a Torsen limited-slip differential. It has good working heat and A/C. It currently wears NB Miata wheels with good Toyo Proxes tires and includes the original wheels wrapped in Nokian Hakkapeliita snow tires (yes, it is a lot of fun in the snow). This car has always been garaged by myself and the previous (long term) owner. This car has always been well maintained and includes lots of service records. I recently replaced a couple vacuum lines, replaced the valve cover gasket and CAS o-ring, and changed the transmission oil, differential oil, and engine oil. Full Disclosure of Known Issues - It leaks a small amount of gear oil from the transmission; sometimes a drop overnight, sometimes a drop every couple days. The power antenna does not always fully retract/extend; the antenna motor always runs properly, the problem is mechanical. The windshield has a couple of rock chips and lots of small pitting; it isn’t cracked, but replacing it was something I planned on doing. The driver seat upholstery is damaged at the left bolster. The horizontal surfaces of the hood and trunk have a number of small dings; the paint is not damaged in these areas. It is hard to photograph this, as the dings are small, but I have included a couple of photos which capture this to the best of my ability. The windshield washer nozzles need to be cleaned; they do not currently spray properly.                          |

Feds investigating 2010-11 Mazda CX-9 CUVs over braking issues
Mon, 17 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating 62,000, 2010-2011 Mazda CX-9 models over brake problems. The government safety watchdog says it has received seven complaints of an observed loss of power braking power to stop the crossover, according to the The Detroit News.
The NHTSA complaints say that the problem causes a hard pedal, increased braking effort and reduced braking effectiveness. Some complaints allege that they hear a hissing noise during braking similar to the sound of air leaving the tires. No injuries or crashes have been reported.
"As always, we are fully cooperating with NHTSA on their investigation. We cannot comment further at this time," said Mazda spokesperson Tamara Mlynarczyk to The Detroit News.
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.
Mazda begins building Mazda3 in Mexico for US
Tue, 07 Jan 2014With fluctuations in international currencies and rising shipping costs to take into account, foreign automakers can't get away with building cars overseas and selling them in North America as easily as they used to. Particularly with inexpensive mainstream models. And given the benefits of cheaper labor and free trade under NAFTA, many have opted to assemble their cars for the North American market in Mexico. That's why the likes of Toyota, Mercedes and BMW have all opened plants in Mexico. And now Mazda has followed suit.
Ground was initially broken for Mazda de Mexico Vehicle Operations at Salamanca in the state of Gunajuato back in 2011, but production has just now gotten under way. The first vehicle to roll off the line? A Mazda3 sedan destined for the United States. Soon, the plant will begin production of the next Mazda2 as well, selling it alongside its larger counterpart across the Americas and in Europe as production expands to 230,000 units annually.
