1996 Mazda Miata Mx-5 W/ Hard Top Manual Trans - Zoom Zoom on 2040-cars
Saint Charles, Illinois, United States
|
You are bidding on a used 1996 Mazda Miata MX-5 convertible with approximately 84,000 miles on the odometer. This car is in great running condition and a blast to drive with or without the top down. I am the third non smoking adult owner of this Miata and while in my possession has been garage kept and not driven in winter. Here is a list of the features and options:
Mechanically the car runs great with the exception of a small valve cover leak I have been meaning to fix but have not. The engine pulls you just enough to make you smile when approaching red line. Shifting is effortless with a quick flick of the wrist. The clutch, brakes, and fluids are all in great shape. The tires are at about 70-80% and should last a few years depending on how you drive. A few years ago I had the rear main seal replaced along with all the seals in the transmission. Wheels do not have any major gouging or cracks however they could use a paint job. As I mentioned the hard top has been repainted but you really have to look hard at the window gasket to tell. The car has typical dings, scratches, and chips for a car this age. Unfortunately the rocker panels are rusted and bubbling in some spots as you can see in the pictures. The rust is contained to behind the front tires and in front of the rear tires along the black painted rocker panel. The rest of the paint shines up nicely with a little wax. Windows are clear and the interior cloth seats have no rips or tears. This car is a BLAST to drive and just fast enough to get you in trouble if you let it. This action is for local pick up only in the western suburbs of Chicago. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. If you leave a phone number I will call back after working hours. Please take a look at my 100% positive feed back I have always received. I have sold 2 cars previously on E-Bay and have always had positive feedback. You can bid with confidence. Apon winning the auction a $500 deposit to my PayPal account within 3 days is required. The remainder of the balance is due in cash and must be completed within 10 days of auction ending. Good luck bidding and thanks for your interest in my auction. |

Mazda recalling 18k Mazda6 and RX-8 models over airbag inflators
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Faulty Takata airbag inflators keep taking their toll on automakers. Mazda is the latest to be affected in the US by announcing a recall covering 18,050 Mazda6 and RX-8 models to replace the front, passenger-side airbags. Specifically, the campaign covers 18,000 Mazda6 units from the 2003 and 2004 model years built between May 29, 2002, and March 4, 2004, and 50 RX-8 vehicles from the 2004 model year made between June 25, 2003, and June 30, 2003.
As with the rest of the vehicles with these faulty inflators, it's possible for the part to rupture when deploying the airbag and potentially spray shrapnel at the occupant. Mazda's defect notice goes into a bit more detail than most about the problem saying: "some propellant wafers have been produced with an inadequate compaction force, or may have been exposed to uncontrolled moisture conditions (those wafers could have absorbed moisture beyond the allowable limits)."
This isn't Mazda's first difficulty with Takata-supplied airbags this year. The company was among the seven automakers that recalled vehicles in hot-weather states over the inflators. It also had to recently fix 42,000 Mazda6 vehicles in China over the issue.
Mazda6 diesel to race at Rolex 24, team and drivers announced
Fri, 04 Jan 2013Mazda is getting serious about showing off the Skyactiv-D turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine in the Mazda6. The automaker has just announced it will campaign three diesel Mazda6 racers in the Grand-Am GX class of the upcoming 2013 Rolex 24 at Daytona in a quest to walk away with the company's 24th class win. Mazda partnered with SpeedSource to develop the race version of the new sedan, with Japanese and American engineers lending a helping hand where needed. Meanwhile, Freedom Autosport and Visit Florida Racing/SpeedSource/Yellow Dragon Racing will helm teams of their own.
Each car will make use of a five-driver team for the 24-hour race on January 26. In the interim, you can check out the full press release below for more information as well as the full driver roster. Mazda says we can expect to see the No. 70 SpeedSource car under the lights at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show later this month, as well.
Will Mazda show the next Miata's chassis in NY?
Fri, 21 Mar 2014Mazda is being very sneaky about what it is bringing to the New York Auto Show, and it might have something to do with the next-generation MX-5 Miata. Australian website Motoring.com.au spoke to a company insider who told it that at least the chassis for the roadster would debut in Manhattan. The rumor goes that the show will act as the kickoff for the PR campaign for the new model.
We contacted Mazda USA PR Director Jeremy Barnes to find out more, and he would neither confirm nor deny the rumor. "Just because you read it on the Internet doesn't mean you should repeat it," he said to Autoblog. That's not exactly an outright, No.
Supporting evidence that the new drop top might be appearing in the Big Apple includes Mazda's plan to celebrate the model's 25th anniversary at the show. It's bringing 15 cars from the first three generations to display. "It will be absolutely worth attending the New York Auto Show if you're a Miata fan," Barnes said. That at least hints that there might be something he's not telling us. Otherwise it's a lot of sizzle without much steak.
